Sess was in the squad already. O'Reilly and Elliot over Reed and Cairney I don't think is debatable. Any of Biereth, Dembele and Stansfield would easily replace Vini. Carvalho, Roberts or Stansfield over a perma-injured and on loan Nelson is obvious too. Spence over either Castagne or Tete. So 6 positions would have been improved. Besides all would have been very PSR-valuable if/when "eased out". The key is "if we were able to keep them". We won't ever keep anyone if we never give kids a chance. -- SW6.doc

In reply to: f bloke 's message, "Again I guess it is a matter of opinion- I don’t agree that most of the players you listed would be better than we had last season. I agree that 4/5 would be useful squad additions if we were able to keep them - which we weren’t- but we need to buy in better than we have in certain positions and most of those you mentioned would need to be eased out to make room for those coming in" on Tuesday, July 01, 08:35:41pm

We gave Sess Dem Fab and HE games. We could have given Robert more minutes but Symons preferred Kavnagh. MOR can feel harsh treated in that SP preferred Arter altho could argue he was too similar in style t TC and not as good as TC then and possibly now. Sess, Dem Elliot and Fab chose to leave although they had game time. Biereth likeOsmand chose to leave at u 18 level. We let Spence go for off field reasons so, for the most part, if they have been good enough they have got minutes (NT) -- f bloke, Tuesday, July 01, 10:39:29pm (NoHost/2.216.25.231)
- I agree we used to. And as a result we were positioned to cash in on the likes of Sess and Carvalho. But since promotion, there seems to be little to no space. We need to show that there is an avenue to games otherwise there's no hope we keep players and we'll lose more at 18 or so. Not advocating 38 starts a year. But if we're talking extending a 5th man, 34 year old to fill an occasional slot, I think that's a mistake. (NT) -- eganonoa, Wednesday, July 02, 11:16:01am (NoHost/217.75.196.3)
  - I don’t disagree but the kids need to convince the manager they are worthy starters now and justify a start over current first teamers. Both JK and Godo have had minutes and Figs may got some if he was fit. Stansfield would have done if he hadn’t engineered a move. Not sure who else is knocking on the door. Don’t think it is as bad as many believe (NT) -- f bloke, Wednesday, July 02, 12:04:26pm (NoHost/2.216.25.231)
