HarryBosch Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Jacobs gone today. Bove and Tuohy out on loan again. Coleman benched. Winchester hardly playing. All of the defenders we're told have promise have been overlooked in favour of loanees. There were rumours that Darren Kelly wanted rid of Tony Philliskirk and now Dunn isn't using any of his Youth team products.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see Cornell dropped on Saturday. But yes, I can't say I'm pleased to see five loanees in the first team in October, especially when injuries are not a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Ricky On The Left Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Plot twist The youth of the club are no where near good enough for the first team and have been allowed to coast on a wage for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Did we actually offer Jacobs a contract? Or is it just a case of his youth deal coming to an end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If they free up a wage for Higdon it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i have seen of Jacobs he looks a very tidy player, i think we are crackers to let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Jacobs never had a deal anyway did he? Wasn't he just training and seeing if he could earn one? Bove and Tuohy for me aren't league 1 players but that's just my opinion. Not enough about them skill and ability wise to compensate for their size! Hope I'm wrong though. Releasing/loaning all these won't save much money they'll be on peanuts will be helping them out getting games and getting into the shop window!

WhitworthBlue Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Think you will find as well that the first team squad is just too big currently. Don't forget you have to organise and train them all in the one group every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why see negatives? They're either no good or no good yet so Dunn is loaning them out to improve them or put them in the shop window. Just because they're our youth players doesn't mean they're first team quality and sentiment gets you nowhere. If we unearth quality then I have no doubt Dunn will play them in our first team squad. Dunn needs to get results and soon to cement his role permanently and put him in the shop window at a higher level. If that means strengthening on loans that disappear next season but gets us promotion then I don't care. It would be great if we achieved success via our youth team but I'm unwilling to spend months or years nurturing them in our first team and struggle at the bottom of our league/League 2 to then benefit in two or three seasons. My patience has disappeared.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 There is only Coleman who is good enough to play, hopefully soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 For me, it is giving them game time, and toughening them up Till he releases them. For me, it is about checking up on them thogoughly whilst they play elsewhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Danny Byrnes is still here, problem is no games to play him now there's no reserve league. Edited October 5, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1laticsfan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Coleman should be back in goal. If anything he is better than cornell. Winchester is the other he is messing up with. Apart from that I don't think they are good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that I don't think they are good enough Agree about Coleman and the others, not totally sure about Winchester. He was the most entertaining player to watch last year and is definitely gifted, but is a bit of a luxury in a team that wants to grind out results. Fulton sounds like he's done well and Kelly and Jones are currently better than Winiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoafc Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We keep bringing in these young defenders, but I'd like a closer look at edmondson, I thought he looked like he had something about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Nice of bove and tuohy to be loaned out to bottom of the league who have not won a game all season Surely we loan them out to whoever wants them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Surely we loan them out to whoever wants them? Bove will gain as much as he did at Hyde - zilch. For what its worth my view is we are reaping what we sowed in getting rid of any kind of reserve team, the gap between youth and first team football is huge, where are these youngsters supposed to develop? If you spend so much on youth development its important they are given a platform to make the transition, reserve team football would offer this. It would also be beneficial to players like Coleman and Winchester whose confidence may well be down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC33 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wasn't it mentioned recently that games were to be arranged to assess Fuller and Brandy - if this is the case it's beyond me why they can't be arranged on a regular basis for players we already have on the books. Surely between 2 1st team coaches and Tony P arrangements could be made on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluear Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We keep bringing in these young defenders, but I'd like a closer look at edmondson, I thought he looked like he had something about him.

Hands on Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We have a history of producing strikers who don't make it and the combination that now might propel us up the league is a signing and a loan player with another signing, if he ever returns to fitness, in due course. Without reserve team football we have to send those we are not using out on loan or release them. I can't argue with anything Dunn has done so far and if we are in striking distance of the play offs by Christmas we should all be happy.

Forte_Baby Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hate to say it but don't think Bove will be here end of season. At the sametime rather if we do loan players out no lower than Conference North/South level. Suppose at Ramsbottom them being a mess there both got a chance to make there mark.
