    Kelly got sent off last week for a professional foul so would have been suspended

    19's keeper is only in his second year as a keeper. Weston have a solid defence and will keep teams to low scores but finding goals will be the problem imo.

    And Pratt left after being benched in round 1 yet to hear where he is going to play. To good to not be playing.

    Keeper sent off today for Adamstown was Paul Bitz, who was recently signed as back up to Carter whilst he is serving his 4 week suspension, regular U/22's keeper came on to complete the remainder of first grade.

    Correct
    But I believe the club know this, hence Pascoe
    They know that next year they have problems, this years 22's are mostly over 20, 19's are mostly over 18
    And 17's are currently 8th so years if neglect still showing there

    But pascoe's links to youth thru HSH and old jets youth contacts could bring some hope

    Is this the same keeper that has leaked 20plus goals in 4 games

    Just need to ensure they get a few results so there is a next year.

    Nothing stopping them fixing the problem by recruiting in from other NPL clubs whether that be seniors of juniors to strengthen their lower grade sides.

    Instead of just focusing on first grade go look at a few younger blokes at other clubs and bring them in with the view of bringing them up to first grade in 3-4 years time.

    Then get around to strengthening their NPL Yoof teams so the problem is fixed permanently

    They are a buying club not a developing club, its the way it works in the NPL

    Northern aren't worrying about results for the next 3 years are they? I thought it was just about meeting the criteria.

    Which is a pity and blight on the local game.

    I'm not sure the quality of the surface is given much weighting, Northern focus on amenities, referees rooms and toilets for all the spectators.

    Personally I think it should be all about how much you have in the bank and whether you can sustain yourself financially in the league, rest is immaterial.

    Name a club that has been relegated recently that wasn't in the bottom half financially. The points system/salary cap didn't work.

    After 5 rounds and seeing everyone play, here are my predictions
    1st magic. They have too much firepower in the front third and are strong all over the park.
    2nd olympic. Quality squad and will push magic all the way. Best Defence in como but won't score enough goals
    3rd edgeworth. Just below the top two. Really are missing Walker and McBreen yet to score. If they are to win the comp maccas needs to start scoring
    4th maitland. Big spending on a new coach and players should see them sneak into 4th place. The addition of Clarke will help with the lack of goals
    5th Charlestown. Had a great start to the year but have had the easy side of the draw. can't see them getting many points out of edgy,magic and olympic over the next free weeks
    6th jaffas. Seem an unhappy camp since the departure of previous coach. Same playing roster as last year nearly struggling to adapt to new regime
    7th weston. Always competitive as shown by 0-0 draw with magic. Defensively sound but I can't see where their goals are coming from
    8th valentine. A few injuries will test their depth. Yet to play edgy magic or Olympic and can see one or two blowouts here.
    9th adamstown. 5 send offs in 5 games including their keeper 3 times. How do they recover from this .
    Last jets youth. Too many young players not ready for this level. Defensively poor which has a lot to do with their age. Luckily no relegation this year

    Didn't know this was the EPL thread.

    What I am referring to is that I don't think a wealthy club has been relegated from our top division for sometime.
