Richard Money has done yet another revealing interview for the Evening Mail. He started by praising goalkeeper Clayton Ince and the start vhe has made to his Bescot career:-

“I think he’s just a big guy that wants to be loved a little bit. He’s found an environment that he’s enjoying.”

There have been several doubts among Walsall fans about the Trinidad and Tobago International, but Money revealed this week that, before offering him a contract, he did plenty of asking around and the messages he got back reaffirmed his own view from seeing Ince on trial at Bescot: “Sign him up.”

“I think there were one or two eyebrows raised when he was our choice as goalkeeper,” he told the Mail, “But I spoke to an awful lot of people who have worked with Clayton and the same message kept coming back. Terrific goal-keeper, great shot-stopper and terrific at coming for crosses. People have questioned his kicking but I’ve seen nothing wrong with that at all so far.”

It’s what Money goes on to say next which is even more revealing about his style, however.

“One thing I learned when I went abroad - and it’s got nothing to do with the level you’re able to work at - is the different attitude there to treating players. A lot of English coaches seem to think you can treat everyone the same but I don’t believe in that. I think you have to treat the individual. You give everyone the same opportunity but you don’t treat them the same.

What I’m saying is that I’ve learned that people’s mentalities are different. Different things make different people tick and you’ve got to find out what it is that makes that particular person tick. I think with Clayton he just likes an environment he is comfortable in. We have tried to give him that and he has performed at his best.”
