The thing is with all these comments about Roos' performance (and keepers in general down the years) it's a team game and nowhere is that more obvious and important than that partnership between keeper and central defence. You get an understanding as you learn what the others are going to do in certain situations and what their strengths are.
From a keeper perspective, if you find that you don't trust your central defence as they sometimes lose a man or regularly get outjumped then you find yourself coming for crosses that perhaps you wouldn't. Likewise, as a central defender, if your keeper gets caught flat footed on his line and doesn't deal with crosses then you find yourself perhaps stretching for a header that you'd ideally leave for the keeper, possibly resulting in failing to clear the lines properly or heading vertically and chaos ensues. The opposition also notice and then just keep swinging it into the same zone of uncertainty.
Confidence breeds confidence in the partnership between central defence and keeper and while we'd ideally have slightly younger versions of Jags and Davies, their decision making is honed by years of experience and the keeper really benefits from this because some of the more risky decision making is made for you.
Really pleased for Roos and the defence last night. That was a massive test and they showed huge determination and resilience. Sure, West Brom probably should still have won but you give yourself a shot of getting something from the game if you make the opposition score their goals rather than gifting them freebies.

Honestly can't see us getting anything out of this. Go toe-to-toe with attacking football and they are just man for man better than us and could take us to the cleaners. Go defensive and we won't score and I give us zero chance of holding out for 90 mins.
The points chucked away in our more do-able start are looking costly at the moment. Just can't see us winning too many games so we really need to manage the games where we get our noses out in front better. As for this game, well losing away at West Brom will not define our season so I don't think we need to dwell on any potential defeat here, but results like the capitulation from 3 points to zero in injury time at Peterborough might well be our undoing. Also, in a situation where we are stumbling along at a point a game, any points deduction above a pure token gesture looks terminal.
I won't be finger pointing if this one goes the way I expect, it's a properly tough fixture and arguably the toughest of the season so anything we get from this is a bonus. Two more toughies after this one but then the home games against Reading and Swansea already look massive for our season.

It means the companies can continue to operate without the risk of being struck off (i.e. ceasing to exist) in about six weeks time.

Forgive my total ignorance on the subject , but in layman's terms what do these announcements re Academy and Sevco actually mean ?

Obviously just my opinion and not based on any info but I would have thought that since the word in ITK circles seems to have have been that DCFC had in theory been working with the EFL to thrash out some sort of compromise deal then if that had been sorted then it should largely just be a rubber stamping exercise and we'd know by now. The fact that we have the same charges still showing on the EFL list and now a new one tends to suggest to me that we did not find that compromise position. That being the case I would expect shortly that we will see an announcement of some sanction from the EFL and we might then enter further purgatory of appeal and counter appeal and nothing will be resolved any time soon unless MM were to go for the nuclear option which is surely not particularly appealing to him but we don't know how much longer he can keep going like this.
If we are crippled by a points sanction that is designed to send us down then being out of the Championship and no longer within one good season of a spot in the EPL would make the club even less attractive option than its current already debt-ridden state. Likewise though, further delay, wrangling and uncertainty over appeals surely kills any potential takeover deal too because you don't know what you are buying.
In summary then, if we don't have a deal sorted with the EFL (which seems increasingly likely) then I think we could be in for a world of pain. Any potential buyer is surely going to be thinking that they would be better off picking up the pieces after administration as the debt levels are just huge. Even if MM did the old 'sell it for a quid' routine, what do you get for your money ? A huge stack of debt and no stadium. Unless MM were to voluntarily take a massive financial hit in the sale, who would want to buy ? Even if you were offered a good deal on stadium rental, you are are then lacking any real tangible asset for your money apart from the academy facility which is surely not going to be much of a carrot.

Knowing the expectation about this submission you'd hope that there would be some kind of statement, however brief. Then again, this is DCFC and the EFL so who knows right ? somewhere between a year and 48 hours would be my guess.
Gut feeling is that after all this time and wrangling that I just can't see 'Oh OK, that's fine, off you go Derby, good luck with the season'. The rules and measures seem poorly defined at best so.. *shrug* ..flip knows...

So no one knows any more than anyone else right now?
Lets just cool our jets, the absolute most we're likely to here today is "we confirm submission/reciept of outstanding documents" or "documents are still outstanding", probably after everyone's bedtime when they hope to get the news missed.

Amongst all this nonsense though, a nod to Curtis Davies. He's seen his fair share of bullcrap in his time here and is still willing to stick by us.
What a guy.

Not all players come through an academy are going to make it. Some are there to make up numbers for the academy squad so we can put out a team. Throwing them all in isn't right isnt right
Some players develop faster than others, some burst onto the scene & can play every game, some need bedding in, some are ready at 18 years old some don't develop until they're 22 - 23 year old. Thats both physically and mentally
It isn't about chucking them in and seeing if they sink or swim. You could chuck someone in & they sink but they could have well swam with the right guidance and bedding in. 
We're reliant on throwing in too many academy products in one hit. Some aren't ready for a 46 game season & it'll be damaging to their development 
It also shouldn't be morris' decision that academy players are ready. He employs far more qualified people than him to decide what is best for our team.
Im not saying mothball youngsters i just dont think its fair to throw 18 year olds in to match day squads potentially before they are ready   

I never post, but I do check in pretty regularly and browse around the topics here.  This forum is such a great source for keeping up with the club, and I just felt like chiming in today to shout out David and the moderators for the job they do here.  I have the utmost respect for the way this message board is run; and following this thread over the last couple days has only encouraged more admiration of the work you all do here.  
I appreciate David's patience and leadership in drafting the summary and pursuing clarifications, and thank you for the latest update Boycie.  Once again: I really appreciate this place, and I know that the work that goes into its maintenance goes too often unappreciated.

But how will them struggling in a team help their development? 

Looks like they've been consulting the Italians tackling manual in that top pic ?
