Reserve Team

[TW1Bee]

Can't help thinking that the reserve team this year has been a complete waste of time considering the amount of games they've played. Tomorrows game at Aldershot has been called off again, when was the last time they had a game and that in spite of the bad weather.

was thinking that they never seem to play? how can fringe players build up match fitness never getting a game anywhere?

I think a manager more willing to use his fringe players and use reserve games to expriment and generally open minded would mean a reserve team is a good idea, however the way things are, what's the point?

I think that's why we've sent players out on loan...

Is Andy Scott getting the blame for the bad weather affecting reserve games now ?

 

[Bigbee]

are fringe players ones with hair falling just above their eyebrows ?

Of course he is.

Of course he is.

I was hoping to attend this match being a couple of miles down the road (plus an excuse for a lunchtime pint in the pub opposite).
A check on the Aldershot site stated the postponement was due to our long injury list.

So Andy Scott is the one injuring our players ?

Is the rest of the paper up to this high standard?

I dunno, I ain't physic.

Makes sense to postpone it on that basis. As we only had 6 subs on Saturday, 2 of whom (Pim and Spillane) presumably weren't fit, one was a youngster who hasn't played a league game, and another a semi-retired keeper, we couldn't afford more injuries
