Interesting that Solly isn't involved (in fact Taylor Sinfield is, and he's being released at the end of the season). Maybe he's injured? In fact there are only four subs, one of them a schoolboy.
[cite]Posted By: paulbaconsarnie[/cite]shall we ask the barnsley and southampton fans if it's ok if we put out a youth team against norwich?
as if the seniors have been doing the business eh !!! How could other clubs complain, we've been shit all season without the youngsters, anyone complained so far ?
[cite]Posted By: Ledge[/cite]CFW - If the boot was on the other foot we'd go mad if another team - already relegated put out their kids to give them a run out agaisnt one of our relegation rivals and they capitualted easily and we went down.
we've been capitulating all season, hence the reason we are bottom 12 pts adrift of safety, have you noticed ?
I don't see a problem with us playing a few youth players and other clubs complaining. It's up to us to play the team we want, other clubs have the whole season to get the results they need.
[cite]Posted By: Scoham[/cite]Wouldn't be much harm in giving Solly, Arter or Tuna 15 minutes or so from the bench. Tuna came on the other day, Arter's already made his debut, and Solly is captaining the reserves at 17/18 ahead of 'older youngsters'.
Can see both side of the coin and my inital feeling was the same as Ledge's but putting a few of our younger players on the bench and giving them 20 mins or so is not the same as resting a team full of proven internationals is it? Our players have not been anywhere near good enough over the season so how can it be argued we've weakened the team by giving a home grown alternative a run out?
Parky is re-inforcing his own ineptitude by claiming that the youngsters are not good enough. Arter has already played at this level more than a year ago and wasn't out of his depth, PP has just seen Butterfingers have a hand in most of the four late goals we have conceded, let alone indifferent performances to date, but maintains that our most promising teenager to debut yet, in Solly, isn't ready. Lets not forget that Shelvey has only started our last half a dozen matches, being close to MOTM in all, yet debuted last summer and has been available all season. What coaching transformation from Parky suddenly made him a key player?
[cite]Posted By: razil[/cite]I like the way zz gets credit for our 'revival' of late, yet a certain Mr Shelvey has also returned to the first team in that time
And Racon, Ward and even Sam in for Soares have come into the team around same time.

He realised he was wrong. And we were probably protecting him because he couldn't sign pro until February.
Solly for Butterball but thats it for me. Won`t be a happy cheery place at The Valley against Norwich so I say keep the innocent out of the firing line.
Why hasn't Solly been given a chance- PP said in the Programme on Saturday that he deserved a run-out! Also Solly will be here next year- he is a CAFC player- Butterball is a loanee and my not be here so whats the point in keep playing him ahead of Solly. He should have played last night and been given a three match run to get him ready for next year!
So when is a player ready...... ready for what!. I can understand protecting Shelvey, but surely some of the youngsters could have played a part , and should play a part. Or are we to wait until the final whistle against Norwich when the experienced players depart out of the car park for the last time! Suddenly the young players have gained experience! poor management IMO.

LOL.
Not sure we would be allowed to put the womens team out though? ;-)

Far better to p[ss off all the remainging fans with another negative waste of time performence.
Well said that man
