That's a really interesting interview which does provide food for thought about our development squad arrangement, where most of the players get few opportunities to play competitively...
Key passage:
“Going to America stopped my momentum,” Anderson says. “Coming back to England during Covid killed me.”
He signed for Wycombe Wanderers, then a Sky Bet Championship club, and lived in a shared house with three other players 250 miles from Alice in Lancaster and the South Lakes, where his parents, Terry and Andrea, lived. Anderson hardly played. “I went from loving football, ages eight to 18, to thinking, ‘This isn’t what I thought it was,’ ” he says solemnly.
We seem to have changed our approach to loaning out B team players in the last couple of years. Of course, the season he was with us there was no non-league football for him to play on loan.

One day that kind of schoolboy error is going to get someone shot!
AAh2 I'd say
Alex Samuel battling on Sky, if you want to win a free kick or a corner he's great but at 3-0 down he's the last thing you need up front.
If you're being generous that's 2 assists since I posted this 🤣
Going to be an exciting last 20, one goal in it! Samuel causing problems, should have scored earlier when clean through.
Tbf was a great ball he put in for the 2nd goal
Good game, VAR desperate to try and ruin it of course.
Red card for County, but overturned by VAR.
Dixon went from about 6th choice striker to 1st choice almost overnight, and had a real purple patch 5 or 6 game spell.
Sanchez came in and said how people told him this guy is great, but he said he watches him and he looks like a kid in men's football!
Sanchez also said he’d ‘come from nowhere,’ when he’d been at the club since he was about fourteen.
That sounds about right. I'm remembering so many random fringe players from that era now...
Probably Kashket is the closest type player we've had since.
Fairly frail, but very pacy and really needs a big man with him.
Kashket just seemed to have something a bit more special about him finishing wise though.
Former Wanderers 'keeper set for dramatic career change
9 toed cyclist doesn't sound ideal
Jamal Blackman released by Exeter.
So, in Florence right now: Bayo, Mango Man, Curtis, Scotty K, oh and JJ. Old Boys reunion, golden age.
And Alex S. Scotty turning up for dinner in a white suit on an electric scooter, classic!
Is this a fever dream?
Instagram- which in many ways is just that!
I think Scotty K is set to get married. Presumably that’s what’s going on.
Didn't he get married in his Crewe year?
I thought Instagram was for teens and early 20s.
Obvs you're young at heart etc but I'm not sure I've ever heard someone of your "vintage " mention it so feverishly :)
Just did a quick scan and it was his wedding today.
Congrats, Scotty.
I am sure he would not have had to look far for a tailor!
Anthony Stewart last week, Scott Kashket this week, lots of pics on social media if anyone is interested, congratulations to both.
...or maybe Bobby C is buying Fiorentina
Of course how could I omit the Gasroom’s favourite ‘old boys’ wedding guest in the pics ……….
