In my opinion it has gone how I thought it might. Some showing some promise but are quite rough round the edges with others just basically looking like Under 23 kids in a fully pro league.

They need to be introduced more gradually into a squad that has more experience and are not getting beaten every week for me.

Many said it was fine throwing the kids in if we stayed up. As it is the only thing keeping us out of the bottom three is Derby's points deduction.

How do you lot think they've done?
Hard to tell due to the senior players not stepping up..
