modboy Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 amount of "wasted" wages on injured players at the moment is about the same as we generate from ST income. How would you feel about going with yesterdays team next season (with a few quality loanees in desperate areas) and paying a minimal ST sum? Ive loved seeing our youngsters get a game, much better than watching millionaires not giving a throw. We probably could have a squad thats combative in mid-table and it would be a fraction of the cost to attend as supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We've got a host of great players but we just need to let a few go and thin the squad out. Bring in the youth to replace them and a few minor repairs to certain positions and i believe we'd be back uo competing in the top 10. However, thats dependant on players being fit/having a normal amount of injuries. Not sure we can ever count on that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Of all the players we have injured, there’s only half a dozen that we really miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Steve Bruce and his mate gave me an idea. Instead of paying £50,000 a week out to injured strikers. Why not simply give each match day official a one off £50k payment to ensure the decisions all go 16-1 in our favour. Benefits all parties, and we don't have to worry about appearance bonuses either. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We miss half of dozen of those injured and they would be in The 11 , mix those with wildsmith , Clare and we have a good team with a few tweaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Maybe just train the players properly then we’ll be paying them to play and because they’re good players we’ll probably have a good team. As nice as it’s been seeing some youth come through we haven’t actually been winning many games. If we play our u23 team we’ll get u23 results. Summer can’t come soon enough.

It's great to see some of the Under 23 lads getting their chance, but if we "go with the kids" then we will find ourselves in League One pretty quickly. We need to strike a balance between proven performers at this level and the youngsters coming through. The likes of Clare, Thorniley and dare I say Hirst will be much better players for getting the chance to line up with Hooper, Bannan and Nando.
