We need to replace those older players though with other players with some experience though who will still pull their weight. No point having a dump load of youngsters giving their all if their's no experience in the team leading the way and helping the youth develop.

I know it's FM12 and all but if you check some of the wages that the players on if it's like that in real life it's scary. 

Ireland and Heskey on 60k a week
Warnock, Petrov, Dunne on 55k a week.

Most the youngsters now have a decent amount of experience I reckon. Plus they are players with a winning mentality from the lower levels, so having them bogged down in a suffering team with low moral will only ruin them.
 
Given,
Lichaj, Clark, Baker, experienced left back
Albrighton, Herd, Gardner, Bannan
Gabby, Weimann

Personally, the only ones I'd feel comfortable playing out of those there would be Clark, Albrighton, Gardner and Bannan. The others I'm not totally made up on.
Chances of Bent staying this year? Could be worth selling him if we got near the money that we bought him for to be honest. I don't trust Mcleish and his signings though. He'll be straight off to the Scottish leagues [:l] 

4-2 after that comeback is crushing 

Loved the team though.
 
12 academy players in the side.

Reckon we'll get anything out the liverpool game?

Baker and Clark are going to be a great defensive partnership.

le sigh @ us. Although a point against Liverpool is a decent result, it's just summed us up of late really, not being able to hold onto a lead.
Reckon Mcleish will still be around next season?
I quite frankly just want this season to finish.

Random thought I had earlier, what happened to Makoun? Despite the loss he really impressed me when you lot played at OT last season.

Punch

Went on loan to Olympiacos, No idea how he has done, Wikipedia says he has played 17 games.

Some people are dissappointed we lost a lead yesterday.
 
While I too was frustrated, look at their age and how little many players in our team had actually played in this league. They got a draw at Anfield. Well done lads!
 
All we need now is too beat Stoke and/or Bolton and we'll be fine.

Aye, same with the Chelsea game, the youngsters were matching players who have massive amounts of experience at high levels.

L Young  
Walker 
Reo Coker
Downing
A Young
Pires
Makoun
Carew
Bradley
Beye
 
Players who were unavailable yesterday...
 
Dunne
Bent
N'Zogbia
Delfouneso
Delph
Petrov
Clark
Cuellar
Albrighton
 
I think it was a pretty good result yesterday.. but imagine the team we could put out from that lot!
 
 

Play like we have in the last two games and I think we'll win today, the young players might be too tired though.

7 points above the drop zone now. Becoming more comfortable now. Beat Bolton and job's a goodun.

A victory tomorrow would really make me feel better about our whole potential relegation. I think three points against Sunderland would almost sort us out, and it would leave us safe if other results also go our way.
 
Come on lads!!!!

I'm fucking shitting it. We need a win so badly. C'mon boys lets do this.

Froy

I'm ****ing ****ting it. We need a win so badly. C'mon boys lets do this.

Me too, if I'm honest.
 
It doesn't help that in two of the actual deciding games we're against serious rivals for me personally. First off, Martin O'Neill tomorrow, and then The Baggies at The Hawthornes. Getting relegated would be soul-destroying enough in itself, but getting relegated at the hands of MO'N and West Brom?
 
Doesn't bare thinking about.
 
Although, that being said, I genuinely have faith in the players we've got to go out tomorrow and get a result. Just depends on how the manager sets them up...

It is going to be like Titus Bramble on one of his victims.
