Seems to me that bringing as many home grown players through to the first team has changed. Under Olly that seemed to be a priority of the Board, but Smc seems to have changed that strategy with experience being brought in. I would expect most to move on. Smyth may go out on loan though.
Olly did eventually start giving more youth players a chance, yes. That said, he didnt get the most out of what we did have.
On paper our defense looks weaker since the Summer window, yet Macca is doing well with what he had.
Either way, the goal has to always be to get promotion? Even if you know staying up would be great?
BIG difference tonking an Under-23's to playing in the league but the signs are there of a decent pool of talent to come through the ranks.
The flipside of which, you can only beat what’s put in front of you. There’ve been several results like this now. Encouraging signs of some real talent emerging and developing under the expert tutelage of Hall and Ramsey.
it's a great problem to have imo and a much much better situation to be in than 2-3 years ago. selection problems are brilliant for the team, they provide competition for places etc but right now there's absolutely no need to mix things up by dropping players in favour of younger players. i do agree though that younger players should be given more of a chance from the bench, there's been a few games recently where bright or smyth should have been brought on as a sub to stretch their legs.
We will need these young players,remember we can't bring anyone in during January and we will pick up injuries along the way.
This! Maybe this "problem" we have will help as the season progresses and the inevitable injuries and suspensions mount, we're libel to lose a first teamer or 2 in the January window so I see opportunities for the youngsters who are up to it!

Not so sure personally. Maybe at Ipswich or late on against Sheff Weds but most recent games the subs have been spot on to ensure the 3 points are taken.
