    By only Naming 3 subs? "Oh look at how small our squad is"
    Surely they have a Youth Team and could have named some of those, a read that a 17 year old travelled with them, so why wasnt he named on Bench??

    of course, it was a message to them to let them loan players.

    Because the kid in question has a trial with Liverpool and Pompey rather sensibly probably didn't want to risk a saleable asset being injured......

    That isn't 'rather sensibly' at all. Sensible would have been naming him on the bench with no intention of bringing him on unless there was an absolute emergancy. PAYING to bring him to barnsley, PAYING to put him up in an hotel, PAYING to feed him and then not include him on the bench is NOT being sensible at all.

    Difficult to say what is or isn't sensible without knowing the managers thinking or any of the circumstances

    The circumstances are simple. They are in administration yet paid to bring a dugout full of staff and directors box full of directors to the game. They paid to bring an academy lad to the game and yet chose to name a three man bench instead of including him.

    None of that is sensible at all. Sensible would be bringing the minimum amount of staff possible and utilising whoever you bring.

    Then again a sensible club doesn't go into admin 3 times, back out of a CVA and sign millionaire players on big contracts that they could never afford.
