Yeovil were extremely dominant physically so other opponents may be less problematic for him But I do think it's hard to see how such a midget can be a number 9 in the modern game
Well he definitely isn't over 6 foot is he
I've read a lot of people criticising Bruce's post match comments. Perhaps they would prefer a manager to say something like "We were excellent", when actually we were poor?
Its true if you never play them and integrate them slowly. Davis did not do too bad when he came through last season but we virtually never saw him after Christmas think about chances last season when he couls have given run outs to Green, RHM, JDH, Davis and O'Hare or at the very least keep them involved with the first team squad and give them a cameo here and there. Instead we get to play other peoples loanees and give them the experience.That to me just sums up that he is not trying to build anything but just wants a short term fix.

Davis got plenty of chancesThe only hard luck story of that crew really is O'Hare who got very limited chances and by all accounts wasn't allowed go on loan either. The reality is loanees like Snodgrass were vastly superior to some of the options above, though Bruce should certainly have rotated a lot more last season.To be honest I wouldn't see the job of the manager to build anything long term, that should be the responsibility of the CEO or director of football.
