Our youngsters today

[Silent Blade]

Most were impressive. Wilder will have to decide which youngsters will be allowed to go on loan or keep them as squad players.

The new owners will also have a say on the structure as well you'd imagine.

It's a relief to see that Peck is properly back in the fold

 

[bertieblade]

Anyone any ideas of the length of Pecks contract?

 

[Rodley]

Anyone any ideas of the length of Pecks contract?

Out of contract next summer*




























Not certain, but knowing our squad management it’s more than likely….

 

[Varkanoid]

Still a long way to go and Brooks looked great so I can see him keeping his place with Arblaster. Being positive and looking forward to the season as though the last didnt happen. Its all you can do despite the negative norman's on here trying to bring over the grey clouds. We have no idea whats happening with the club 400+ mega thread tells you this just looking forward to PNE first match and a glimmers of a squad starting to form before we get there.

People play better in the last year of their contracts.

When they sign for someone else?

Seriki supporting Brooks down the right was a great combination. Seriki has loads of good attributes. He can switch off on occasions and while he's a good one on one defender he also needs to work on his defensive positioning.

Hi Stegosaurus here

Shame we'll let them go for two bob when a big team comes sniffing. Pointless having an academy if we're going to let them go for a handful of peanuts thrown our way whilst Spurs, Everton, Villa or whoever get a player whose worth 20 million+ a few years down the line.

 

[HarryHaslam]

We really do have some quality youngsters, even the group under the ones who made the squad today. It will be interesting to see how Havenhand is after his serious injury because I’d expect come the second half of the season we will be seeing him in and around the squad.

 

[loyalblade95]

Expected to be in the squad: Osula, Brooks, Curtis, Arblaster.

Potentially in the squad: Sasnauskas, Peck, Seriki.

Hopefully out on loan: Faxon, Freckleton, Òne, Marsh (if not around the squad), Hampson, Blacker, Easton.

Bore off,fucking boring bore.

Bore off,fucking boring bore.

And take that other boring bastard Jim McDonald with you,back to scrubbersville aka Hillsboro. Pair of gobshite tramps.

 

[Houston_Blade]

My hope is that we have enough fit first teamers to allow the youngsters the opportunity to gain experience elsewhere.

Osula has suffered from the lack of bodies the last couple of seasons and Jebbison was another. Brooks would have benefitted from a similar loan spell to Arblaster in my opinion but he’s had to stay around and get his arse handed to him for a season instead.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Given the amount of players we’ve let go… I imagine most if not all will HAVE to be kept around

We were down like 13/14 players from last season (more if you include the 100% likely departures of bogle/souza//grbic). We’ve signed 4

I Can’t see us bringing about 10+ more that we need in. A chunk of these lads will be needed to even field an 11 aside training game

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Expected to be in the squad: Osula, Brooks, Curtis, Arblaster.

Potentially in the squad: Sasnauskas, Peck, Seriki.

Hopefully out on loan: Faxon, Freckleton, Òne, Marsh (if not around the squad), Hampson, Blacker, Easton.

Sas is good but only 17, though that's what age Maguire was when he made his debut. He's good but not Championship standard yet. Peck also isn't Championship standard yet and neither is Marsh, who was the stand out player last season.

Most will need a loan unless they really step up in pre-season and in any chances they're given early doors.

They did well today, albeit against League Two opponents, which is still good as our current academy level is around National League standard.

One and Marsh could do with League One loans, for me Marsh until Christmas and One for the season.

Tivan is another quality player coming through and for me he's got more potential than Freckleton and Sas.

 

[Blade58]

We don’t want all our youngsters putting in sterling performances. Our owner might take the approach we don’t need to make any more signings

 

[Weasel]

And take that other boring bastard Jim McDonald with you,back to scrubbersville aka Hillsboro. Pair of gobshite tramps.

Harsh. But very fair.

 

[moody1889]

Bore off,fucking boring bore.

Truth hurts then because that is exactly what this club does because there is zero ambition

 

[EddieColquhoun]

I’m guessing you mean Levis Pitan. He’s behind both of them currently despite being 2 years older than Dovy.

 

[Barry Butlin]

Was impressed with Sasnauskas today, looks a great strong athlete, kept a good position at right centre half, only 17, looks like we’ve got another good young un coming through..

What new owners?

Agree with this, though I’d definitely have Sasnauskas in and around the team. Every game he’s played so far he’s looked competent with the ball in his feet, passing is excellent and he doesn’t panic when being chased down. Maybe stick him in and around and play him during cup matches.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

What new owners?

Theres some American on twitter, think you need to like and subscribe or something

 

[Carlton Blade]

Harsh. But very fair.

Is it harsh?

 

[Slim Man]

On more than one count.

Sorry, I’ll show myself the door…

I’ll review in a few weeks time,obviously you haven’t enjoyed the past 7/8 years with premiership football,excellent football for prolonged periods,normal up and downs of a Blade. Cheer up ffs.

 

[jt64]

My hope is that we have enough fit first teamers to allow the youngsters the opportunity to gain experience elsewhere.

My hope is pretty much the polar opposite, and that we don't bring in roster cloggers to delay their development at the level that we want them to play at

How can you enjoy it as much as you should when you know you have short sighted and incompetent owners in charge.
