I disagree, I just think reserve team football isnt really any kind of standard and I doubt you would get any decent "Manager" interested in the job.

They have zero control in players bought and sold and basically given the "scraps" of the first team and young lads learning the game.

Agreed mate. It's nonsense getting worked up over the stiff's results. They're there for first teamers to get match fitness and younger prospects to play in a system which if they learn well enough will help them slot in to what the club, and more specifically the first team manager, expects from them.

Do you not think it would be more beneficial to them to be playing in a semi-competetive league and actually learning a winning mentality at every level though?

As for coaching the clubs coaches train them, stubbs just takes control of match days.

Its purely a stepping stone.

And it should be judged as such.

And to answer Beardo.

United are the most "successful" reserve team, they are manged by some bloke called Warren Joyce, who actually managed Hull for 2 seasons. ;o!!!!

Christ its that bad that Spurs havent even entered a team for donkeys.

First teamers no longer play for the reserves.

Trivia note - I was actually coached by Warren Joyce as a kid! When I was about 8 and played for a junior side called Penlake in St Helens. He was playing for Preston at the time, and came along one week to coach us all. I think our manager at the time knew him. I thought nothing of this at the time - had never heard of him- but years later found out who he was.

Used to play against Penlake when I was a kid for St Annes. They had the best pitches going.

For Moyes is also the reserve manager. It's not like Stubbs decides who play and can do what he likes with formations and tactics etc.

Players who've already broken into the first team do. It serves it's purpose keeping them ticking over.

This was the EFC reserves team that played Reading on Friday night:

Taudul, Browning, Garbutt, Lundstram, Duffy, Hammar, Grant, Junior, Vellios, Kelly, Kennedy.

Only Vellios and Duffy there who have 1st team experience, and Duffy might be sent out on loan soon. Garbutt played 45 mins in a cup game. It's been like that all season too. The key is in the title of the renamed league - 'Under 21s'.

The likes of Coleman, Gueye, Anichebe, Mucha who were on the bench vs WBA and will probably be again vs Newcastle didn't feature, and that's always the case. When you're in the first team squad of 18, you don't usually play for the reserves nowadays.
