Quote fc baldy="fc baldy"We know the season isnt over and Losing Ellis is a massive massive blow and we couldnt have foreseen the Seymour saga but we have lost 1 h/b for most likely the season and another 1 is having a lot of problems with his health then why havent we looked at a loan signing like we did last season and there are halfs available but we wouldnt know if we dont ask.As for Gentles selection today,im sorry but it smacks of desperation...he had no qualms about blooding youngsters last season in pressure matches so why not this year??????????????????'"
How do we know that we haven't enquired? Or maybe Gentle would rather not get a loan half in for what might only be one or two games? Holdsworth has been close to playing most games he's missed by all accounts, and this latest miss is supposed to be down to a bug rather than any lingering effect of his concussion.
I have no idea why Gentle hasn't played some more youngsters today, but if I had to guess based on his recent comments in the press it's most likely because he thinks we've got enough inexperienced players in the side already. Or maybe he just doesn't think that Shaul and Niklas are ready (in the first instance) or good enough (in the second).
I think the only thing Gentle is desperate about is having DJ on the pitch as it's clear that without him we have no brains out there.
