The problem we've had hasn't been that the kids aren't up to it, we've frequently chucked too many in at the same time and when they've had a tonking, they have looked around for a more experienced, mature player to gee them up and not got it. So spankings have turned into week after week of shot confidence and poor results.

Yep, how much better would we have been with a Senderos-type a couple of years earlier - especially when Vlaar was injured and a raw Clark and Baker were being paired and seeing the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Wigan scoring 12 in 3 against them. You could see that really affected Clark who had the captain's armband at the time.

If you have a core of strong, experienced players it becomes easier to bring younger players in.

We have Guzan, Vlaar, Delph, Hutton etc all playing now, all with xp. I really hope he starts putting Grealish on before N'Zogbia, but I have little faith.
