Snowflake Royal YorkshireRoyal99 Snowflake Royal Funny how many of our 'aren't ready for the Championship' young players go on to play there, or equivalent, successfully elsewhere.
10 games in the Championship with us > 20 games in the SPL with Kilmarnock for his development imo.
Same with Camara, should be getting minutes.
Reckon Clarke has a good chance of scoring as many as Long, as he did with Carroll, if given game time too. Although he probably could do with a loan at a lower level before being called on too much here.
I know what you are saying but, let's be fair, if these players (namely Clarke and Camara) aren't getting any minutes in a game like Blackpool, where we needed more bodies going forward as we were chasing the game, we may be best off just sending them out on loan for consistent game time and minutes.
Particularly as Clarke and Camara will rarely start games, it may be best for them to go and get 30/40 games elsewhere, even L1/L2 level for a season, impress, and then come back in next year a better player, rather than a dozen sub appearances in games at this level.
That's basically accepting crap management so you might as well send them out. I think they can do better than a dozen sub appearances, and that playing less at a higher level is just as good.
Look at Olise - gradually forced his way into a regular. Or Richards - same deal. Or Rinomhota, although he went from half a season to two thirds to a full one so a bit quicker off the bat. Had we not been desperate, and with a manager willing to take chances, I expect Rino would have left for L1 and have passed us, just like Dickie etc.
There's no point getting into specific examples really as for the one's we can name, we could probably name dozens more where it hasn't worked out as well. But your point about going down to L1 and then passing us is exactly why some should go out on loan, so they can go down to L1, improve and impress and then be on the up with us. Handy clubs like Wycombe, Oxford and Swindon that are local and is a good level to play at, that's where we want our best youngsters going for a season. Ultimately, it's a player-by-player basis though, it won't work for every player, some players it might though.
Olise, Richards, Rino etc it may work (baring in mind Richards wasn't thrown in like the others) but for some like Cooper, Dickie, Stacey, Fosu etc it has worked where they can drop down for a season or two and work their way (back) up again, particularly if they either aren't trusted or simply aren't capable at this level yet, which is what Ince seems to be alluding to.
