Surely it's a bit more joined up than that though? There's no point in identifying players out of our budget.

He was a good loan signing for a few months, but the liklihood is he won't be ours. Short term-ism has been a feature of our recruitment so far and Byers just highlights that.

I get what you're saying, but I reckon we're going to have to bring in as many as 10 players this window, which is a big ask in terms of integration.

And where are they all now? The fact we have to rebuild our squad every summer is a big part of the recruitment problem. Hopefully this will change with the new people brought in to sort it, but I'm not holding my breath.

We have a recruitment policy?

I can't believe Donny fans just stood there and let Crewe take the piss with that pitch invasion

I think it's time for him to move on. I don't rate him tbh. He gives the ball away an is caught out of position too much.

Evening, CJ.

Been a really good defender for us. Has been let down by Critchley and his formation, as most of our better players have been.

I'm sure the 12 people who still buy a match day programme are suitably informed.

I've always thought that a formal link with 4 or 5 non league clubs at different steps up to the Conference would be a good way to develop players.

I am very sceptical of the academy system tbh. I don't think it prepares players for the realities of league football as they're essentially training matches with very little physical contact from what I've seen. The old Central League, with the mix of youngsters and old pros either out of...

I agree with this, but what was the point in the development squad then?

Just seen insider say in a post in another thread that we are getting rid of the development squad next season. Thoughts on this? If true, where does this leave Sadler's stated aim that he wants a pathway into the first team for young players? Is it a cost cutting exercise?
