A great pundit once said, 'you'll win nothing with kids'. The rest as they say, is history.

But all those players that Alan Hansen famously mentioned on MOTD in 1995 were the cream of youth football from one the top 5 Premier League Clubs and had played together over a number of years with full time coaching and a manager with a top pedigree who would be regarded later as a legend in the game and were not individuals who have known each other a short time. That’s the difference.

And it was only half of the team that we're "kids". As good as some of our young players are, you need to have experience around you especially in thus league. I've not seen many teams come to Hayden road in the prem central and pretty dreadful. Lowestoft and biggleswsde wernt too bad and they were relegated. A centre half and a forward/striker would give us a more realist chance of competing. As I see it at the minute, we have a relegation dog fight on our hands at best.
