Deano can say he gave some players a chance to impress and they failed.
This was a feature of the Bruce period as well, on the occassions that young or fringe players had a chance they rarely took it and gave him selection problems.
I just think it's entirely the wrong way to be going about things as far as the young players are concerned. Somebody like O'Hare should be getting 20-30 minutes at the end of league games. Just thrusting them into some dog's arse of a team in a one off cup game and saying "there you go, you've got once chance to impress me" achieves absolutely nothing as far as I can see. Think back to when we had the likes of Albrighton making cameo appearances for Young and Downing in the Pubehead days. A much better way of going about things in my opinion. Because let's face it, how many games has Hogan influenced when coming on as a sub? How many goals has he scored when coming off the bench? He normally has about 4-5 touches tops, amd does absolutely nothing.
Absolute bloody lutely . Needs more playing experience than in a judgement on a make shift team .
Players need run of matches.
Hopefully bree can have a run at right back for example .
The soft cheese namesake like many others haven't had much opportunity .
Once injured they seem to be repeatedly injured and never up to speed because they don't get match time minutes at intense level.
Under 23 isn't the same.
