Is this lad another one of Barry's rehabilitation projects? https://http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2011/11/04/jamie-reckord-has-future-at-wolves-despite-suspended-sentence-for-assault/

Maybe his personal reason is that he like to be paid - nobody at the club has been paid yet for June.

Wages late again this month - players not paid yet.

It's a different Ryan Ellison, the one who was a Latics youth has signed for Stockport.

Lafferty looks a long way off being match fit.

Unless something changes they won't. They'd be better advised to drop to non-league and get some game time rather than spend the next year or two suffering like the current crop.

What about the young left back we already have at the club?

Wasn't it mentioned recently that games were to be arranged to assess Fuller and Brandy - if this is the case it's beyond me why they can't be arranged on a regular basis for players we already have on the books. Surely between 2 1st team coaches and Tony P arrangements could be made on a regular basis.

Another 19 year old with no senior competitive experience. Is it really worth continuing with a youth policy if we're happy to bring in youngsters from other clubs over homegrown players?

Cassidy's fractured his leg and done his ankle ligaments. I think we can cut him some slack there.

But where do you draw the line? Turning out for the Rose and Crown on a Sunday morning is a chance to play against men. Some of the younger players performed really well pre-season, especially Edmondson and Truelove so where do you look to loan them? One of Johnsons many failings was his complete refusal to develop players but I'm not sure sending lads out to Evo Stik clubs is beneficial. Conf North should be the minimum standard.

Were they loaned out at a higher level prior to going to Barrow & Droylsden? I must admit I've only seen a bit of Bove pre-season so it's hard to judge as is the case with the 1st years with the exception of Edmundson. He and Truelove had very good pre-seasons - should they be loaned out to teams at Ashtons level to aid their development?

Have to agree with this, he was loaned out to Conf North last season and is now going a level below. 1st year pro's shouldn't even be playing at the Evo-Stik level.

Coleman Wilson - Wilson - Burn - Mills Croft - Kelly - Jones - Winchester Turner - Cassidy

I can only see Green being a fringe player this season - looked to me in pre-season as if he needs a lot of coaching and certainly won't fit into a 4-4-2. Will struggle to play wide as we saw against Blackburn and Jones and Kelly have the starting spots for centre mid.
