Is that the Josh Emmanuel and Yorwerth 2 of the 3 youngsters who were in the back four last night, that you said basically why we conceded 2 late goals in a different post. Come on where is your consistency?

Derick you are being silly now and you know it, both Emmanuel and Yorwerth are young lads who are learning their trade, both have barely played at this level, they look to be very decent prospects, it is one thing blooding one kid alongside senior pro's but it is quite something else playing virtually a whole back line of raw kids which is what we did, surely even you can accept that.
I am always consistent as far as I am concerned, and I have to say unfortunately so are you but in a different way. I really don't want to start a new season having disagreements with anyone but a sense of perspective here is needed. We started last night with Coke, Toure, Bru, Ambrose on the field, none of which will be first team starters at Brentford, missing were Skuse, Didsy, Bishop, Fraser and Maitland-Niles, all of these will probably have a very good chance of starting, we then finished the game with Yorwerth, Kenlock and Emmanuel in defence, at no point did we play with a recognised starting Eleven, I agree it is not good to lose but does it really represent a true reflection of our ability ? That said I would like to see the real starting Eleven play the whole game saturday and also obtain a good result to set us up for the following week.
