Sorry if this has been covered in joe's thread.
Can we put this one to bed now? Phil said the same a while back - said it was the same with gibbs.
We're going to miss out on the playoffs this year having given none of the all-conquering u23s a chance. I can handle missing out on the playoffs if we're building for next season. I can handle giving none of the 23s a chance if we're top of the league. |  |

27 games in league and cup this season and 12 goals. I don't think we'd have to cross our fingers that he's going to be better than pigott. |
Joe Pigott scored 20 in 45 games last season at a higher level. There's no guarantees here, just a manager's judgement. |  |

But in a management team that functions well the manager should listen to the views of his support staff. Not having a dig at mckenna here and suggesting he's an autocrat - it's a football-wide problem because of the outdated hierarchical structure of the off-field staff and the fact that accountability for results is squarely on the manager. | |

What do you mean by listening here? If Dyer tells McKenna that Simpson's better than Bonne or Humphreys is better than Carroll, and he's seen them both play and doesn't agree, should he automatically defer to Dyer? | |

If McKenna had walzed in here and said Kieron has told me x, y and z are the best players in the club so they’re in the first team and we’d then lost those games, I wonder what the reaction of the displaced and other first team players would have been? Or the crowd, come to that. I doubt KM would have made it to Valentines Day.
KD has a view on how things should be that differs to others in the football club. Kieron was open enough to say they might be right and himself wrong. Time will tell, but I think the younger players, if they’re good enough and still here, will get their chance. |  | | |
