Why do companies ever bother taking on people who are good at their job and hold years of experience when they could just take anyone off the street?
Surprised you're serious with this. Experienced players will guide the young players through the game. Helping them with their positioning and encouraging the lads throughout the game. Experienced heads also know how to win games and close them out. Experience itself makes you a better player. Just play kids and you'll end up getting smashed from teams around you. Just like what happened to us last season.
Yes, when we brought on experienced players in place of some of the youngsters. When we played mainly youth we were getting twatted.
When Doyle and Neil were dropped for more experienced players when AN came in and didn’t play another game all season?
I can't think of any good young holding midfielders, certainly not affordable ones. It just seems to be a position that requires a lot of experience. Given that Evans is already on 3 yellows and Neil tires around 75 minutes I would be very happy with 2 experienced centre mids. With 5 subs teams with big squads can go the full 90 at top speed.
So me putting my opinion across that I don’t think experienced players necessarily means them being good players is me on the wind up? Is a message board not about having different opinions and then being able to defend them? Sorry for having a different opinion to you I bow to your superior knowledge
Ryan Ledson at Preston is the only guy that jumps out at me for that role. Mid 20's but a strong lad and tidy on the ball.
This "let's just enjoy a few seasons in the Championship and at least we're not in League 1" didn't last long.
This is the boy id go for, pretty sure hes out of contract at the end of the season as well so might be available for a low fee
If anything happens to Evans we will have young center midfielders with very little experience. Not for me.
