I dont know if it was a cist cutting exercise not to have a reserve team
Last season we had 18 or so 1st team players
After last night where do these players get fitness
Where do they get to learn formation
There are some who need to learn that hard work goes a long way
Sometimes the reserve team is known as the bomb squad
Well last night it blew up
Reserves

Tosh. Just score more and concede less.
We can ignore your response RCS
You were not there and as you said somewhere else you were not worried
So how do the 6 - 11 players not playing get experience fitness chance to improve
10 new players - where is the passion
Ferry must be wondering what he let himself in for

I know its a cost thing but its a big problem that a big part of our squad get little or no competitive football for weeks on end and are then expected to perform when thrown in. Nights like last night prove that doesnt work.
I dont know the answer but maybe having an Academy u21 team that can have senior players play like in the Premier League competition? Or maybe set up a local competition against the likes of Oxford, Swindon, Gloucester, Kiddie etc.?

If nights last night prove it doesn’t work does two record breaking seasons in a row prove it does?Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 08:57 I know its a cost thing but its a big problem that a big part of our squad get little or no competitive football for weeks on end and are then expected to perform when thrown in.

Yes that is true and last night will (hopefully!) be an exception by changing 8 players at once but the fact remains our starting 11 pretty much picks itself at the moment so that means a good number of players will be seriously undercooked when called upon.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:If nights last night prove it doesn’t work does two record breaking seasons in a row prove it does?Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 08:57 I know its a cost thing but its a big problem that a big part of our squad get little or no competitive football for weeks on end and are then expected to perform when thrown in.

Just because we have had 3 fantastic seasons on the trot doesnt mean we stop looking for ways to improve.

That last point is a very good one. We do always need to look for ways to improve. And that improvement is what I am hoping to see this season. It’s the 10th August, two league games gone, transfer window not even closed, so I am going to give the new set up some more time yet to judge the direction of travel.Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 11:01Yes that is true and last night will (hopefully!) be an exception by changing 8 players at once but the fact remains our starting 11 pretty much picks itself at the moment so that means a good number of players will be seriously undercooked when called upon.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:If nights last night prove it doesn’t work does two record breaking seasons in a row prove it does?Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 08:57 I know its a cost thing but its a big problem that a big part of our squad get little or no competitive football for weeks on end and are then expected to perform when thrown in.
