practically all league 2 clubs would get relegated if they had to play their 2nd string all season.Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:39 am That team would get relegated.
I thought Young had gone out on loan as well?
Supposed to be on loan to Wealdstone. That said played 48 minutes of one pre-season friendly, and hasn't been in their squad for any of their National League matches.Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:39 am That team would get relegated.

No they wouldn’t. Not even close.Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 6:39 am That team would get relegated.

You reckon a midfield 3 of Brown, Obeiro and Young could compete at L2 as a unit? Like, seriously?

What we should be able to agree on is that its a better reserve team than we have had for many years. Should give us cause for optimism through the season ahead.

I'm not sure we're going to get very far with this one - that midfield would see you relegated.
Full agreement from over here as well.Paddy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:25 pmFully agreeLittleMate wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:22 pm Its a mute point chaps. Its a reserve team.

Agree with the Plumber here, have people forgotten the midfield we were fielding back in January with Coleman, Young etc looking completely lost?Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:46 pmI'm not sure we're going to get very far with this one - that midfield would see you relegated.
Thompson, Ogie, Smith and Ruel (and Wood if things were different) are all 1st team standard, the others not so.
The entire team were lost last january . Only a Philestine would blame the midfield .gshaw wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 5:57 pmAgree with the Plumber here, have people forgotten the midfield we were fielding back in January with Coleman, Young etc looking completely lost?Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 12:46 pmI'm not sure we're going to get very far with this one - that midfield would see you relegated.

As Wellens said players like Young and Obieiro aren't anywhere near ready yet. That's the biggest difference this season so far squad wise - sending the inexperienced youth out on loan and swiftly dispensing with the notion that they're first team squad ready options. Fine for the PJ Cup and giving that competition the (lack of) respect it deserves.
The midfield options just weren't up to it, you lose that area you lose the game. There's a good reason Coleman and Young are nowhere near the squad this season.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 1:35 pmThe entire team were lost last january .

You know as well as I do if you lose the middle of the park it puts more pressure on the defence. Similarly if you can't win or keep the ball you can't get it to the attackers to score.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 6:17 pmWe stopped scoring goals
& were conceding goals .
Nowt to do with the middle bjt
