I have agreed with it. I have said I agree, and of course it matters, as you are saying that you wouldn't trust Thompson if injuries happened, but you are now trusting Willis after he was only thrown in originally after injuries. As for your point about a loan. Those are no longer the rules...

I get that but if you are going to discount the experience Thompson has gained, then you ahve remove all of that from Willis too- All of his 3 apperancves in his first season were substitute ones- so minus 3 His second season- three appearances again all substitute. so minus 3 3rd season- he...

I think Pressley was the same, I remember him not signing a CB, because he said he wanted a Left footed CB to bring balance.

I didn't skip two years of his career? I just stated his age in August 2014 and how many appearances he had overall by that point? By which point he had made around 35 Appearances? and Then yes like i said he had his injury and so by 22 he had made 75? I was making the point that he had made...

Southam is lovely, very good school there (not sure if this of interest.) Banbury station can be hectic for rush hour as you expect, only single roads, parking is OK there are a few car parks around there, so probably be ok. Brackley which isn't far from Banbury, isn't a bad place, not a lot to...

Okay so he was 20 by August 2014 which makes it 34 appearances. By 21/22 its 75. Born in 1994. I agree with the point about if he's not getting games he can't improve, but i'm just not sure who we could bring in who would accept being 4th choice.

No he hadn't? Took him until he was 20 to have made any decent number of appearances in a season. Think he had made 30 by the age of 20? 70 by 21 and then only made 4 the season after due to injury.

I think we have improved fairly significantly as a team since promotion. The standard in League one is higher, but it's also different, as mentioned, teams play football at this level, whereas league 2 really is just a slog. Standard of Reffing is better, although not really hard to improve...

Yep agree with that, but only problem is if we bring in someone on loan, would they not be expected to play?

Think he's more of your all round midfielder, don't think anybody at the club is similar, more like your Jordan Henderson type player? Bit of an all rounder?

Thought it lacked any real quality up top but defense and midfield was good for the time

Hasn't Allissani been injured?

I saw a lot of his game-time from his time at Barrow last season, playing mens football, and he didn't look out of place. Technically (using your example of Cian) he isn't that level, that's why I likened him to Willis, ok technically but physically can handle it. He's strong and he's fast. I...

Yes that's what i was thinking, surprised he hasn't gone out on loan to league 2/national league, but makes sense if injured.

I doubt it? He is a different type of player.

Is Westbrooke injured? Hasn't played for the u23's in weeks/months? Or have i missed something about him?

Physically Thompson is very similar to Willis, I wouldn't look to bring in extra cover or you are just blocking the pathway to the first team. I don't see Thompson being walked over. Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool are the perfect examples of young players being given a chance. I...

Beat me to it!!!

Hiwula, can probably play the role, not the same exact role but could easily be pushed up alongside him, Baka is good with the ball at his feet. You are acting as if we have to play the same exact way no matter what, whereas all that would happen is we would have to adjust. It's not like you...

Well no it's the training ground routines that tend to work, it's just everything has to be perfect, but only has to be perfect once.
