Radford (and the rest of the backroom staff) have proven that a squad is important. I think there's more to the Houghton situation than being told, hope I am wrong.

No there isn't. He was in the supporters bar last week and was fine. Said it was more his own confidence that he'd healed properly than the club. I'd rather he sits out matches now than risk losing him for the rest of the season

You Are !

What are the hidden Houghton issues you are alluding to? Not heard anything so interested in the detail.

I think he is going to Leeds

so impressed with the players that have come in, Turgut, Fash, Downs have really stood up. Fash has the look of Moa. We have strength in depth which bodes well for the end of the season.

Really like fash. Might be short but it's all about how you use your build . Rather have a short aggressive prop who runs his weight than a Dane Tilse type pudding

Outstanding stats from Fash, someone said I was talking nonense when I said I've seen more from Fash this season then I've seen from Thompson this season and last, just compare the stats for this week. Probably in a 3rd of the salary as well.

Great to see these lads coming through it takes time and they can't just been thrown in until they are ready like some want, Radford is handling them really well.

the beauty of the youth system is that you can never be quite sure which players will make the grade. early guns like the wilsons and to some extent reece dean have fallen short at FC whilst downs and fash seem to have some of that late development typical of a young player. just goes to show that a player at say 16 or 17 can be vastly different to one at 21 both positively or in the negative.
