Need more quality, I’d move on reed &TC, but it’s not small, there are 24 senior first team players + Josh king, managers don’t want bigger squads than that. Any team will suffer a little when you get 3 wide players injured at the same time, BHA did earlier in season, as did palace early. Arse have fallen off a cliff with 3 injuries to attacking players. We have nobody pushing from age groups to come in and freshen things, or silva isn’t prepared to take a punt on any. -- SW6.doc

In reply to: Bad Boy 's message, "FFC have recorded 11 goals by subs with Muniz & Wilson 4 each are top scorers off the bench. Most of us guessed that our small squad would come back to haunt us. If only Reiss & H had been available regularly who knows how much more effective might we have been with offensive substitutions?" on Monday, March 10, 02:43:55pm

King and Godo being obvious examples, and Sess to an extent. (NT) -- Bad Boy, Monday, March 10, 03:28:49pm (NoHost/2.222.160.125)
- Our age group quality is poor, godo has had a mediocre loan spell at L1, king has shown flashes, those who know more than me say he wasn’t a nailed on star at age levels. We don’t have any loans at champ level or good foreign leagues, we have senior team then age groups and nothing in between. I suspect PSR is partly to blame, all the top teams see youth as a cash cow and are hoovering up all too young talent, our pool has dried up hence we looking further away for talent.

  - Josh King is more than good enough.Has played for England at every age from U15 to U19.Seems some rate him very highly. (NT) -- HemelRog, Tuesday, March 11, 12:42:51am (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
  - The PSR point is missed by many - its a very easy offset in the accounts - nick all the youngsters, then sell them. re King, i've heard very differently from a few people outside the club (scouts/agents) that he is regarded as a top tier talent. But that's by the by, overall, i think your point is right - for a championship side, what we have coming through is ok, for a premier league side, not many look close to being ready. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, March 11, 10:06:47am (NoHost/90.241.80.71)
    - As someone who doesn’t watch much of age groups I haven’t seen enough of king to give a true opinion. But we all know you can’t just rely on 1 player, there’ll be injuries, loss of confidence, contrast issues, all sorts can happen, there needs to be 3 or 4 kings ready and waiting to spread the risk and hope 2 of them come through as regulars. Due PSR it’s even harder to keep them now even if you do have them, (Liv just generated 20m with carv and have Elliot as a first teamer) (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, March 11, 10:55:35am (82-132-222-231.dab.02.net/82.132.222.231)
