‘I would prefer…’. Not that he’s going to or he’s happy that he’ll have three keepers. Could still be one going and he’s presenting it as if it’s not his choice when in reality he’s perfectly happy to lose one.

In am ideal world of course you want three keepers, but you'd also have reserves/U23 sides for them to play in as well and finances wouldn't be an issue at all.

You don't need three keepers in League Two, that's what emergency loans are for. Neither of our keepers are brilliant, but they're not bad either, they're good enough for this level. We badly need a RB, a CM and a striker. We've needed them all year. Kelleher's brother clearly got all the talent in that family.
So what does Adams do? Sign a goalkeeper. Bravo. And our RB can make this goalkeeper look shit too.
Watch us pay off ROD now. "He doesn't want to be here, he's a disruptive influence, so we'll pay him to go play for someone else".

We talk a good game but in reality we are a club with no identity at all. Beginning of the season talk of Sparks wanting youngsters brought through but when have we ever been a club that brings youngsters through? You need to be properly set up for it, just take a small club like Peterborough who have just installed a indoor dome for their cat 2 academy. But then we bring in a manager who, like Parky, doesnt really do the young player thing. After the shambles on Saturday and yet another ill prepared January it all just feels like a club botched together with no sense of a remit of what we are planning for. It was supposed to be 'the model' wasn't it? Develop our own products and pick up young releases from higher up. Thing is, the assumption was if you just throw them in first team football and do nothing else they'll progress and you can sell them for big profit. No other investment or strategy for development, just play them. Doomed from the start. Meanwhile back in the real world it's another firefighting transfer window to try and repair the damage we've done in so many before it. Loan here, loan there, loans everywhere... why can't Adams improve one, just one of what he had to work with already? Slagging off the players all the time is one thing but Adams hasn't improved a single one of them. They're all worse under Adams. As for the kids, hoovering up the Cat 1 Academy rejects is not a bad strategy if you invest in it properly. But kids who've spent 2-3 years playing in a Cat 1 facility are going to take one look at our school playing field and run the opposite way. Doing a Brentford costs money. With a choice Adams isn't going to spend the money because he's judged on first team results and youth development a) takes time and b) most of the kids still won't make it. You take the decision away from the manager.
