IMO a club that can achieve and sustain any form of success needs to blood in approx. 3-4 new young players every year. Last year we introduced 1 and this year none. This is one youngster compared to the optimal amount of say 6-8 over a 2 year period. We have placed ourselves behind the 8 ball not only for this year but also for the future.
Hang on - my apologies - I forgot. Clinton King might come good so we better persist with him and offer him another contract. Oh yeah - another thing - Beck's been busy to attend any under age games in the past few years so we'll take a punt on Fleming. ;D

to say spud hasnt got a clue about player management is a joke.
afterall he is in the best position to evaluate each player.

if schulz isnt ready to play in the seniors then why did we pick him up in the draft?
and i disagree with saying we gave cogs time in the reserves, yes that was the initial intention but because our midfield was crap and our season was basically over half way through last year frawley bit the bullet and threw him in, at the time he had played half a year in the reserves, its now half way so chuck in shulz see how he goes !!!!!!!!!
