Whislt we’ve already brought one player in and recognise the need for further reinforcements, budget permitting. But what about our current players who would benefit from getting more game time elsewhere:
WALSH - Needs to be on loan getting games, good enough for L1 starter. Send him out with 24hr emergency recall clause so if Nardi does one we have him back. Not going to develop on the bench or by just playing 2-3 games in a season. Future No.1 but needs more experience.
EDB - Another one that needs games. 24 yrs old with only 28 games under his belt. There could be something there, but he needs regular minutes to unlock it and regain confidence. Currently benched and seemingly out of contention, he looks broken and needs a reset.
SANTOS - A loan up north in L1 should toughen him up. Make or break him.
LLOYD - More of a 1st-teamer than the others, but with Kolli emerging, Frey back, and Celar close, his chances in the lone striker role look slim. While he offers value as a wide option or a bench player, really needs games to develop.
... are now a bit of a circus act worthy of a reality TV show, like some kind of WWE pantomime with each player proudly showcasing their pre-rehearsed, choreographed routine. Its like they all have one.
What happened to the days when a simple handshake and a quick jog back to the halfway line sufficed?
With the season slog now done we can relax, recover and speculate with renewed hope for next season. Football wise us fans have the Euros till mid July, by which time the R’s will be back pre-season and the cycle starts again.
For the players, I suppose they’ll get some kind of off-season plan to not come back totally out of shape + I know a lot do their own individual work football wise. Either way it’s a decent 8-10 week break for them.
How will you guys be spending the off season, I partly enjoy the emotional break from all things R’s, especially this season, but come August ready to go through it all again.
