    Why? He's 21 years old and hasn't played senior football in his life, why do you think he's the answer at right back?

    He needs a loan out somewhere so we can get an idea of how good he is and whether he could replace Peltier. Throwing him in now when we're trying to establish ourselves as a play-off contender would be naive and frankly, stupid.

    Sometimes I think I must have imagined us giving a first team debut to a seventeen year old Chris Gunter at right back when we were top of the Championship or that we played an eighteen year old Joe Ralls in a League Cup Semi Final or that the team which won the title in 12/13 quite often had a nineteen year old Ralls and/or Nugent in it.

    I don't know whether Coxe would prove himself good enough for our first team if he was selected tomorrow, but I'm baffled by this attitude which seems to have become commonplace in recent years that giving a 21 year old youth product a league debut is too much of a risk.

    We will never know unless he is given a chance.
    Just because Warnock would not give him a thought means nothing.

    I didn't say he should be played. What I did say is he should hand in a request, as the club clearly aren't interested in him playing senior football for us. And you can add that to every single player in the academy top to bottom. If he can't do it at 21, and we aren't loaning him out, then either he should show a bit of endeavour and aim to prove to club wrong elsewhere, or we should get him off the wage bill, regardless of how big or small his wages are. Waste of everyones time.
