I wonder if DA could get his old job back as the what was it the Academy Manager? And allow KL to take over but then he too hasn't had any managerial experience and he is DA's sidekick and so should he share in any blame that is due? It's obvious Dave is suffering with the rest of the fans and have to feel for him but we also don't want him to crucify himself the whole time and we may not like this BUT....

Maybe and I said maybe, the truth is that some of our players are really not good enough for professional football and haven't been for sometime? I mean for the whole match without making ghastly mistakes which is the difference between success and failure? I suspect that it was always tough to expect young lads to come straight into the academy. I did hear the Vale Manager say on RS that it was easier for players to come in from Non League to L2 than coming from under 23 sides which I am assuming he meant academy players from other clubs being they don't have one now? ie loan players? It's so odd that we can be world beaters for 30 mins and then??????????

Of course that last paragraph is too hard to swallow for a board with the ethos on youth development and so not likely to change unless we are relegated and maybe not even then?

I hope DA can be found another role in the club as I don't think the board will want to sack him and indeed they may not and just allow him to continue as manager for at least three years, come what may??? It never made much sense to me to be spending such a large proportion of your income on what is a kids football academy at the expense of the whole reason we have been in existence for over 100 years...ie the FIRST team! No other club has ever done that to my knowledge even though it has been a success for a time...

The EEEP scheme could well be the nail in our coffin?
