[QUOTE=LlayDragon;2072389]This also links in with not having a reserves team; which means we have no bridge between the youth and first team. Also players coming back from injury have no way of building fitness in a match situation.

Surely we should at least be arranging regular friendlies against other club's reserve teams?[/QUOTE]

We don't have any reserve players though. Not like in the olden days when Morrell and Jake Edwards were knocking them in on a Thursday afternoon!

Bircham and Horne went soon after Mills which was kind of carrying the can I thought.

The players on the bench are a start. Even though our squad is small we have players not getting games. In-fill with players from the youth team.

It also gives Keates the option of being able to see any trialists in match situations throughout the season.

LD I agree I've mentioned on a few threads that getting rid of the reserve side is a backwards step for the same reasons in your post. Little did it & it was one of the first things Saunders put right reinstating it. At least Little arranged friendlies I suppose.
The club on the field remains stagnant despite build the budget.

Hmmmn. Maybe but that wasn't the reason given.

Keats has done good things, 1 We are hard to beat, and well organised. And normally are play pretty well. However, Sat was a mistake. We need our best team against the teams who play negative football. Also if players do well and improve, they should be kept in the 1st 11.
