Definitely should pay a couple at least. Give a striker a go? Wilson. Aimar can start if no Placheta, with maybe Lowe central. Hopefully Tymon isn’t out. Do we have someone to come in for Jay? Walsh?

I bow to your knowledge of academy lads but I maintain none of them would be worse than Yates . None
Jasper might have seen more of both of them. I have been very impressed with Kyrell Wilson. He is very fast and tigerish and always on point. H seems to be improving every time i saw him. Some u21 games are mismatches Cadogan was OK when I saw him. Liam Smith does not seem to have progressed. He looked very good in early season games.

After being at the match last Saturday and witnessing an end of season kick about from much of the team I would not have Yates anywhere near the team. He is playing with what seems to be no confidence is it a couldnt care less attitude./ Give a couple of youngsters a start who knows what can happen?

afaik Wilson hasn't played since he was on crutches a couple of months ago (the cup final?). Liam Smith missed the last u21s game, no idea why, his lack of first team involvement this season honestly baffles me. Been the best player in the u21s since he joined the club, and we're bringing on an u18s player in his position...

I actually think it’s basic lack of professional pride with him. He is not working at his game,for sure .

The Yates bit 100%.
Start of the season he was making runs, hassling defenders, getting outmuscled but not backing down.
Now he looks like his confidence is shot to pieces. He’s slow to react, almost like he’s not fully focused, doesn’t close down as much/as aggressively and doesn’t seem to relish the physical battle.
I wouldn’t be throwing untried youngsters in yet. I’d be starting with Cullen or Lowe. Beat Stoke or Rotherham and there’s nothing to lose by doing it.

I remember when Tosh was forced into playing our very talented youngsters when we were in a relegation battle that didn't go well. I'm all for blooding our youngsters but not in games where the oppostion will be fighting for their lives and we need to win too. These players showed intent at Hull and against Cardiff they should do again on Wednesday...if not the club should take some actions against them

Few of our first team players will fight for anything
Kyrrel Wilson back from injury at Fleetwood. I would expect to see him get a run out in the first team once up to speed. U21. lost their way for a while but old head Cotterill got them back in the groove with Glory featuring up top.

Totally agree. These players have proved how much effort they can give. If they refuse to do that in another match this season, then they need sacking, fining, flogging, fk knows.

Persisting with a striker who has scored one in twenty is bizarre, when a hungry striker in the academy could do a lot better.
I don’t think he will persist with Yates now. If he does, it will be because of this weeks training/punishments/excuses, which will have to be good to bring LW around from the mess he was post match.
If Yates starts and doesn’t show any difference yet again, maybe then I will start questioning the manager more.
And not just Yates. Most the players actually.
I am expecting a few changes, not wholesale this week, but a huge change in attitude. If it doesn’t come, I will then admit that the players aren’t doing what the manager wants and are absolute arseholes, but will also have to admit that Williams is probably out of his depth with this squad. I don’t think he’s a bad manager, but maybe is totally inept at giving mediocre players any confidence 🤷♂️

Good posting. Think we have all woken up to our reality now. It’s all about survival this season. It always was. A clear out is what we need I’d be quite optimistic if we saw sense and flogged Grimes,Wood and loaned out Yates .

I can’t disagree with your comment on Yates BUT the academy players are not going to have the confidence or presence to be better in my opinion. It’s asking too much if them against seasoned pros. And yes, again, Yates isn’t the answer either but I’d rather throw him under the bus than a young promising U21.

I was more referring to some to replace Yates primarily. But yes, nobody wants to see a whole load of them included.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
