Ginny we are a shocking side what more worse could happen by giving these young un's a go, not a fooking stupid idea at all as you quoted, anythings got to be better than the shite thats getting fielded week in week out and a huge losing streak surely? Open your eyes pal there is more to being a safe player pal. Its not been tested so your guess is as good as mine if it'll work or not?


I know we are a shocking side. I watch the same as everyone else, but to think that a bunch of untried, untested and inexperienced youth players is the answer is just wishful thinking and clutching at straws. I've have opened my eyes and i have seen these players in the reserves. They would get eaten alive in a league 2 game and that's not guessing.

Vernam should be back in some capacity next season, Wilks is very promising, Jackson too while Clifton is making a claim for regular play. That's not a bad exercise in youth development when you consider these lads have been brought in recently smack in the middle of the biggest crisis in our history.  I don't see any of the other untested youths being ready for the responsibility of saving the clubs future, or see why they should be caught up in the blame.

I'd like to see us attempt to hang on to all those loanees mentioned as well as Jaiyesimi, let's just be grateful for now that have a manager prepared to bring them on at a steady sensible pace.

I witnessed a young Town side ripped apart by the "mighty" Boston United back in July in the Lincolnshire FA County Senior Cup. Losing 3-0 and that score flattered our lads, could easily have been 7 or 8 nil. There's a massive step up to league football for these young lads.

The saying if they are good enough they are old enough.

Not sure how many of our youngsters are good enough but I would argue given the results they could not do much worse? MJ should have sat down by now or watched games and got opinions from Woods,Warrington,Moore,Wilko on his full squad.The first positive step was playing Clifton and getting Cardwell back in the squad not because they are Messi and Ronaldo but because they are better than what we had there. I am astounded at the game time afforded to Clarke it`s not all his fault but to me he isn`t playing well at all his confidence is non existant and the kid from Villa would start for me in his place.Likewise in midfield with Berrett but at least with him I see effort.Town`s best 11 players available would stay up constantly picking dross that`s out of form because once upon a time they could play will relegate us.

Yes, it was originally about the youths on loan but excluded Clifton which wasn't right as he's done superbly, so it ended up an all-encompassing collection of youth, loanees and signed players but all with the common factor of being outside of the team during this recent woeful run (though DJ has had a few run outs).

In essence I think we have more than enough youth in there without chucking the others in just yet.

No problem. It's a right mixed bag we have regarding the loans and youth tbf. Our midfielder loaned out to a relegation favourite who now sit above us, our 3 incoming loan strikers all injured at the same time, our reserve keeper injured, our one (so far) promising product from the youth team finally getting a run out after being blanked for over half the season...it's almost like some great bald dribbling lunatic took the club hostage and proceeded to break everything he could.

Just leave me out of this FFS  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
