We need some experienced players and quick, the old pro's are on the downside of their careers. We cannot expect the " kids " to achieve anything as they are not ready/not good enough. I rate the 3 above.

You are probably right about the 3 you listed as being the only ones worth anything at present, although you would probably get money for the keepers as top teams often take a punt on untried keepers (Bywater going from Rochdale to West Ham having played about 3 games).
But at the moment they are all very raw US. Fraser, Chamberlain, Cox, Robinson, Lynch and Rents all have potential and 5 out of those 6 have not looked out of place when given the opportunity. Chamberlain still hasn't had his chance yet but it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Rubbish. The others need a bit of time to gel. They're all mates and play for each other.
Personally, I love the fact that we have so many local lads representing our club.
If we have a nucleus of Sussex lads sprinkled with a bit of experience we will be fine.

The next one to watch I do think will be Cobbs, he already seems to be stronger than Rents.

Fraser - I meant Championship

Watching Cobbs in the youth team last year and seeing him walking up to training once I couldn't believe he was a 1st year scholar. Very strong, good on the ball, quick, nice left foot and seemed to make all the right decisions. I think he will definately overtake Rents at some point.

I apologise I may have been a little over harsh , they are trier and may cut it but I geniunely think at the moment only 3 are good enough at the moment and worth any money.
The Bi Polar was not helped by my friend McGhee's sacking and I am now looking at mortgage broking opportunities and flats in the Edinburgh area thanks TLO.

The problem is at best he is 5th in the pecking order, probably 6th.
He is on a 2 year deal, so loan him out for the rest of the season.

Was it Alan Hansan who said " you never win anything with kids", just before Beckham and Giggs etc went on to win the Prem!
Much as I would love to see a team of home grown players out there, it ain't gonna happen for a hell of a long time, you always need a few older experienced players to steady the ship. Shame though, I'd love to see it.
