And with Roy in charge why would any good young players we have want to stay knowing that they have no chance of game time.

I agree it would be nice in the ideal world that we are fielding youngsters in 'irrelevant' games but the elephant in the room, that everyone seems to be missing is the money. We ain't got a lot and each place in the prem is worth about 2 million!

What circumstances would those be? Relatively meaningless fixtures when the majority of the first team are woefully out of form? Isn’t that quite literally the ideal time to blood a couple of youngsters? I didn't see a "woefully out of form first team" against Man Ure or Chelsea for that matter. We need something out of the last two games for the squad's confidence, if nothing else. The games aren't meaningless in the context of our post-lockdown meltdown.

There is a reason why there is no changes made. Our bench is like something from a Sunday league. Maybe - but personnel isn't the only thing you can change. Formation, tactics, Jeez, even if it's get Zaha and townsend to swap wings some more(or at all)

Last played in 2016 Would be curious about you. February/March. Retired twice but decied at the end of last season to prioritise playing over trekking over to Selhurst rubbish that Hodgson expects us to pay for. You still haven't addressed any of my points btw. Typical of the type of posters that blindly support Hodgson. What would you do if someone was in charge of one of your teams, who was refusuing to change a losing side and showed no interestest in the long term sustainability of the club?

Take our last bench. 9 players. 5 of them have played internationally, including for England, Germany, and the Netherlands. Played - past tense of the word play.

The games aren't meaningless in the context of our post-lockdown meltdown. If we’re at a point now where people won’t even acknowledge we’re woefully out of form, there’s little point discussing. We’ve lost 6 in a row, failing to score in 5 of those. By absolutely any definition that’s a woeful run of form.

I was exaggerating with the Sunday league comparison but our subs bench as a whole is desperate. As for Meyer, being good enough for Germany at 19 means absolutely nothing right now when he can’t even get a kick for us. Roy may be 1 dimensional but there is a reason Meyer doesn’t play. He is not good enough to play.
