Pre-season Report..... Not a lot happening this pre-season as the boys have taken a well deserved break after snaring the 2021 Premiership. However pre-season training has gone up a gear since New Year and we can report on a few players who are overcoming injuries suffered in 2021. Jack Buckley is on track for a mid-season return as he recovers from a ruptured ACL. Kane Farrell (knee) is back in drills as he nears the end of his ACL recovery. Hugh Greenwood, after missing the last 6 games of 2021, is shaping up as an important part of Banchang's midfield group this year. He’s fit and firing and looks ready to play a significant role, which is a welcome relief. Ruckman Sam Hayes is ready to make his debut and has impressed the Coaching Staff with his performances on the track and football smarts. The 22-year-old has pushed senior teammates Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams in training, and there is an acknowledgement that he deserves his chance early in 2022.
In his 1st training session at The Stadium since being drafted with pick #9........ Kiddy Coleman ( D/F) has been lighting it up in match sims. Endurance has massively improved, attacking off half back, getting the one twos and then distributing effectively. Very exciting to see what he can do this year and currently my D4 swingman.
So I had no idea who this player was when you picked him...... now all I see on my feeds is Coleman breakout player. Great pick up and knowledge
From the latest hit-out- Coleman was elegant & a playmaker. Cementing himself for that half back role (at D4 )
To co-incide with Chinese New Year, held last weekend, the Banchang Executive decided to invite all present players on a Pre-season Barcrawl to help team morale for the forthcoming season.... Everyone had a great time, so much so, that Taylor Adams asked for his transfer request to be cancelled and that he wished to remain in Thailand. The request was granted and he has signed a 1 yr Contract for season 2023.......
