Sam Byram

In fact, it's a very young team as well.

But through clever recruitment, through good... good sales really and it sounds ridiculous to say we've been able to put ourselves in a position that has allowed us to assemble this squad I mean yesterday like Sam Byram comes onto the pitch and I know he looked a bit rusty and you were kind of thinking why is he bringing Sam Byram on but Just to give Neto Borges that little bit of a rest.

And there's multiple other positions on the pitch that we could talk about.

I think, just going back to Bert Halter for a moment, it's the biggest bit of credit that I can give him as of right now and as of the last couple of games is...

But anyway, Borough made some changes.

We did see Sam Byram come on to get some minutes, which was good.

Per Harris, Aston, Sarmiento and David Stratz got some minutes as well, which was good to see.

But it was important that Borough won today because... well West Ham were in the top four or five but yeah every single side who currently occupy the top seven won so I think you're looking at maybe four of the top five five of the top six all won this weekend so it was important Borough won too and they all had tough games to be fair Swansea swatted aside Blackburn 4-0 Wolves swatted aside Cardiff 3-0 they were both difficult games West Ham lost to West Brom 3-1, which is a shocker.

going back the other way but you did say in that one as well Farker's done a brilliant job but sometimes can be frustrating with his substitution so I think it's something we all feel isn't it there's the practical side it's the heart and the head isn't it it's the heart and the

head it's the promise of something exciting as well on the bench and because you have memories of young players coming in and just doing well you saw Archie Gray and if you go back you can remember Alan Smith and Johnny Woodgate and you know willie nonto as well sam byram and these people who came into the team almost from nowhere and were good enough and stayed there but you don't remember all the ones that came on for you know a dozen minutes in a game never really seen again although there was a bit of a clamor for i'm thinking back to people like ryan edmondson remember there was that it was it was the end of the hecking bottom season admittedly and everyone was like well the fuck knows what we do frankly we're shit just try something else but then

just be careful here we we represent ryan

but you put someone on and then it turns out he's not the he's not the saviour and like people go oh you know just throw Elliot Kebbe on random names that you've heard of that's

not many swap theirs for right back and two centre halves.

They have two ex-leads, fullbacks, Ayling and Sammy Byram.

They don't play them though.

Well, whenever they play Ayling, it's just a disaster at the moment.

Yeah.

He's also said, "Defo need a CDM and another forward in January." Um, Chris Todd has put Sam Byram or Conor Barron.

We haven't seen either, have we?

No, we haven't, mate.

No, no, no.

We, um, we've seen Sam Byram away at Crystal Palace.

Um, but we haven't seen anything of Conor Barron yet.

Mm.

Mm.

I suppose you look at it as last year at Arsenal we had Jack Harrison on, Sam Byram on the bench-

Yeah.

[laughs]

Um, but when I saw them patched up for that Carabao Cup game at, at Sellars Park, albeit against Premier League opposition, um, you know, can Luke Ayling continue to, to be called upon? There's, there's one or two others as well who, you know, are on the, on the fringes maybe that are gonna have to get game time.

Um, Sam Byram would be another one.

Um, the lad whose name that always escapes me.

Uh, Alfie Jones, another one.
