...yesterday was 21 and a half. Our oldest player other than Thorpe was Fallon at 23.
With Jerel in the team at Donny, the average couldn't have been much higher and it's hardly surprising we're struggling with a team of such inexperienced players.
Iffy's clearly identified the lack of experienced players as a problem and is looking to bring in one or two experienced pro's, exactly the sort of thing we need right now - especially whilst Reeves, Jenkins, and Miglioranzi remain injured and Thorpe, Cureton and Whalley aren't performing.
Worrying times indeed...

We're a young inexperienced side really.
Only Whalley, Thorpe, Cureton, Jenkins and Migz are experienced.

No excuse for being shit. I didn't say it was but you can't expect these players to last until the end of the season - which will be the crunch time - if they've had to play 40+ games in their first season at such a young age. Experience is also very important in a relegation battle. |

yeh, with such a young squad it will be harder to pull ourselves out of this problem. hopefull when Jenkins and whalley get back they might change things around....somehow.
Onoura looking for experience players....my money is on a return for George Ndah.

Another striker (an injury prone one at that). Just what we need.

We need a strong central midfielder and an experienced goalscoring striker.
I rate Heaton but I wonder whether an experienced goalkeeper might make a difference as well.
Fuck it, we need a whole new team.

Ndah and Iffy are good mates if i remember correctly.
They done some research i think when they played together here cos they were from the same tribe!!!

There is - experience is not an invaluable ingredient, but certainly helps. I really don't think we need better strikers - I've yet to see Thorpe or Cureton have a real goalscoring chance in the league. When they played against inferior defences i.e.: Crawley they looked bright and productive. If we can get a quality, fit midfielder in (Miglioranzi fits this bill, but keeping him fit seems to be proving impossible) and a decent centre back to replace that donkey Collins (who I blame for goal no. 2 yesterday) I think we will tank up the league. Then once competeting for the playoffs, experience will be important. |
