    Let's hope Clement follows his remarks about the academy players up. Those who came on last night played really well, showed youthful energy and lack of thinking fear, and were enjoying their time on the field. We saw that with Lowry too, before he was removed from the squad and loaned. Hope he gets his act together. McCausland with his usual directness and bite.

    His comments were quite alarming actually. I cant believe that previous coaches weren't involving the youth players in the same way before.

  2. McCausland for me, not a world beater and switches off defensively but you can see what he brings in games like this. Gives the team width, tenacity, stamina and good forward running.

    That's where I was with Tav on Saturday - if he was a brilliant defender with little pace I'd happily keep him as a starter, like an Azpilicueta or Carvajal..but alas, he isn't.

    We need someone to take him and given we have him on another 2 years(?) on near 30k a week and a testimonial to come I cant see it.

    I see a few mentioning lists that need to be away this summer and I cant argue with most of it, but those wanting Tav away (I think it is the right time myself too) are going to be disappointed. This is the end of Tav's 9th season with us, meaning next season is his 10th and I know there is already a testimonial committee set up and working on a series of events for next year. Given how lucrative this is, plus he and his family are settled here, there is absolutely no chance he is going to be away this year.

    The guys who turn up every week and are available to play at a good level are the least of our worries IMO. Tav has good games and bad but overall he is still one of our best, unless we get a Saudi super bid he is going nowhere anyway.

    We seem, and are not alone in this, to poach players from other clubs, at c16/17 yrs, for a 'development fee'. This must be a cheaper option. Has it been successful?

    Tony Weston, Archie Stevens and Zak Lovelace say no.
