I see a lot of people worried that are signings are from the lower leagues , yet they are happy to promote are younger players.
What's better a player that has a 100 pr more games in div 1 or someone who has played mainly u23 football.
My view is they both have there place in a developing squad. And mix that with the players we already have , we may well find that the Team is stronger even if on paper the players are not |  |

I think most are slightly more concerned that we need one or two more senior player to compliment the mix of youth and lower league players. |  |

there was some absolute div on twitter y/day moaning about us signing lower league players, saying 'why do we have to pay championship ticket prices if we all have is league 1 players'. I genuinely wonder how these people cope with life. |  |

How many senior players do you think a club/team needs generally? And by experienced do you mean over a certain age, over a certain number matches in the Championship or Premier League or both? What age and how many matches? You might be surprised just how experienced the team is. |  |

Bialkowski, Knudsen, Chambers, Spence, Skuse, Ward, Waghorn (maybe), Garner, Sears, Bishop, Huws.
I think youre right in that there is actually a lot of experience in the above players who would all be contenders for the first XI. | |

Yep, but look at the CB slot - Chambo is it in terms of experience, sure Spence has played there but that's not his position.
it's not about the numbers but mix that with position. | |

Would you consider Donacien as experienced? He has 140 matches at first team League 2 level and is 24 years old. Spent time at Tottenham and Villa as a youth.
Surely a lot of it is actually about the personality and character. A young Roy Keane probably brought more experience to a side than Paul Gascoigne did towards the end of his career. | |

No, not a this level.
Edit: that's not to say I don't think he might do well. [Post edited 31 Jul 2018 15:06]

and there is thing. Does that mean he only plays alongside Chambers and never Woolfendon? With Bart organising the defence and the experience of Knudsen and Spence too I don't think it would be a problem as he is not a young lad and has played a good amount of professional football albeit at League 2 level. | |

Yeah, a good mix would be Chambo and Donacien. That seemed to be the point of the OP.
The defence would have heaps of Champ experience with Bart, Knudsen, Chambo and Spence. | |

My point is that for some games if Chambers is unavailable I wouldn't see Donacien (assuming he is good enough) with Woolfendon as too inexperienced. Even if it is, Spence or Knudsen (or even Skuse) could be shifted in there instead. | |

Were we to sign TIlt or Nsiala this shouldn't be the issue anyway.
Either would be significantly more experienced than Woolfendon. | |

So your view is that buying players who have played lower league is a step forward from our own younger players , or do you just mean the CB position ? | |
