Snowflake RoyalYorkshireRoyal99 But rely on your biased judgement where we don't watch these players play on a daily basis? Also, harsh to say that P.Ince has failed, would say in the main he's actually been pretty successful, we are just having a tough time of it at the moment, understandably so to some extent.
No discuss on merits rather than appeal to authority. Many of these players have already featured in the first team and performed well. I'm not suggesting throwing an unknown 15 year old in at the deep end.
I didn't say Ince has failed, I said his predecessors had.
And what sample are we looking at? Abrefa, for example, has 34 minutes of Championship football under his belt, he got booked against Cardiff. Did he do anything especially wrong/disastrous? No. did he prove capable? I'm not sure, it's too hard to judge based on just 34 minutes of league football. Does he deserve more of a chance? I'd say yes, but the management say otherwise. We are literally playing a winger at wing back and if not then Mbengue, who we've all established is not comfortable there, before Abrefa, so what does that say about where we think these players are?
There are a few rumblings that Jahmari Clarke should have got more of an opportunity, but he's currently playing in the National League. If those are the types of players that our fans want us to be using more and becoming more reliant on, then we are going to run into some real problems. You don't have to make mistakes to look not good enough for the level you're playing at. Again, this isn't the case in every scenario, some might flourish when brought in, but all I've seen so far is some valiant effort from our academy lads and have produced occasional bits of quality in moments, but with no consistency. Promising, but that's it for now.
