Went to watch the academy at the ricoh today. In my opinion we should stick some of these youngsters in at the deep end as I think the play offs are out of reach .I'm not a fan of the loan signings just paperin over the cracks. They won't be here next year. Need to build for next year and use the remaining games to see who's good enough. Thoughts?
<br />did ricky fletcher play
<br />
<br />
No he didn't , Dunn , Clarke , Henderson , Willis,Ruffels, Thomas,Bell, Fleck,Wilson,Jeffers,Philiskirk.
<br />Definitely a good time to give the promising ones a run out.
<br />not much academy there just coventry city reserves
<br />Would wait till it's pretty much mathematically impossible as while there is even the faintest hope you have to put out your strongest side.
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think so. Jordan Willis and Joe Henderson did well at the back. Both looked good on the ball and composed. Wilson was Lively up front as well.
<br />Didn't we lose 3-1?
<br />
<br />
Yeah, wouldn't say the result matters too much at that level would look at the performance of individuals more than that.
Was it not partly as a result of pushing the youth team in "at the deep end" that got us into League 1?
I'm very pro-loan signings, a full contract means very little today! A Loanee will work his balls off to play and if he drops that standard can be sent back.
<br />Especialy when its dunn in goal

<br />
<br />I get what you are saying but by the same token, take Sammy Clingan for example had a deal with us... In comes Olly Norwood - who was better for the team? who actually worked? and where are they now? <br />
<br />
As I said previous i'd happily see Cov become a finishing school for young talented players if for nothing else it means we get to talk about new signings every week, at a fraction of the cost! What is loyalty these days anyway!
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<br />Didn't even know you could watch the academy players at the Ricoh. <br />
<br />
Out of interest when is their next game at the Ricoh?

<br />Hmm, not sure, not at this stage, well, maybe 2 or 3 on the bench or something. Thomas NEEDS to start and atm, it's a disgrace he isn't starting.<br />
<br />
Who was you impressed with Deano? Lobjoit, Willis, Garner by any chance?
