    I'm going to make an effort to see the "big picture" or the "plan" if such a thing exists. So if anyone can help:-

    Digby - is he injured? He played against higher opposition last week but didn't feature yesterday.
    Bree - where's he gone?
    Abbott - why has he gone out on loan? I know the obvious is to blood him but he looks more ready for first team football than Smith at the moment.
    Rose - why did we get shut but bring in some older and shitter in Hemmings?
    RNL - why did Wilson not give him a real opportunity?

    If the plan is to develop our own players surely these players should have been given more opportunity?

    Bree's got a back problem, not quite sure that Abbott is ready for the first team yet. Agree that Digby should have played yesterday and I'd say that Rose and RNL are victims of previous managers not giving youth a chance.

    I agree about Danny Rose, he wasn't given a chance and he certainly wasn't any worse than a lot of what we have now.

    Played the last couple of games, was surprised to see neither him or Scowen involved yesterday.



    Injured. Doubt we'll see much of him this season now. Only 17 remember.




    Down the pecking order. Better to get him some competitive football rather than stagnate in the 21's who play few games.




    Not set L2 alight really, but I'd have retained him over Hemmings and Lita in hindsight.




    Danny obviously didn't rate him. Been stagnating here for years, better the lad goes somewhere he's wanted and where he's involved more often.
