andrew1957 A few seasons ago we used to send out our up and coming young players on lengthy loans to League 1 and 2. Some benefited but I am wondering of the lower standard of play and coaching has hampered the likes of Davies and meant that they have not continued to develop. He did really well in his two seasons at Aldershot - but the last two seasons he has disappointed, as none of his loans spells have gone really well.
Maybe this is why we have not loaned out the likes of Taylor this season and kept him training with the first team squad and why we have sent the promising Walcott and Mills to Telstar - in a more technical league.
Sad to see Davies go but I think this was inevitable and really hope that the Wycombe manager (who knows him well) signs him up and gives him a chance.
I thought we kept Taylor because Brian thought he was good enough to compete, but then he got injured for a long period so was never really available for a Loan when he was missing out.
