NEW Trowbridge coach Adrian Goldstone has warned not to expect any instant magic, but believes that in time he can take the club as far as they are prepared to go.

The 56-year-old has enjoyed a prestigious coaching career, including working with players such as Austin Healey, Andy Gomersall and Gareth Archer during a three-year spell as coach of the England Under 21s, and he hopes he can work his magic on some of Trowbridge's youngsters.

Goldstone has been out of the game for a couple of years with a back injury he picked up coaching, but is now excited about the task ahead.

He said: "There is a young squad here with plenty of enthusiasm

and enormous potential, but

ultimately our success will depend on their ambitions, both as players and as people.

"I don't want people to think that things will change overnight I'm not Harry Potter but I am definitely looking to take the club forward. I haven't had much time to get to know the squad but from what I have seen things look good.

"I am looking towards the first three months of the season as being diagnostic; it will be case of getting to know each other."

Trowbridge won promotion to the Southern Counties South Division at the end of last season and Goldstone believes that with the right ambition they could continue to move forward.

He said: "With my previous coaching experience I can take the club as far as they want to go. I have talked to the players and the board about what I think and now it is down to their ambitions.

"There will have to be a change of culture if the club wants to become successful and I have already started trying to put that in place by insisting that we train twice a week instead of the one session they did before.

"The board thought that perhaps this would be a bit below me after my previous jobs, but that isn't the case at all. I am looking forward to the challenge."

The former England coach started his coaching career at Lichfield where he took the team to the National League Division Three South. During his career he has also coached the Staffordshire county team and the Midlands under 21 side before moving south where he coached the Bristol under 21s and then the Bristol senior side.

He admits that this season will mainly be one of consolidation as the players get used to his methods and their aim will be surviving in their new league.

"We have just been promoted and the important thing is to make sure we stay there. The side has already been successful and so it would be wrong of me to come in and change things immediately.

"My aim is to improve the strength of the second team and to eventually create a third team so that competition for places will be intense.

"I also think it is important to develop our youth set-up so that we have good youngsters ready to bring in. I hope to create a club that attracts the better players."
