    I really don't see why Hanlan or Lapslie couldn't have been on the bench on Saturday

    As has been said many times, I genuinely believe that KR has done it to say to the press, the fans and Roland, look I have a small squad and I cant even fill the bench

    Are they injured? I can't find the article but with u23s we had something like 17 injuries.

    Was this postponed game at home ? I thought we'd spent big money on new pitches & drainage ?

    Lapsie is miles off being ready. I want to like the lad, but his few first team appearances have scared me.

    Agreed, unfortunately the game turned in Blackpool's favour, when Lapslie came on and continuously lost the ball.

    Scott Parker started like that - went to Norwich on loan and returned a new man. Sometimes the only way to get experience is to get thrown in at the deep end

    If 3 players had gone off injured by the 80 minute mark, I'd rather have options on the bench to bring on than either nobody or injured/unfit players. If JFC had been forced to come on, got injured and been out for a month it would have been ridiculous

    He was like an enthusiastic sheep without a head. It was clear he wanted to play, but needs experience.

    Went there this afternoon, from the gate to the changing room the whole area is a swamp,the pitches seem to drain better than the surrounding areas,the referee made 2 inspections but there was too much laying water on the pitch.
    I cannot see what work has gone on in the last 3 years & the training ground is in worse state than when we moved in 30 odd years ago.
    Thanks Roland.

    Good point well made. Send George on loan then :wink:

    A training ground like a swamp is perhaps a fitting epitaph to the RD era

    One year on, and all that Lookman money on the training ground where the only videos were about drainage and trenches.
    Very low grade lies.

    Personally, I'd rather use the word "bog" to describe it, @killerandflash .
