We did go too far away from youth and our U23 players.
I don't see why we needed Sanderson when we had Masterson and Kakay. They could have filled that role and picked up experience. For the odd game Duke-McKenna or Bettache could have filled in instead of Hendrick. After Marshall we should have given Mahoney a chance in net.
However - I don't believe many if any of these players are good enough long term.
Every year players leave and rarely do they prove us wrong. Recently the likes of Oteh, Smyth, Petrasso, Ehmer, Doughty and many more have all proven they weren't good enough for this level. I'm yet to be convinced that Bettache, Shodipo, Owens and the others are anywhere near good enough.
Yes they could have been given a few more opportunities, but if Les and co think our future is safe with those players we are doomed.
The youth players coming through need to improve greatly if we are going to rely on them as years go by.
