Pendle red,its not harsh,its reality!,kids who break into the first team sometimes think its easy and they have made it,THEY HAVE NOT !!.
In my opinion,you shouldnt be classed as a football pro till you have played at least 100 first team games!
Look at some players profiles and they are playing 8 or 9 games each season,get released,have a good trial,get signed and the cycle starts again.
If i could give Chris any advice it would be listen and trust what the coaches are asking you to do,train like a mad man,and observe what is required from him when the opposition have the ball,he is a talented kid but seems to think he gets judged by how many men he can beat or how many crosses he can deliver,this is not always the case,thats only a small part of a team game( pointless beating a man if you can pass around him,pointless crossing if theres no one there!!!)
