The kids are doing ok. I’m sure all coming through at same time in a struggling team isn’t the ideal path for their development but it’s needs must unfortunately. Some of them have been out on loans lower down the pyramid to get some experience, but some of them have been thrust straight into the current shit show and no one has really let themselves down yet.

Maybe it’s the lack of kids breaking through for so long but some people need to have a bit more patience with them and stop writing some of them off after barely a handful of games.

I was listening to Danny Gabbidon recently and he said the kids will be inconsistent but with more and more experience, if they are talented enough and have the right attitude, then that consistency will come.
