Well, you can forget the last one!

True enough, Mick but experience is the biggest factor.
Some great performances from young uns today.
We both agree that there can be too many in a side.1 user thanked author for this post.
I disagree, to an extent Mick.
The point is that these lads will only produce of their best when they have experience amongst them and around them. Our past problems didn’t come from youngsters but from youngsters having to play with even more youngsters.The upside of that has been how many are now ready to slot in alongside more experienced players. This was why I supported Hill’s decision to put so many of these guys into the inferno at the end of last season when the season was gone. The value of that was starting to show through today.
Daniel, Whitehouse and Butterfield brought genuine structure which had previously been lacking – even Feeney looked better in a proper setup and helped younger players.
Gallimore had a really good game – looks a genuine RB now.
Moore-Bilham looks like a real find. Nuttall looked better alongside Daniel.Only Sellars-Fleming didn’t look quite right. He has guts, skill, determination, ability but needs to spend some time in the gym building some muscle. Real promise there, though.
Perhaps Harry Lewis is not an LB. I suggested he might be a few weeks ago and someone took me to task over that. They were right. He is better further forward.
GK looks a find!
I know full well that it was only a friendly but it encouraged me. Am unable to get to the next two – and am lamenting that fact.
We are moving slowly towards a ‘balanced squad’.

I obviously can’t disagree. We need Nuttall to be forced to play for his place.

Lumby scored so many of his with headers in the 6 yard box.
Flounders scored more with his head than many tend to remember – last touch from 3 yards out.
When I think of Cammy, I see him going two paces into the box in left channel and then hammering across the GK and inside his left hand post.
He did that with SO many goals!
A smile and a sigh!That hadn’t occurred to me before. Would have thought O’Malley was pencilled in to start.

I’ll settle for just two strikers, WG.
We’ll only have spent a tiny amount of money so far, consequently, we can clearly afford to spend 25% of the budget on a real goal-scorer and another 25% on a player so fast that no defender can keep up as he cuts defences to ribbons.
It has to be that – what other outcome could there possibly be? My only worry is that they won’t be here before Saturday.

One good thing. At least it can’t get any w … Oh!

I don’t think I’m likely to live long enough to see it – and for my age I’m not in bad nick.
Only a takeover – and by a decent consortium – can possibly turn our fortunes around.2 users thanked author for this post.
I don’t want any loan players in who haven’t got at least 40 or 50 league games under their belts. Young loanees to make up the numbers is not the way to go.
Bringing in the untried and untested to lift a team with our problems is crazy!
We’ve done it year after year and is one – amongst many – reasons why we are where we are today.
League Two plodders are preferable to the inexperienced ‘with great potential’.4 users thanked author for this post.
Sorry , Mick – I don’t understand the title.
