Not meaning to disrespect any other poster here, but the notion PC should pick a player to increase the chance of selling him on is totally ridiculous. No manager worth his salt, no matter the club or it's financial position, should ever, would ever pick a team around the thought process of trying to market a young player for sale.
Paul Cox should, and I'm in no doubt will pick 11 players for Saturday he thinks present the best chance of winning the game, because that's what it's about, above and beyond anything else. I personally think both Spiess and Lavercombe will have large part to play in the season, think they'll both be seen as equal in the eye's of PC.
Which ever keeper PC starts the season with I'll respect his decision and fully support both keepers, I would strongly advise all TUFC fans do the same, we simply can not afford to go down the same road as we did with Ricey, Spiess will play games, will concede goals, there will be no need to over analyse every goal he concedes.
Spiess played well against Exeter, think I saw him make one mistake in the whole game, well fork me, lets put the unless twort against a wall a shoot him. It has to be remembered that Lavercombe is only 18 and has just 5 senior games to his name, Lavercombe was faultless in those games agreed, but he's still in his honeymoon period, he hasn't hit that brick wall in his career yet that all players do, he'll have bad game somewhere down the line, how will he handle that, will his form and confidence suffer at any point, it might, it may not, who knows.
Lavercombe is a very young inexperienced player, Paul Cox has a duty of care, and a duty to help Lavercombe's career develop, protecting the player and the clubs asset, that's why I think he'll start with Spiess, but hey, I could well be wrong.
