Football 19 has put the finger on a massive issue for us in his post on the Northants match thread. I was discussing the same with our esteemed Fan Director before the game yesterday on the Clayton End, as it seems to me we are at a big disadvantage as compared with most of our rivals. Keeping all our big squad of loanees, etc motivated must be a nightmare and I don't see how we can get the stability and progression in the squad which we are lacking without addressing the issue. Look at Jim Bentley, for instance, who has been able to bring through Redshaw, Burrows and others through the reserves, and is beginning to see the benefits. If they didn't have the awful Globe Curse on them they would be in L1 by now and I expect them to be up there in the playoffs. I wonder how many other L2 and even Conference teams operate without a reserve team?
I haven't done the National Lottery for years, but am going to have a do every week from now on in the hope I can provide this boost for the Reds if the numbers come up!
