The season isn't going to go downhill because a bunch of kids lost to West Brom's reserves in the mickeymouse cup!
As for the team selection of West Brom, well we'd have looked a bit silly if we'd fielded our full stregth side against that lot and then lost key players to injuries!
Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. Yeah, you are right of course, the season can only go upwards and I'm really looking forward to it as always, but don't you just get that niggling feeling that the tactics and decisions that Mancio makes are just a little....well, wrong?
As for the kids, you're right as well. They were up against a second rate team of a second rate squad, and left to try and orchestrate a win whilst getting serious experience of being pummelled as the manager sat there and watched. I personally blame them and am real glad our Academy is no longer an issue and will play no part in our future. Fuck 'em I say, what say you?
