No, not how many goals we concede in certain areas, but for me, It’s the only way I can see us actually being stable enough to get anything out of games and stop the tsunami at the back (I thought leaky defence was too kind!)

I know being defensive is a step backwards and not within the remit of what the owners want. But, ask the 7000 there yesterday if a draw would’ve been better than a 5-1 hiding. The question is if the players have the ability, nouse or scruples to actually get anything from the 90 minutes.

Woods does a great job and if not for tragically losing a player would be doing even better. Millwall got beat by Chelsea in Semi Final of FA Youth Cup and anybody who watches the youth team know they didn’t turn up and hadn’t played for almost 3 weeks due to the loss of Cam. They were 15 unbeaten up to that point and bounced back to beat Shrewsbury in the cup and are due to play Mansfield in the Semi Final.
The youth team is around 50/50 split of 1st yrs U17 & 2nd years U18 so a young squad as many clubs operate a U17 & U18s and some have an U21s even at CAT 3. We don’t so what Woods & Lester have got out of the youth team is good when some games their playing against majority U18 players plus against 3 U19 pros which is allowed for league games, we only have one U19 at the club. So 50% of our youth team are most games playing a year older and 2 years older against 3 players. For some players this is great as progress quickly but for some it’s very difficult but this will only make them stronger next season. The youth coaches can also only mention certain players doing well whether the 1st team actually agree and blood them is another matter as both looking from different perspectives one seeing potential and with regularly training and being eased into 1st team squad have a chance but the 1st team look at can they afford to leave the player with 20+ league games off the bench for the youth player. With us struggling doesn’t help as they won’t take the chance as there jobs are on the line but hopefully we can get safe with a few games to go and they can see how some of the lads do in the last few games.
I can’t really see what more Woods can do as limited and attracting the better players to join as scholars isn’t the easiest when the club isn’t doing great.
