I'm not sure what Bowyer would have learned about the youngsters he picked or whether they would've have gained much benefit from that experience. I would have liked MM to have introduced Bowen instead of Murphy maybe, but he has given Colwill, Sang & Bagan some useful game time so far and put Harris on today for a decent spell so I think he's serious about blooding the youngsters albeit cautiously. I'd like him to do more but I prefer his way than what Bowyer did with Brum today.
