Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

oh dear

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Wish the lad well, Needs to become a footballer in his head though before he can progress imho.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Hope he does well, personally thought he was abit unlucky here.

Just not quite ready for League 2 week in week out, but could do well lower down.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Good Luck to Kurtis really hope he takes this opportunity and things work out for him!

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Agree 100%, How anyone can reckon he was unlucky here is beyond me.:confused: Under 2 managers the lad obviously didn't show enough, surely that aint rocket science?:confused:

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Kurtis apparently said that he is "very much looking forward to playing for Bath City" and that he "hopes that I can impress in my short term deal to make it permanent. It will be a real challenge."

According to the Manager, they've been "scouring the length of the country for a striker" He also said that Kurtis had impressed in training "both in terms of talent and physicality."

Interesting that it's a short-term deal; good that Kurtis realises that "it will be a real challenge"; surprising that he's impressed "in terms of physicality", because getting pushed around was one of his problems last season at our place .....

I agree with everybody; good luck to the lad - hope he can make something out of this chance

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

came on as a sub in the second half , 1-1 draw, mybe this can take over from the seany boy thread, but i doubt it

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

first game at Northampton he had a perfectly good goal ruled out for offside, a few games later he crashed a speculative 35 yarder against the bar at Plymouth. Little things like that can make or break a player.

How many times have people in the know (i class Football19 in this category) said that suchabody is no better than suchabody, just had the lucky break? Had that goal at Northampton stood his confidence would have rocketed. He had done well in pre-season, had quick feet and a trick or two. Granted that he wasn't the strongest physically but neither was I at that age. The goal would have given him the boost he needed and would have improved his apparent bad attitude.

so yes he was unlucky.

He was also wasteful in the sense that he was given an opportunity and word would have it that his attitude towards the game wasn't the greatest.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Spot on Macca,luck plays a massive part,but attitude is key,sometimes you make your own luck,treat every training session as a cup final and you will get a break.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

I think Kurtis would have benefited from reserve team football last season, unfortunately we had just abandoned that format, so he was unlucky on that count too.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

We will have to disagree Macca,As far as i'm concerned, if Coley @ Cooky, Hadn't the faith he would make it, I suggest they got more idea than us, so thats good enough fer me, Football19 has put it in a nutshell "Attitude Is Key" simple as.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Agreed 100% Macca.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Scored a hatrick last night!

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Was M-O-M and scored 2 bullet headers.

Well done Kurtis !

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

maybe we should have loaned him as well! prob just an arm around the shoulder and a bit of direction....certaintly looked happy on the bath web site...good luck fella!

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

To be fair he was loaned out and from what I can gather 'hugged' by the managers he had. Maybe being released by Stanley actually did him a favour and made him realise he had to change ?

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

The kids in the last chance saloon, hope he sees sense.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

scored again yesterday to take them to the top of the league

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Good for him.

Hope he fires them to the BSP !

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Now with Welling in Conference South:

It's from the first seven pics on here (especially see the 7th):

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Good on the lad.

Hope he bags a few more next season .

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Agree with macca
I remember that goal at Northampton it was in-between a diving & stooping header, always thought he would have done well on a hamburger diet because he was so easily knocked of the ball, a young talent with the ability to progress, wishing kurtis good luck at Bath City

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

He's at Welling Utd :)

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Thanks for that info Dave, see he went from Bath to Welling in November

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

He was on a short-term 2-month contract at Bath and, despite his goals, it wasn't renewed after a management reshuffle, probably as an economy measure. Bath reduced their first-team squad to just 14 players and Welling, in the same league, who had had Kurtis on trial pre-season, stepped in and signed him up in November. Kurtis played regularly and had a number of assists but it wasn't until this month's hat-trick that he scored his first goals for them, hence the seventh photo.

Re: Kurtis Guthrie
 

Just signed a 2 year deal at Forest Green - wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the league in the future.

Good luck to the lad, he keeps plugging away.
