Breaking News Danny Waldron joins Tamworth on loan for rest of season

[JCB]

Can’t get a game for Tamworth. A really huge miss by the scouting department. That said, was laughable when some were criticising Maher for not starting him - blokes clearly just not up to it

 

[stewart]

think they got the Waldron / Waldren wrong when scouting .

I don't believe it was. I don't like to criticise players but, from what I've heard, it's his attitude to training that has been a problem.

Sad to say danny is a member of the dead wood brigade that we will part company in the summer .Along with 3or4 others that we need off the wage bill .To bring in better quality of players .

I don’t believe it’s an attitude problem as in a trouble maker or doesn’t work hard per se.

I used the example with Bim. He knew what he needed to work on, and asked senior pros and the management team to do extra. Bonne in particular gave him loads of additional time.

Danny didn’t do that. Whether he couldn’t be bothered, wasn’t aware of what was needed, or whatever his reason, I don’t know.

Bim is a perfect example to all young players, whether you are in the game or wanting to get into it. Danny wasn’t, but in his defence, not many are (in the game in general, not at Southend).

I still think this comes down to his age and lack of experience playing higher up. I was always sceptical of a 27 year old that was still playing at the level he was playing at. You feel that they are set in their ways, as they've been doing it for so long. Room for improvement is hard as everything is already embedded in their mindset and routine. The players they are playing against are semi-pro and are prone to leave spaces in the second half, as they are tired. Players simply don't get that time and space the higher up you go.

I always come back to Reid that was at Harlow many years ago, and had an amazing goal return and plenty of our fans questioned why we hadn't signed him. It was because he was entrenched in that level and the step up was always going to be too big. It's quite apparent this is the same with Danny.

As we said before, he came during the dark times and we thank him for that and he can also be proud that he was brave enough to give up his job and have a go. When he retires, he won't have that regret. We wish him well.

Pretty conclusive as a dud signing. He was a gamble and it hasn't come off. No amount of training is gonna make up the level he needed to improve to be up to the standard we need.

Another tick in the box for Macauley Bonne. I know he started slow but I really think since Christmas he’s been one of our best players, and his attitude has been exemplary. 4 goals in his last 10 too.

I really think with a full pre-season he could be a real asset next season and I hope they decide to keep him around.

This has nothing to do Danny Waldron so apologies for going off topic. Though I will say, if it’s a choice between Bonne and taking a risk on a signing from the league below, I’d much rather go with what we know.

as said before, mr bonne has other attributes that adds to the team and squad... he seems a real 'cheerleader' and celebrates as hard when others score, not just himself..

I don't think we will want him joining the Blue Belles.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Harder, I'd say. Did no one else spot him crack open that big bottle of Bollinger in the centre circle after his last-minute goal against Wealdstone?

 

[thenobster]

he'd shake his pom poms with much gusto and vigour, I'm sure

Absolutely agree. Will be a pivotal player if retained next season.

Yes, that's why I said his attitude to training rather than just his attitude. I heard of multiple occasions of late arrivals and early get aways and just a poor attitude to what needed to be done. It's a shame because we have definitely seen glimpses of what made us go for him....so, whether it is that he couldn't be bothered or wasn't aware what was needed, he sure as heck didn't apply himself in the way others, like Bim, as in your example, did.

Maybe he was still 'keeping his hand in' with his previous job ?
