Apparently the brainstrust at SS believe that lyon is a fool and should stack the team with 18 y.o.s and lose every game.
Well they got that for rounds 1 to 8. Since then the kids who have DESERVED a game, Mac, Armo, and Steven have received games.
I know you're trying to be a smart ass and let everyone know how good you think you are, and beat your chest saying me, me, me, me, me, as if anyone here cares, but you might want to at least get your facts straight. I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, as I haven't got time to read the whole thread, but he most certainly didn't "stack the team with 18 y.o.s. for rounds 1 to 8".
In fact the thing most were critical on here and elsewhere of, after round one, was that he had picked the "same old same old's" and it wasn't until we got off to the really bad start for the year that he did start really "playing the kids", because everything else he tried
wasn't working. He certainly didn't resort to that because we were flying on all cylinders!

That then seemed to rejuvenate the side and since then they've gotten their mojo back and we have reverted back to mainly playing the older ones and the ones who most "deserve" a game, but I very much doubt we'd have gotten our year back on track if he hadn't shaken things up by "playing the kids". It has also created a lot more healthy competition for spots among the list. It has also helped unearth the likes of Jack Steven and as I saw someone else correctly mention, I expect Cripps and Ledger would both still be playing a part (or at least pushing hard for their spot back) if they hadn't gotten injured. Their pace, spark and goalkicking ability could be sorely missed if we go deep into the year.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.
