Samuels getting dropped for Bristow is a particularly dramatic example of a new manager making a snap judgement. In this case, pretty innocent, but they can really swing a player’s career. See how Stam treated Kelly compared to Kuhl/Stacey/Fosu, or how Gomes revitalised Barrett and gave Olise a huge promotion.

Simon's Church Strange that Melvin Lambert was given a squad number but has still never played for the U23s. Also that Samuels travelled with the first team all pre-season, then immediately dropped behind Bristow.

It's almost like something changed at the club between pre-season and the first game.

:wink:

I guess the squad number were submitted a while before being released too, so Bowen maybe had a part in those.

Anyway, all change at U23, new manager, new players, new ground. Same coverage :lol:

Nevers is too old for the U18 group - he is aged 18 already so is an U23.

We really don’t need any more centre backs. Can we please sign a winger or two.
