Ainsworth, Armstrong and the academy 15:11 - Aug 13 with 3136 views | Hoopsie | Too early to tell, but I am thinking Armstrong maturity in the Cardiff game, a goal and an assist, could be attributed to the work Ainsworth and Dobson did during preseason? Eze had a breakthrough season after a successful loan at Wycombe. Ainsworth is not adverse to having academy players training with the first team - Gubbins, Woodman, Hawkins, Aoraha, Pedder and even Kolli appeared in the substitute bench I get it we are skint on squad members with championship level and had no choice but to look deep in the development squad, but we had past managers refusing to name academy players in match day squads to prove a point - two goalkeepers and leaving empty slots for substitutes etc. Warburton, Beale gave no confidence in our academy players at all Thoughts?

Ainsworth, Armstrong and the academy on 18:20 - Aug 13 with 2632 views | Rangersw12 | I thought his touch and all-round play was far better than last season At the end of the day we're never going to know if these players are good enough unless we play them. Hopefully with us being skint it will give these youngsters more of a chance even if just off the bench Another thing is if you do give them some mins and they might not be ready they will likely get better loans due to the exposure to the first team so win win [Post edited 13 Aug 2023 18:23]

Given we’re playing Dozell, I’d like SDM to be given a run in the side instead. | |

Thought Dozzell played well yesterday but yeah need to give SDM minutes as otherwise no point giving him another contract | | | |
