Yes, naïve of me to expect professional football clubs to try to win cup matches, as they did for most of the forty-odd years I've followed the sport.Originally Posted by MacAdder
Am I on the side of blooding youngsters? Yes, when the time is right and when they have shown enough to warrant a place in the first team. How would I go about getting players up to speed? Well, this is a revolutionary concept I know, but I'd have a reserve team that plays in a reserves league.
Football has changed in many ways since I started watching in the mid-Seventies and plenty of those changes are undoubtedly for the better, but this bollocks about playing reserves in cup matches is certainly not one of them. I've been opposed to that idea ever since City started doing it.
Morison signed another player yesterday. So when does he get 'blooded'?
