Are you saying that we are not playing more kids this season than previously?
I believe we are and the reason being because he has to. Either because he needs to because he has nobody else to play or has been asked by the owner to play them by hook or by crook.
I think Mick is just trotting out the party line to stay in the good books of the powers that be at the club.
He isn't going to say 'The club are tighter than a submarine door and our squad is threadbare' is he? He would be out on his 'arris the day after.
Don't get me wrong here, some of our senior pros have been as bad as anybody. We don't just start producing kids that are good enough just because we decide to go with youth though. Sorry, it doesn't happen like that.
Is the cost cutting, playing kids and letting players leave without replacing them working? Look at the league table.
