I don't agree with the whole "we're crap at development" theory. Not many of our players who have left have become good footballers elsewhere. JK is the exception but there were exceptional circumstances there.
It is much more the case that we recruit the wrong players to start with. SOS sort of put that right but then our other main problem struck... amateurish board & management.
Then you've got to consider fitness.
We seem to be permanently 10-15 players down. What the solution is there I don't know.
Take the equivalent or Charlie, TDK, Parks, Newman, JSOS, Kemp, Caroll, Martin, Fisher, Marchbank, McDonald off the Port list, give us all of those players fit and re-run last week's game and see who wins. It is hard to judge the list build when you never get to see the list play.
