Am i the only one who thinks not having a reserve team harms our 1st team?
for me, it doesn't give the management proper insight on new players.. players returning from fitness etc etc etc to see what kind of match fitness they may have and what their form may be like
the fact how many players Hughes is bringing in and out the team rotating it so much shows this, as he doesn't seem to have a clue what his best 11 is. where as reserve team matches although will have a higher expenditure. would allow players to have and keep some kinda match fitness/sharpness and also in turn give the manager a more in-depth insight into how the player is performing in a game environment as opposed to just training and training ground matches
wether other teams have or dont have a reserve team is not the point before anybody mentions it.. im trying to put that a reserve team would give us better insight into player form and performances levels.
