Redbridge have revealed
a ‘Two year plan’ at the Ryman League North club which will bring
in young, talented players through the system.
The Motormen manager
Del Robinson, also a coach at West Ham United, has expressed his
intent of finding younger players who ‘want to wear the shirt’.
Robinson revealed the
managing duo are keen to look towards the youngsters, “I think when
managers come into new clubs and the supporters have expectations,
sometimes you’ve just got to start from the beginning and that’s
what me and Steve [Portway] want to do.”
“We’ve got a lot of
younger players training with us now down at the training camp and
we’re encouraging them to train with the older guys and hopefully
one day they’ll end up being Redbridge players.
“It’s a two year
project.” Robinson confirmed.
Talking in a more
recent fixture, Robinson was adamant that the players in his squad
must want to play for the club rather than just wanting to play
football, “We need to get our own guys in who want to wear the
shirt.”
“We had a few people
around us that were looking for a game of football, I don’t want
that, I want players that want to play for the club.
“The younger elements
that will want to be here on a night like this and want to learn,
that’s what we want, I’d rather lose with that.” Robinson said.
Redbridge are currently
second-from-bottom in the Ryman North division, with just two wins
from 14 matches. The Motormen have conceded 43 times this campaign,
the most goals in the league.
Redbridge were formally
known as Ford United prior to July 2004, but the name was changed in
an attempt to attract a larger support within the local area.
