Comments on: Solution to our problems in reserve? http://nffcblog.com/2008/03/13/solution-to-our-problems-in-reserve/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

There appears to be some great talent coming through the ranks and I was especially impressed with Mark Byrne who showed maturity well beyond his years. Reading the various comments over the last few days about moving reserve players into the first team, its worth saying whilst Emile Sinclair is a star in the reserves, his rawness is very evident when he comes on as a sub for the first team, which to me, at least, demonstrates there IS a huge gulf between reserve and first team football. Without doubt, choosing the time to make that transition is where the skill of the reserve team coach lies. Paul Hart was a genius at developing young talent to make that very difficult jump up in class but Im hoping Pemberton can demonstrate the same nous.
