Midge Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Agreed, Akinde,Riberio and Wilson are the obvious three that seem to be ready to step up, Wilson must be viewed as Careys replacement so what better time to bleed him in, as for the other two I think that we have some major talents their and should make the most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Top ten must be priority over playing kids - more money for finishing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Top ten must be priority over playing kids - more money for finishing it in. Sorry i dont agree with that attitude tbh, similar to the attitude GJ had at the end of last season. Playing some youngsters dosnt automatically mean we will get battered in the last 6 games imo. Perferct oppurtunity to give them a go, i get a feeling Millen will aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Top ten must be priority over playing kids - more money for finishing it in. We have to start building for next season and although I know the club needs to be sensible with finances I don't think that finishing in the top ten or not will make any difference to the wage or transfer budget available to the next manager. However, what you don't want to do is throw in three or four youngsters at the same time. I would get the dead wood off the bench - by that I mean Maierhoffer, Johnson, Sproule and probably Sno who won't be here next season - get players like Akinde, Edwards, Artus, Wilson on there and look to give them 30-40 minutes. It'll be invaluable experience for them and they won't get the same pre-season - some of those players have been needing the opportunity for two years and if you don't give them it now you never will.

bucksred Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Top ten must be priority over playing kids - more money for finishing it in. Agreed, more money for players in t'summer. Riberio is already part of it. Wilson maybe ready. Akinde is not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Who are these kids, then? Ribeiro is already in the side, James Wilson is injured again and Akinde has been in the 18 recently. Of the others Artus and Plummer aren't good enough, leaving Joe Edwards, who is a right back so even if we did rest Orr we'd probably play Ribeiro there anyway.

Guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ignoring what other people said. What is the break down for prize money this season? Not entirely sure, but the top ten will get more if Newcastle & WBA go straight back up (next seasons parachute payments get div'd up between the rest.. but more if you are in the top ten) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham I know you watch the lads games often but you can't know that until they've had the chance in the first XI surely? Some players step up extremely quickly when they're put in at a higher standard and you can't tell which will do that until you give them the chance? But anyway, why not have Akinde and Edwards on the bench ahead of some of the rest now we're safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 what are the parachute payments from the prem, I cant find anything about either Around £11m per club for 2 seasons however only one of those gets re-distributed if they both go back up - the Prem keep the other.

Guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 what are the parachute payments from the prem, I cant find anything about either £11.2 million for two seasons. This may change to £16m first season and two years of £8m from this year. If Newcaslte & WBA go up we could net somewhere around £2m for being in top ten I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you about Akinde and Edwards, as there is no point in Maierhofer or Sno, loan players with no chance of permanent deals, being involved again. Artus and Plummer have had several disappointing loan spells in lower league football, and at 21 and 20 I just think they are both heading for the out door this summer.

CiderHider Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 what do we have to lose? Give them a chance to prove themselves or move them on. Yeps very much agree, Next season starts here. Which makes me think the sooner SL gets in a new gaffer the better isint it?, he's goona want as much time to assess the current players and consider his options, we all know this is a protracted affair, and then we'll soon see what players want it the most going into our final games, its important I think, There is something from the GJ era I hope the club continues to do, I hope we still bring in players with very strong work ethic and commitment we like to see a good tryer, and of course super balls skills is nice! Heh, SL should take his time of course, but the clock is now ticking...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribs is now in the team and Akinde might not be a million miles away so agree on those two. Shame Wilson is injured as would hvae been good to have a look at him aswell. Might be an outide hout for hendo but dropping gerken would be harsh so no need to call him back to sit on bench when apparently he is doing pretty well and regularly playing out on loan From what i hear though the rest have done absolutely nothing at lower league level on loan to suggest they should be anywhere near contention infact i would rather see more of a fit clarkson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terjon Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 GET THE KIDS WHO ARE ON THE FRINGE IN THE SIDE, WE ARE SAFE, AKINDE, WILSON, HENDO, RIBS AND ANY OTHER PLAYER TO GAIN EXPERIENCE THIS WOULD SAVE MILLIONS ON TRANSFERS IF THEY PROVE GOOD ENOUGH, LETS DROP ALL THE LOANEES IF WE ARE NOT KEEPING THEM ALSO LIKE TO SEE CLARKSON GIVEN A RUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ribero has proved that given the chance he can make the step up. Give some of the other young lads a chance to see if they can do the same. We havent got anything to play for so why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but.... would City then be liable to a fine for "playing a weakened side"? If say Blackpool are trying to make the play offs and we had quite a few non 1st team regulars in our team when we played them, their rival might make an official complaint to the League.

Riaz Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'd say definately give wilson a go and obviously continue to play ribeiro. I want Akinde to be given an opportunity - but I also want Maynard and Haynes to build a partnership... which they appear to be doing. the rest of the youngsters are clearly not near enough in terms of quality and it will do them no good whatsoever to play.

Bristolian76 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'd much rather see us try and finish as high as possible in the league, Ribs will deservedly keep his place, Akinde will be on the bench & hopefully get half an hour here or there, i feel it's more benificial for Maynard & Haynes partnership to grow.

I'd love to see Tristran given a go though, would be sad if he's offloaded without making a first team appearance, being a Bristol boy. Seen the ressies a few times and he always plays well, scored a couple of crackers earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Intersting to hear the views of people who have watched some of the youngsters. We obviously have a few who deserve the chance to impress. Ribero could have been somewhere else next season if GJ was still in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounce Around the Ground Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Even if he wasn't injured I don't think Wilson would get much of a chance because Sawyer will play ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
