[list[/listBroadbent pick of the young ones for mine

Really enjoyable game , i thought the scoreline flattered Wire tbh & Kendall bottled the Red Card.
Once again the youngsters proved that they should get more gametime in amongst our best 17 rather than wasting money on olayers like L.Briscoe Evans Ferres etc.
I dont think Walker did enough for a CC final spot but id include Holroyd & Cam Smith.

I think the club has players like Ferres around to look after the young side in this midweek type fixtures - you need some size, muscle and experience sprinkled amongst, otherwise they would just get run over and lose confidence - it's a fine line. The balance has been pretty good as shown by performances.

Yep, Ferres played in the middle last night and played 80 minutes enabling the younger middles to be spelled.

Fantastic performance last night from the young ones, nothing but praise for them. The question now is can we keep them happy until they progress to the first team. As players retire or end up out of contract we need to show these lads there is a path to the first team, result here is irrelevant, you cannot buy the experience they got last night, and well done to both Ferres and Cuthbo, both played their part in helping the kids. I would not be surprised if in the next three years At least half of that team will be first team squad players.
I think the young Jack Walker will miss out this weekend, simply since his injury he has not yet got back to his best, hopefully the club will handle him well. Certainly the future looks a lot more rosier for the team after the last couple of years

Well, we lost Gale because we had Burrow and McGuire at the time - was the right call (for both parties), it happens.

2021 would have been the start of our push for top. We need just one or two stars in there to light the side up but I don’t know if the club can afford/justify it now in the circumstances. Sounds like a couple are lined up for loan deals next year anyway.
