    2 wins and 2 defeats, the thing is the two wins we have won by the odd goal and the 2 defeats we have scored 0 and conceeded 11, thats what tells me that we have a clueless manager, i hated him before he came here and now i hate him even more!!
    Yes he has addressed the defensive problem, he brought in a crock that has only played once in 30 years and Orr hardly set the world alight today!!

    Point taken bud, you are one of the last i want to argue with and i agree that Henderson shouldn't be here!! i would honestly rather see the whole under 16 team out there than the current crop of overpaid ****ers!!

    We have far tooooo many loanees and that is one of the major problems, whats worrying is that MM has said he wants to bring more in FFS, just blood in some of the youngsters ready for next season in Div1. people like Winter,October,Marriot and Lawrence cant be any worse than the current ****e, i bet had a few of them been playing today we wouldn't have done any worse!!

    Very very harsh to put in acadamy players in a potentially poisionous atmosphere and destroy all their confidence before their career has started. Also our reserve level is a joke, we play against the likes of Stevenage reserves, which with all due respect is a million miles away from a championship level game. A few could be included in the squad, those that have been close for the last season or two but I would hate to see us blood unready youngster just to prove a point.

    I think the point Spanish is trying to make is that our current crop of loanees really don't give a toss and we could see the same scoreline by playing the youngsters. Difference being that we would be educating our youngsters instead of giving a bunch of mercenaries their appearance fees (which few of them actually earn)

    TB, do you think the younger players would take a lot of flak from supporters or do you think they would be supported more if they showed a certain level of desire, regardless of quality?

    Would you like to change your prediction?

    Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    Is it really -25 down in Ipswich?

    I think throwing academy players in to what is a relegation battle is a very risky thing to do. I don't think the crowd would get on individual's backs but if we were playing a home game against one of the teams in & around us & started losing heavily (like the Sheff Wed game recently). i do believe the chant of "You're not fit to wear the shirt" would start.
    I do think MM needs to send some of the loan players back (i know he has already sent Luongo back to Spurs but I think there are more who are not really interested in playing for the team)

    Thought it was strange to send Luongo back, from what I heard he tried really hard for the team. Guess he wasn't old enough for Mick's strategy of using tried and tested players to pull us up out of the mire. Of course I wouldn't really throw all the kids in but I do feel sometimes as if they couldn't do any worse.
