Quote: hezza1969 "I think your first choice 17 are SL quality, unfortunately as we at Rovers found last season if your first choice is not out there then SL will be a struggle.
I hate the qualifiers and the potential impact it can have on a club. If you are unfortunate enough to go down I hope your club and supporters respond in the same way we did.'"
Thanks for those kind words Hezza, unfortunately that is how the cookie crumbles, I am a very very big advocate of compulsory "A" teams, I know 4 teams have to finish in the bottom 4 spots but do you not agree that SL clubs would be much better prepared to cope in the qualifiers with 'first choice absentees' if they had a second stream working, training, playing and being integrated into the fist team throughout the season?
