Quote: ninearches "Well said Charlie ! I do wonder if the somewhat sporadic inclusion of some of the younger players in games has not been all that beneficial either. They must have known that even a superstar performance would not have stopped them being replaced the following week by an old stager .'"
I agree with you and Chaz, if nothing else this season we need to find out for sure who is going to cut the mustard. The inclusion of a Dwyer, an Evans or a GOB can no longer be seen by some as TS not taking the comp seriously?
We've all heard about our junior prospects and the clubs' drive for sustainability a 'pipeline of talent' if you like? Well in my view there's a problem with a pipeline that gets blocked at the end and if we don't use it properly then we will miss out as talent surfaces elsewhere and kids are possibly reluctant to come in the first place if chances appear limited
