should have kept Lapham.
He could have done a job as back up right back to Jack Smith, and as a really make shift centre half.
I know I only saw him the once! but I thought he played well and took to pro football like a duck to water.
Just my opinion like....
We seem to give youth one or two games but not a run in the team...Garrard, Lapham, Stroud, Henry, Caton, Holgate, Taylor etc!
None of those got/get a run in the team as they would have significantly weakened the aformentioned team.
Are you seriously telling me you would have just dumped Henry at centre back for 5 games if Williams got injured? Decisions like that can cost managers their jobs; especially at clubs that are expected to be promoted
I'd love to see more local lads coming through the ranks, sadly most of them are at best medicore and as a consequence end up playing local non league football.
Could have dumped Henry in a centre back for few games towards the end of last season when we were all ready fucked and relegated?
I guess because we dont do cup runs, it doesnt help but you can never be so sure how someone will cope untill you try them.
For all we know Henry could have come in and been excellent. The only time I saw him play alongside CCP he was by far the better of the two on the night.
David Stroud good example, Iffy start him and everyone was a bit shocked, many didnt know who he was and he was bloody awesome that game. Has to be in the top 3 of Town debuts within recent years. Got injured next game and never got a chance.
That one game may have been a one off fluke, but in that game alone he showed me enough that he could have been a decent player at this level.
Plus, I'm not 100% convinced starting Stroud, Henry, Lapham, Holgate and Caton would have made last seasons team any worse!!!
