The young players do have to prove themselves and probably are under more scrutiny from managers and coaches simply because they are at the developmental stage in their career, it could go either way. The three senior players that i mentioned are not, and they aren't going to get any better, their development isn't really under scrutiny any more, although if performance is poor then they'll be dropped or bombed. Different stages of career have different expectation and scrutiny levels in my opinion.
It's fair enough but I dont think you need to dig out a young player in public. If you're going to dig anyone out, do it to a senior pro who can take it. As Bellamy said, Morison is very thin skinned.
