Hopefully his family is over with him now, he’s settled into somewhere other then a hotel, and he can perform.9

He really wasn't given much of a chance and I hoopoe he is given that chance in pre season and proves you doubters wrong.2 -

Like I said those that see him every day didn't think he was selectable. I can't write him off on what I have seen, because I haven't seen enough, but I would guess they have?0 -

When we had Reserve team matches, returning from injury players would be given 45 minutes or so before being considered for the first team squad to check/ establish their match fitness which is something that must be open to question if only training at SL.
Whether the u23s are considered sacrosanct or whether the powers that be decide that first team squad players aren't ideally suited to perform in these games, remains to be seen.
But I would have thought that Ronnie would have jumped at the chance to play in a couple of competitive games in order to show what he could do. More minutes under his belt would surely have benefited both himself and the watching management team.
Apologies if I am totally off the mark here.2 -

Totally agree they should play more of them. The kids would learn off them, in most cases, as well.2 -

And even in the former case - as Maddison shows, professional footballers' mental health is actually considerably more complex than perhaps given credit for. He could have been in a very bad place to be playing at all.
While I agree with you in general principle I would be wary about drawing too many conclusions without knowing more.3 -

I'm not saying that Ronnie's mental health wasn't part of the issue but maybe we'd have to ask him if he felt he was given the best possible opportunity to showcase why he was signed as in playing more regularly , albeit it at a "lower level".
When something major is bringing us low mentally, we need another something to bring a smidgen of positivity back into our lives to remind us that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
If Ronnie had played more minutes for the u23s, his confidence may well have increased and, as a result, his mental health improved to a degree. A win win situation, surely ?1 - Sponsored links:

Or maybe the fact that he came over to prove himself and make an impact and could "only" get reserve/youth games was part of it.
Again, all speculation and supposition so who knows for sure. Hopefully we see a motivated and refreshed RS ping a few goals in preseason and go from strength to strength.1 -
I've still got high hopes for Ronnie this season, hoping he's a bit more settled now and has his family with him.
He joined during a worldwide pandemic, hard enough to join from overseas even during 'normal' times.8 -
Still gets a chance for me if that's what Adkins & Sandgaard want.
If it's not what they want, it's incredibly harsh and I feel bad for him moving when he did.
I think he can be an asset with a few tweaks to his game.20 -

A hattrick against Sheffield Wednesday would really help his game.2

Ronnie Schwartz is the Elephant in the room.
I want to believe the Covid situation and his family affected him but we are in the 3rd tier and Ronnie with his experience should have knocked in goals similar to other poachers in League 1.
Why wasn't he getting picked ?
Being a Owners pick is always problematical at Cafc as we have learnt over recent years. I don't have insider information on his sport science stats in training but not to be involved when we needed a penalty area player especially at home when we had Stockley needing someone to help him around the box is strange. Aneke going will now bring this into focus because Ronnie has a 2 and a half year contract when he signed which is looking dubious business at the moment.
Can a healthy and up to speed Schwartz fit into our pattern of play ?
Not sure we can wait too long into the season to find out as we have to replace Chuks which may well push Ronnie down to number 4 behind Stockley, Washington and new striker/Forward/ goal scorer.1 -

So far in his time here, the team has not set up to accommodate him.
And until we do, we won't see the best of him.

Trust me, Ronnie Schwartz is the new Derek Hales. He’s gonna become a club legend this coming season 🙄4

With a full Pre-season under his belt....he's worth another go.0

And I don't sense that Nigel will change the way he likes to play to accommodate a "penalty area poacher" which is why both Washington who is good defensively as well as in forward positions ,( improved his quality the longer the season went on) and Stockley who also covers so much ground in a match as well as his aerial battles with CB will always be picked ahead of Ronnie the way things stand at the moment.
The strike by Ronnie against Wimbledon was clean and accurate and yet it was downhill from that point on.
Having spoken to various players, (and a few academy parents at Sparrows lane) coaches and managers over the years, players being settled and happy and being in the team and with no injuries or problems off the field are so important. I learnt a lot about the state of mind of players from chats with Jonny Williams and Wiggins(a year after he retired) in the west stand; and I'm a Cafc fan after all, had great chats with Johnny Humphreys( sports teacher) and Paul Mortimer(when he was doing coaching with Cafc Women) on trains !
The perception many fans have of players is so different to the reality and the insecurities many feel. When Chatting to Rhoys Wiggins (poor bloke had to sit next to me) he said Before he even played a League match for Palace ( he played 1 game) he had a bad injury as an academy player on a tour of the states which he felt affected him for the rest of his career ! He went on to play 200 games in his career and 124 for Cafc so no wonder that he felt Cafc was his team. He also knew that in his second game for Birmingham (on loan from Bournemouth) at just 29 years old that the final injury would be his last.

Did it go downhill from the excellent finish against Wimbledon or the saved penalty in the last minute? In between, he had the Bowyer treatment of being given a few minutes as a lone striker, then a right midfielder, whereas at least NA opts for players to play in their actual position.0
-
I hope he proves us all wrong, I'm sure we all do. Plenty of us slagged off Bowyer for his inability to nurture players last season, so I think that should be taken into consideration when we dissect Ronnie's first season with us. I personally don't think he will, but will more than happy to hold my hands up and say I was wrong if he starts bagging goals. He's red, he's white, he's our Danish Dynamite, Ronnie Schwartz.3

He hasnt been given much of a run but as a player and especially a sub when you do make an appearance its what you do in that time and for me he hasnt showed what i personally feel we need and he does to be a success at this level i would be happier getting rid and someone abit more proven and who all round game is better but the management may think different! Pre season will be big for him0
-
If he was signed this window we'd be fairly hopeful.
I say give him the preseason and see where he's at. Couple of easy goals in friendlies against b-sides to up his confidence and then see if he starts getting them in the league.4 -

Yet even Bowyer who loved telling players they weren't good enough mentioned multiple times the quality of schwartz's finishing.
I honestly believe it was a case of he didn't work hard enough for our formations.4
