I just thought I would post this for comment and debate.
We scrapped our reserve team 2 seasons ago and have since relied on friendly matches and loans for our reserves. I am not too sure if this has worked in our favour.
Our reserves no longer play weekly competitive matches and if they go on loan to other lower teams they may get experience, if chosen to play, but Spurs lose their services from anything from a month to a season. Bearing in mind we are now in the CL with increased matches to play and also our current injury list, is the Club restricting its options.
Also the lack of weekly competitive reserve team football must have a bearing on the overall fitness of the squad.
I will be interested to see your comments. I for one would like to see the re-establishment of our reserve team.
