Reserve team

Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:23 pm

Does anyone on this board...maybe carl or Annis have any idea if the new owners or Dave Jones are ever going to reserect the reserve team.It seems we are one of the few clubs who dont bother with one,yet when our players need game time coming back from injury or when they come out of the academy they cant get a game.Maybe we could even hang on to some of our acadamy players who have not yet developed on low wages in this set up and see if they progress.seem such a waste to take them through our acadamy set up and then lose them at such an early age.Josh Magennis would maybe have been one such player who may have developed in a year or two.

Magennis problem was more mental than anything, believing he'd already made it. A reserve team wouldn't help there.

We do need a reserve league setup, but only if it provides decent enough quality.
