    No bright spots for me Im afraid. I've seen better than this lot in my local Sunday League. None of them had the slightest idea about positional play.

    The system used was flawed because, imo, Jarvis and Downing are not good defensively. In fact Jarvis is just not good, period. Playing with a back 3 requires your wide midfielders to do a lot of donkey work in defence.

    I actually thought young Driver, particularly, showed good awareness considering he was also required to do most of the work Jarvis should have been responsible for.

    But it's all about opinions.

    I'd rather see the system they use in Spain where "B" teams compete against first teams of the lower clubs. Apparently a number of clubs, including us, have floated this idea to the footballing authorities.

    That system hasn't done Barcelona too much harm with their development of young players has it? And the smaller clubs in Spain haven't gone to the wall as a result.

    not to be harsh but all yesterday proved to me was we have maybe 2 players that just might step up from our B team and thats not good enough and that cannot be pinned to BFS (no a supporter of BFS just being honest)

    so when we all shout and that include me.. why dint the useless DFS try the younsters in the prem we have the answer

    just hope we get some players in sharpish as that could stop us dropping..weds night will not be good viewing


    WHU f uck the rest

    "I have also sung Seb Lletget's praise."

    Is that the one that goes 'Lletget's Ready to Rumble'?

    For me I thought Whitehead had quite good technique, I would certainly like to see how he performs next to Noble, Diame & Morrison with a good defence behind him.


    As I said on the other thread Lee, Chambers & Turgott should have been the youngsters parachuted in.
    I was at the game and I agree with this. I thought Whitehead looked quite composed on the ball and could pass it.

    I DID like Driver as well but Whitehead was the pick for me.

    Maiga was/is/and has always been ****. The kids getting knocked off the ball by physically stronger players I could handle but Maiga played like he was about 10.
