Someone touched on it re the senior cup
Assuming GJ has his 11 plus 5 or 6, and we have 20+ players ( after 3 or 4 go out on loan, will there be a series of training matches/ reserves /bounce matches home ( seasons) and away throught the season to allow those on the fringes to maintain a reasonable level of fitness and perhaps more importantly to allow injured players or those suffering loss of form to recover and demonstrate that they should be back in the 1st team
Last seasons matches at season were occassional and it was perhaps down to management changes etc that matches were not played, and the majority of the players did not look like they wanted to be earning a place in the 1st team
Perhaps this could be asked as a question of PB or GJ or RM
