Passion, flair, nice football and a team with a smile on there face
Lets put the youth team out at Rotherham Saturday at least you get to see some passion and some free flowing moves not hoofing it and hoping for the best.
well done ricky!!!

They would get murdered. How about you post something sensible for once
 
Sorry what? I don't care if there's more passion losing 10-0 doesn't appeal, at least we have a slim chance of a draw playing the 1st team

Agreed. I really rate the crop of youth team players coming through and they all have big futures at Roots Hall but agree we need to blood them in 1 at a time like has been done with Ferdinand.
A full first team needs to be played Saturday vs Rotherham.
Although take nothing away from the youngsters, superb last night, knocking out a Championship side Coventry City.

I really don't think you can fault the first team for passion. I'm also not sure how much nice football and smiling the youth team would be doing when being smashed by Rotherham.

Anyway, good result last night. Are you going to give Ron some credit for backing Ricky Duncan and protecting the investment in the youth team? People are quick to blame him when things go wrong, but there's rarely any praise for the successes. Now you've got a rare opportunity are you going to say well done on this at least, Ron?

If a burglar steals everything from your home and then leaves you a note telling you your milk is still on the doorstep..would you say well done to him?
 
I'd suggest the more appropriate analogy would be someone who was looking after your house when it burnt down, but managed to salvage things from the fire.

Would I thank them? Yes, because the house was already on fire and although they helped fan the flames they were trying to help and didn't want it to burn down and indeed got burnt in the process.

Well done Ron your doing a fantastic job. I’m so happy the youth team are doing well in spite of the first team i watch every week being absolutely abysmal

What if they started the fire Yorky?
 
I would like to thank the Trust for their investment into the youth team. But of course the usual suspects would claim they're in bed with Ron etc etc etc.

They didn't start the fire.

A quick look at the accounts when Ron purchased the club will show that the club was millions of pounds in debt AND was losing vast sums of money each year. The fire was already going some time earlier.

Oh so its ok for Ronald to chuck Petrol onto it to enlarge his ego, rather than the initial water that would of reduced that debt?
