I hope he gets some playing time. I think its time to give our youngsters a chance, don't you. It can't hurt! And, what about a young defender to replace De(ad) Vos...any takers???

He can't really do much worst than the others.

Fingers crossed he will get a chance. If he does I expect him to impress.

Think Royle needs to give the youngsters a good blast - even if it only makes the more experienced players up their performance levels!!

I agree . I saw a very good post on TWTD (I think), whcih said that Joe should forget all about reaching the top 6 ...ie take the pressure off a bit. But just use this season for what it is - a transitional one ..and give the youngsters a chance to spread their wings a bit and gain experience.

There's a lot to be said for that ..so long as it doesnt work against the kids confidence ..and put us at (even more) risk of getting sucked into a relegation battle !
