it's a vicous circle poor Dani is stook in.
Started the season well, so Roy put him in the team on merit. Smiles for Dani + Roy. First team then play Northampton, Dani is trusted to start the game, along with various other reserve team and youth players. Both parties are again happy. The first team then loses to Northampton. Not good. A few weeks down the line and everyone but two players that started that match has played again for the first team. One being a reserve goalkeeper and the other being Dani Pacheco. Why? Only Roy knows. It seems, from recent quotes and general assumptions that Dani did not preform well enough in that game to warant a place in any team since. But didn't the whole team preform badly really?
So Dani is now down in the dumps and shows up late for a match. Roy doesn't like him now so won't pick him for match squads. Dani trains hard but to no avail. Roy still doesn't pick him. Dani becomes demoralised because of the effort he puts into training but gets no game time. Rumours start to circulate about him leaving. Roy isen't happy again, so won't play him. Dani becomes even more disheartened. Dani is placed in the reserves and runs games, scoring a brilliant goal en route. Still no game time. John Henry tells Roy that he has to buy young in January, if any transfer activity. Roy realises he has a very good younger player at the club with plenty of potential. He decides to rectify the situation by giving young Dani some game time, no wait, he further demoralises him by saying he has to work even harder to get into a match day squad, some might even say an attack on Dani, a teenager with under 15 games in his career played. Dani thinks why should I work so hard when I can't play.
It is shocking that he is the only player since to not feature in a team sheet ( 18 players ) let alone any match as a starter or a substitute.
Apparently he is not in the match day squad for Spurs, so please please please say he might feature against Steau. He is full of potential but there is only one way of fulfilling it.
