When do we think KMK might start experimenting and giving a few fringe and younger players their chance. From today, when it's mathematically impossible to go up or not until pre-season. |  | | |  |

May be forced into it today if the illness bug reported means a number may have to miss out |  | | |

I don't think we'll see any out and out experimenting until it's truly mathematically GONE, but we might see a few more youth and fringe players on the bench starting today. McKenna and the players seem to be too genuinely motivated to give up and take a 'free hit' still. |  |

I think it'll come down more to when he thinks they're ready. There's not much to be gained by simply throwing them in just to "see how they might do" if he thinks they aren't. Nor in throwing away a game when players who could win it are sat in the stands.
It's mainly the Youth we're talking about, most of the rest (who are not injured) have been rotated through the team in McKenna's time. Some have gone out on loan, so can't be included. He sees them in training and in the U23s (or gets reports) and I reckon he'll make a judgement on that more than "having a look". |  |

I agree with this. I don’t think he’s a manager who will chuck the youth in just for the sake of it, they’ll have to prove their ready and can improve the team straight away. It’s so important that we finish the season strongly and build momentum into next season. | | | |

I don't think that there'll be very much Paul-esque chucking in of youngsters to distract from any criticism. [Post edited 9 Apr 2022 14:29]

I’d like to see him give KVY a real run at the last few games in place of loanee Thompson. |  |

He's already said he won't be experimenting, he wants a strong end to the season. |  | | |

The difference this time round is that the manager has not been here a full season and we actually have a good team and squad so I doubt we’ll see any major curveballs.
In years gone by players got chucked in by virtue of being youngsters from the academy.. which we don’t need to be doing this time round as McKenna is still trying to fine tune his best team.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Simpson, Humphreys and Baggott take places on the bench, but other than that it’ll be business as dual |  | | |

Not even a question until Crewe at the earliest, I'd say. |  |

There was not one performance in the U23s match this week that would warrant giving any player a run out in the first team.
Remembering of course that the U23s are last years U18s. | | | |

Notwithstanding one underwhelming performance by our U23s, it's mainly just that we're a professional football club and aren't just going to say "fck it" and put out weakened teams against experienced opponents. | |
