The one where the manager refuses to play any of them for more than 10 minutes. I am baffled by the Geary signing. We hvae 2 (3 if you include Bromby) right backs. We spend money (and its not like this happens very often) on an ok young right back who wont get a sniff when players return to fitness. Is our youth team (which is supposed to be so good and that we have invested/wasted millions of pounds on) that bad that we cannot provide cover. Why not loan a right back? This makes no sense. We could have got him for free last summer.

Sell the Academy and disband the youth team. Its only a way to give Warnock's family jobs. It is one big joke imo

The one thing I am ****** off about is the panic signing of Cadamarteri, denying both Ross and Sharpe a chance. Why couldn't Sharpe or Forte play the last 3 games while Gray has been out?

Re: Ian Ross. If he can't get ahead of a 40 years old against Wrexham, when will he play?? I believe Cadamarteri has pushed Ross out, as Shaw & Gray could play upfront today, with Ross in the centre, and Tonge on the left.

Cadamarteri's arrival has meant that both Gray and Shaw were out of position today, which benefitted neither. Gray and Shaw look good together, and allow us to play decent football - just think, how many goals will Cadamarteri realistically get this year? Not many more than 5, and certainly not 10, due to ability/others head of him in the queue.

Warnock needs to think long term which is better for the team - 2 decent Div 1 strikers, or a £50k panic buy when we had injuries?

If we play our young players before they are fully ready then they will end up with injury-ridden careers. I can understand why people are wanting Warnock to play Forte as he seems very good, but I can understand why he doesn't play him, as a player who gets injured young is much more likely to end up with an injury-prone career! Give them time to adjust!

well, i never liked cada, and i know it is early doors, but he is actually playing well for us, he is getting in to dangerous positions, and he runs at defenders which is refreshing to see

Tonge is one that annoyed me, such a great game on tuesday, he was immense, but then again yesterday, he would get past a few people, and then stupidly give the ball away!!

I agree with patchy here, just look at Kabba and Armstrong. Two good young players that got injured, we may never see Armstrong play again, and Kabba has already started a run of bad luck with injuries. So who would start to have a go at Warnock if he played these youngsters and they all got injured? more or less evryone who's having a go at him now.

He's protecting some good investments here, if they got injured then we relly would be panic buying, maybe getting in some really bad players just to cover the gaps. People moaned at the signings he made but Cads is doing o.k. he's running his socks off and deserves a goal. Geary just stirs up anger being an ex Owl, but do we moan now about two so-called 'Wednesday rejects' he signed in the summer?

We are 6th (pending Millers-Sunderland result) and doing well, if the young guns came in with the pressure on them we may not have been in this position, who knows?

Armstrong hardly played for us. Kabba hardly played before he came to us.

If we were a top premiership side then I could understand why it can take a while for a player to be ready. However, United's youth cheme seems to start at 20+.

surely you play the youth players to stop your regular players becoming injured?

Armstrong was in contention for a regular starting place before he got injured as We only had Ullathorne and Kozluk back then. It is widely stated that a player peaks at around 26 so coming in at aorund 20 is still young enough, but if you play the youth to keep the regulars from getting injured how do you expect them to get in the team anyway?

playing 5-10 games a season is not going to put a player at risk of injury (more than playing 30 reserve games) And players do n ot peak at 26. its more like 28/29.

We wont play our youth players, they will get fed up and leave.

Its good enough for most clubs to play youth but not us.....

we'd much rather sign injury prone players for less than 100k because they'r bound not to get injured....

I think we could go on like this for a while. What it comes down to in the end is Warnock doesn't play the youngsters for whatever reason. We may see some tomorrow in the cup game.
