Riley Harbottle

[BryanRoy]

Position: Centre-back
Born: September 2000

Good loan with Wealdstone last season after earning it with his u23 performances bouncing back from being out for over a year after an operation.

Possible debut tonight.

Is he left or right-footed?

From a proud Nottingham football family. Father (Dave) and Uncle (Mark) both were attached to Notts County in the 1980s. Part of the famous Ilkeston team where everyone knew of the Harbottle brothers.

Great story here about his Uncle Mark.

Right-footed.

Based on pre-season - I'd have thought Fernandes would be ahead of him for a debut?

Riley Harbottle sounds like a character in a 1950s George Formby film where he portrays a snooker player from Oldham who is mistaken for a German double-agent. Highjinx ensue.

Riley started pre-season with the first-team before getting the big C & Baba came up from the remaining 23s not training yet with the first team and did well to be fair.

Be interesting to see later. Expect both in the squad.

Big moment for him today......getting his own LTLF thread.

He's the grandson of my parents' window cleaner!
Did well tonight

 

[Loughborough_red]

Yep, really impressed.

 

[gamble]

Harbottle looked really good, I liked the fact allot of his defensive headers weren't aimless, instead he tried to put the ball towards a red shirt.

Looked good positionally, and likes a pass. Wasn’t over-awed by some of Bradford‘s rough-housing either.

Yes he cramped up, but this was a level above probably anything he’s played before.

Decent debut.

 

[Ashley]

Impressed me before he went off. Excellent debut.

 

[BryanRoy]

We would have seen him before now if he hadn't missed the whole of the 2019/20 season I reckon.

He believes in himself and has always been highly regarded. Striding out of defence like he had done it for years.

Is he a central defender?

It's where he was played last night, so unless he was out of position i assume that his nature position.

Can he play left-back?

Can he play left-back?

I've heard they are a myth and don't actually exist

There may be something in this.

Thanks

Np, I spent most of last night checking the team sheet and numbers and correlating them with the players as I had no idea who was who.
