This issue is some of the stuff that keeps coming up doesn't seem founded in reality

For example one that does the rounds on here and I've certainly seen on r/coys is Ange doesn't develop youth, as if Mikey Moore isn't in the team often enough or the reason our U21s' form is wobbly this season is entirely because a chunk of last season's team is getting regular minutes on loan entirely so they do develop, which was Harry Redknapp's approach to developing youngsters yet nobody claimed he was getting in the way of Kane, Townsend, Caulker et al

That might be why you’re annoyed at seeing the same things, if you go on Reddit and then here you will probably see stuff repeated which is to be expected.

I don’t really use other sites other than this one so I don’t get the same repetition.

It does bear mentioning that Mikey was our best player against Alkmaar in the group stage but didn't get a minute on Thurs.

Similarly Scarlett got a goal and assist against Elfsborg and an assist against Ipswich, then disappears from view.

Udogie dropped is a good move.

He's had a really underwhelming season, hasn't kicked on at all from last year's promise.

Something I and I think PNP has also mentioned a few times is that I don’t think at any point during this season he’s been fully fit.

I think I mentioned to Hudd on the opening day that I was amazed he was starting because he’d only played 45 mins in pre-season after having been out for about 2-3 months. Since then it’s felt like he’s been trying to play catch-up along with suffering another injury and his form has resembled that of a player nowhere near 100%.

Just one of many players this club’s messed about with over the last 18+ months.

Have to wonder if Bergvall's fitness is playing up or if he's merely knackered, given how sloppy he's been playing in the last 2-3 games

Yeah bizarre not to give Mikey any minutes and I’ve not seen anything from Tel to justify him being ahead of Mikey

Ben Davies is many things, but he's a poor fit for the way Ange wants to play. It's just as well that Spence has developed as he has and can play so well on the left. Without him, we'd be in an even worse mess.

Not having Danso, or an equivalent, at the start of this season has robbed us of Romero and VdV for far too long. That's kicked into Gray's development, as did playing him at left back. He got game time, but at what cost to the team?

Yet, every season there are identifiable, significant holes on the squad...often for multiple seasons. It's amateur.
