the tactician Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Surely Semple should have been playing in this reserve game to get match fit? The past 2 games he has been off the pace and needs too lose a hell of a weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point in him playing in a game like that tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely do, especially with there being no 1st team game at the weekend. Isn't this kind of situation the purpose of It being a no age restriction reserve league instead of the U20s that went before it? The young guys that make up the reserves would benefit from playing alongside a more experienced player too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very silly to risk injury and leave the first team short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I see that point. Overall though, not talking about Semple specifically now, I do think the reserve games should be used to give minutes to guys who haven't been getting much (or any) 1st team action. No point in someone staying on the bench 3 or 4 games in a row then not being match fit if he's needing to step in to cover injury or suspension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such a small squad and considering the lad has missed so much pre season work due to an injury in a friendly at East Fife, I'm not surprised he is not with the reserves. Regarding playing experienced players in the reserves I had experience with a club with a large squad who did just that and some of the players did not give a dam although a few of the good pros did put in a shift and it was good for the youngsters. The reserves should not only act as a feeder for the first team but also as a competitive competition and playing down can be to the detriment of the reserves. It's a fine line but you need to trust the manager to make these decisions as it is the first team results that really matter with progression next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I saw a trialist nabbed a hattrick for us against Threave yesterday! I can only guess that will have left a good impression! Anyone any clue who it is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
