Recruitment hasn't been the best and we bizarrely never replaced Wayne. 

but is this also a recruitment issue in our Academy? are they selecting players all of the same type? 

We should be looking at covering all bases

Replace Waine with what? Waine? Probably should have just kept Waine if that’s what you want. 
Waine was replaced before he left. that’s what the academy players are promoted for. People need to remember Waine brought nothing to the side in the beginning. Then he started getting some game time and learning. Same was said of Sutts when he started, then he had a run of games and suddenly he was ‘undroppable’
Seems to be a bit of “Uffie is really good at developing players…oh, but don’t play any developing players, just play developed ones” 
Personally I think if he played them a bit more they’d be more developed now. Bringing players on for injury time to wind down the clock doesn’t help them develop or integrate them into the team. And that goes for Sasse too.

As for Academy players being same type, you should maybe watch some of them. Paulsen, Surman. Oldie, OvH all the same are they? 
Elliot, Sutts, Rufer, Waine, Sarpreet Libby, before them.
GK, CB, LB, RB, CDM, CAM, wingers/strikers… exactly how many bases are not being covered here?
