Coaching shake up - confirmed

[Convict Colony]

Based on Englands inability to score and then concede soft goals maybe southgate will become our new manager

Sorry but this made me laugh -

Carl Martin, who led Saints Under-18s to the Premier League South title last season, moves up to support the senior side, with particular focus on work in possession of the ball.

Alex Clapham seems to concentrate on analysing and coaching set pieces as well as doing a lot of work for various academies.  Also written a few pieces for the Guardian on various academies and how they produce players.

Seems County fans aren’t fussed about Clapham leaving (read comments)

Wonder if we’ll see someone like Carl Martin promoted? Seems to have done a very good job with the youth.

Good shout. Hopefully he has a better impact than Fleming, who followed a similar trajectory as Carl has.

Like the Carl Martin move. Ralph has seen him operate at first team level and also good for the top academy lads (assuming we keep them) that they know him well and vice versa.

Will also be interesting to see the coaching setup at U18 level given Martin/Harris worked so well.

Even our coaches are now youngsters lol

Interesting group. Nobody with high level playing experience to have that knowledge and insight to help players. I would have thought someone like James Beattie who’s doing well as a coach would’ve been on a list to have in. Especially as he might have been able to help the forwards! 
 

Anyway, definitely no more excuses for Ralph if he has selected this group. 

[Suhari]

Interesting.

More experience and greater diversity of experience than the past mob. Fresh ideas and (presumably) greater variety in training

Excited to see how things pan out.

Only technically two new coaches than in Selles and Clapham.

Well, 2 County "fans" aren't fussed (one called spaff). Wouldn't take too much notice of what "fans" say on Twitter, bit like on here.

Looks like we've appointed an 'U18 Individual Development Coach', Pete Haynes from Cheltenham:
