Joking aside, another of our through the ranks lads ending up in the non league. So hard for these lads to get a break nowadays.
Do you think they deserve a break though arriba? If they're good enough then surely it's obvious (to a coach)?
I really don't think we should be giving youngsters time in the first team because they've looked OK playing with other kids and half-arsed reserves. They should earn their place like the rest of the squad and if they've trained with the squad their standard is surely able to be contrasted against those already at the expected level.
Good players stand out - Henshall, Jutkiewicz, Mills, Morrison, Tozer, Pook, Kennedy, Holgate, Macklin, Zebroski, Carayol. Some of them were taken before they got a chance (such was their ability) and others, even after having a chance and seeming to be good enough, proved to not be so (either after moving on to bigger things, or lesser things). I'd say in some respects the past shows that we've yet to get it wrong.
