Play The Kids! 10:49 - Apr 21 with 1081 views | BlueBlood90 | Four games to go. Let's litter this team with youth players and players he wants to keep only for the remainder. This current crop clearly couldn't care less and have absolutely zero self pride to even attempt to try and win a game of football. I really hope Cook takes this opportunity to blood some young lads in who he sees potential in. If we're going to lose 3-0 to relegation fodder anyway then at least make it a learning curve for our young lads. I can't see one reason why the likes of McGuiness and Bennetts are still playing? For a start they're useless and secondly, they're going back to their parent clubs in a couple of weeks anyway. Do the right thing Paul! |  |

I'm not sure I want the likes of Hughes, Gibbs, Andoh, Simpson and co to get tonked by Swindon only to get piled on via social media by some of our 'fans'. I really don't see what good it does them. |  |

All of them. Litter the squad with youth players he said. I assume except KVY? |  |

Yeah, but specifically, which ones? Gibbs is the only player currently in the U23s who is widely regarded as a serious prospect and he certainly wasn't ready in the Autumn. |  |

Play The Kids! on 11:32 - Apr 21 with 949 views | wkj | I am telling you now - Gibbs is about the only one in the U23s who is ready to break through, and he didn't handle his debut very well. Our current crop of youth are doing well at youth level, but I can't see many of them with Championship potential right now. (I am not counting the U18s, to play a large number of them in a senior match would be stupid) |  |

We'll put out the strongest teams we can in all our remaining fixtures. To do otherwise would be unprofessional. |  |

I would argue all the players have individually looked worse under Cook so I don't think it would help the young players development right now. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Indeed. Dobra seems to have gone backwards at an alarming speed. |  | |  |

Did you see Dobra play yesterday? Dozzell? Downes? McGuinness? And they’re meant to be the stronger youngsters. We don’t need more youth in the line up - I think we need more experience. Chambers and Skuse back in the line up to solidify our spine, for example. Holy KVY - Woolfenden - Chambers - Kenlock Skuse - Downes Dobra - Bishop - Edwards Norwood If all are fit of course. There was a post about Mick’s proper blokes this morning - I bet that’s what Cook will be looking for over the summer. |  |
