Maybe lockyer has changed his mind about retirement?

Well I didn't see Thacks as a starting halfback for SL but I definately thought we'd keep him as utility backup for a number of positions.

Netherton, yes ok cya.
Ford, has been ok recently, but he's not a SL centre.
Gerrard is strong, hardworking and has potential, but I've not seen SL quality in him either, so ok i guess.

Announcing this now? why? We have plenty of other players with less quality than these 4, seems odd to single them out while the likes of Pickersgill are still walking this earth.

Hasn't Thackery been playing at Full Back though? Not suprised he hasn't been playing well if thats the case?

No more than about 2 hours at FB in total.

He has not played well this season and really there were calls for Danny Craven to play at Stand Off.

The timing of this is puzzling to say the least, Thursday is going to be interesting.I think we all knew that Netherton and Ford probably wouldn't come up but Thacks would have been a cert' and Gerrard still has potential IMO with youth on his side and full time training he could have been a useful squad member. Who will be next I wonder?

Exactly my thinking on all of that!

What will this do for those players? Inspire to prove TOC and PC wrong or just make them play sh*t.

Also in the article it says that they wont be part of the first team so i'm just wondering if Gerrard will be in the reserves ???

Maybe we're going to see a bit more of the young lads to see how they go,but bringing D/Rs in isn't going to help their cause.
