aye logically that would explain the delay as they are all playing pre season due to the euros


speakman has been here ages man

also the likes of dyce are nowhere near first team quality

signed to plug gaps at under 23 level
He has but he’s been appointed to put the structure and people in place not do their jobs. The people he appointed weren’t here for long before the end of the season.

I agree on dyce etc, I’m not expecting much from him. I’d just rather him than some 29+ year old on a decent wedge on a 2/3 year deal that acts as an anchor for the duration of their time here.
They had 2 lists prepared at the end of last season.

You are just making excuses for them
That’s your opinion. I don’t think any list that they hastily cobbled together a month before the end of the season is fair to judge them on personally.

maybe

just the thing on dyce k don’t think it’s relevant to tour point shout 28 year old etc which I agree with btw

he won’t play a league game this season in my view. We’d just play lads out of position instead.

You’re probably right. Same with younger (who is another that I don’t think will go far) last year. It’s crazy that we’d rather play a young lad like Dan Neil left back and hinder his development imo.

aye the younger one is strange on here, people seem to really rate him based on nothing. He has no long term future here, he is just serving a role, which I have no problem with.

aye I’d start Neil in centre mid, it’s very frustrating

Johnson will argue hes getting minutes and getting experience I guess
 
Just a point on both Speakman and Harvey neither have previous experience in there current roles at SAFC . Speakman was head of Academy at BCFC and Harvey was Head of Talent ID and player analysis at BRFC , i may be wrong but sure this was the case .

This is true. Kildare continually made this point before he disappeared. Something hasn’t got right, whether that’s down to external factors or our own problems. It’s unlikely we’ll find out so all we can do is judge them at the end of the window

Yes very true.
 

Can sense he's as frustrated as all of us.
Funny to revisit this a few weeks later. Several great prospects added to the squad, academy players reveling in the first team and top of league after a great start.

Looking forward to seeing if we can add a couple more.

Evans, arguably one of the more high profile signings who started great, has been out for a few weeks and we are not missing him.

He should struggle to get back in now. It’s Neil and a one from Evans and O9. O9 won’t and shouldn’t be dropped imo.

Can't see that either. Players will just have to wait for opportunities and grab them when they can.
Hopefully. Whatever LJ is doing at the moment it’s working. I just hope he can adopt a if it isn’t broken I won’t piss about with it mentality.
