Start afresh. And statistically we'd be due a win start of next season.

no we wouldn't! :wink:
I know. And we wouldn't get one. That only seems to work for sides who turn up at the Macron having not won in a thousand games....

I think it's certainly better to experiment with next season in mind than to desperately scramble for pointless points.

I'd rather lose 2-0 (or 4-0) with players we'll use next season than 1-0 with an experienced lineup who'll mainly be gone within five weeks.

Spot on Mr DSB, next term is all that matters now this season is a write off.

Burlimey!

Amos, Maher, Derik, Finney, Moxey, Vela, Trotter, Pratley, Walker, Clough, Woolery.

Rachubka, Danns, Heskey, Wilson, Twardzik, Wheater, Samizadeh.

What's the average age of that starting XI?

Without digging out DSB's handy contract-length thingy (my dinner's nearly ready - chicken jalfrezi on a Tuesday - feck it ;) ), is that side pretty much representative of what we can expect to see next season?

By my reckoning, the average age of that starting line-up is twenty-three.

That will be no goals to us and lots to Brentford then.

Still worth finding out about these lads, but I'm bloody glad I'm not doing so first hand. Massacre.

Nice to see finney getting a go ahead of Wheater. not that he's better mind. it's more an approach of looking towards the future.

seasons ended already. might as well consider this prep for next season.

A massacre is my worry too. I'm all for blooding the youngsters but so many at once could be detrimental to their development no?

glass half empty there methinks.

I like to think of it as the youngsters will be excited an raring to go. might as well give the young guns a go to see if any can make it.

Don't like being pessimistic but I just don't rate most of our young players. We will need a genius manager and some clever free transfers to get anything out of next season.
