Good player by all accounts
Yeah it started when we signed Stuart Pearce from Wealdstone. I mean signing players from non league the very thought tut!
John Tudor you mean ? Now there was a player, signed by JH from what was then proper non-league more or less put straight into first team and was soon a major player in a top team on its way to the top division, no getting match fit bollox, no playing a dozen reserve games first or getting 5 minutes here and there but then we are talking a proper manager.Agree with the sentiment, disgraceful!
We actually started on this shameful path much earlier than that when we signed a striker from Ilkeston.

Not sure if he played the in the u23 game last night against Leeds?
McBean played but didn't score.
Jordan Pontecelli scored. Hot prospect.
Neither McBean or Smith played last night.
I don't think they could play as it was a league game and not a friendly and they are still classed as trialists.[/QUOTE][Qdon't="Bucks Blue, post: 1142915, member: 2277"]Neither McBean or Smith played last night.
Mowbray has confirmed neither Ojala nor Smith will be taken on
Shit, someone like Ojala could have been usefull.
We were crying out for defenders, we've signed one centre back (and Page) and now we're turning players away?
There is no way a player of that standard is not good enough for us. Without being over the top, something doesn't feel right...

Sounds like this could have been another Reda situation, I think TM has learnt his lessonShit, someone like Ojala could have been usefull.

He said he was coming back from injury.
It is all well and good saying things dont feel right, but we just signed a decent defender for a fee.
I'm sure you know better than TM ;-)
He's also very small. If he plays wing back I can see teams targeting balls over his head and down the channels.Referring to DKE makes me nervous. He's a kid, not ready to be a regular starter.

It's annoying because it feels like TM has been told "we haven't got much money so if you can't sign the players you want within our budget, you'll just have to pick kids". Depressing that we are having to rely on lads under 21 to pad out our first team squad.

I just think it's too soon. Our average age must be 23 in any given XI this season. I'd be a lot happier if we had a squad where the average age of our team would be more like 27/28, with pros in their prime not just kids starting out in the game (and as you say, we don't know if they'll make it yet, even).Yes but we are in League 1. So if they are any good with any chance of making it we should be able to blood them at this level. It would be much harder to expect them to step up if we were in the Premier League or Championship. Your youth has to be part of your squad at this level. This is when Stevenson, Lawton, Finch, G Thomas, DKE, Harries, Haynes find out whether they are good enough and get the opportunity to prove they are.
See above - there's one thing picking young players, but we're picking our development squad when we should be signing proven pros in the 25-30 age range. I'm sure other clubs don't have this. We mustn't pick teenagers, pick players in the prime and drip the kids in gradaully, not throw them in to sink or swim.Do you mean the same as every other football club?

Thought he was their best player but at the right level.Is starting today for boreham wood, at right wing back by the looks of it.
