Richard Wood is toilet, would rather give a youngster a chance like Joe Gomez
A 17 year old CB playing against some very lethal strikers, his confidence could take a battering before he's even 18. Needs a lot more time, it's playing with his future in the game, needs a loan spell like Popey first.
normally I would agree with you, however JG is 'different gravy' he is pure class and makes it look easy, most exciting player I have watched in a long time
Yes but he has not made marking Championship strikers look easy .. hes made 16-18 year old strikers look easy..
Gomez is FAR to young to be starting in championship he is to learn at the moment and would be dominated by someone like Yann Kermorgant.
I admire your believe in our young players and love the fact your backing him but honestly .. he is no where near ready yet
A nice loan to a league 2 club will do him very well
Thank you for admiring 'my belief'... I am very comfortable with it and having watched 'the youngsters' play week in and week out for the past 4 years and witnessed the drubbings they gave the 1st team in their training ground friendlies on more than one occasion I am also quite confident the club should be introducing some of them to the bigger stage at an earlier point in their development. I also feel in the case of JG a league 2 loan would b a backward step and could probably manage a league 1 loan quite easily....but it's just an opinion
So Morrison and a new signing (to replace Dervite) as first choice pairing. Let's see who arrives. Then we have Lennon and Gomez learning their trade - all good. Thanks Richard Wood. We all move on
Need 2 CB's in the door now for me. A first choice partner for Morro. Another Wood/Cort standard player as first reserve. Then Lennon and Gomez can be 4th choice and learn ready for a serious crack at the first team next season.

Hmmm. First we need to see a new signing if there is one and he has to be at least as good as Dervite was becoming. Last season everyone was fretting over a lack of strikers but the lack of defensive cover is potentially even more alarming.
The business model is to play Lennon while Gomez develops but if he's up to it and I do hope so because I like him, that doesn't allow for injuries, suspensions, illness, loss of form, competition for places, loss of confidence or, perish the thought, someone from Chelsea ringing him up and saying "we like the cut of your jib, young man".
So I wouldn't go as far as saying "all good" but then it's only just the start of pre-season training and new wood could be on it's way. We have effectively gone from Morro Wood Dervite Cort and Lennon to Morro Lennon and (just?) one vacancy.
