Too many players have failed to fulfil even modest potential under so many of our managers. There's a fundemental lack of assimilating players through to the first team that is a scandalous embarrassment for a club of our size. Despite the tweetings and bleatings of TF that youth will be given a chance and building from a youth set-up very little has actually been achieved and our youth team is still along way off producing the type of players who will become Championship-quality players.
Don't be fooled by one spectacular debut of a player who was not even 1st choice in the youth set-up most of the time he's been with us, we are a long way from having players that will either fit in or be given a fair chance, all the players just mentioned on this thread won't be regulars in the next two seasons unless we're relegated and even then I'd be surprised if it's more than a couple of them.
On the subject of Ollie, Burton will be a real test and if we lose it may be that TF will once again panic and the knee-jerk will see the same old same old as the previous two seasons. As for a replacement Warburton is available but perhaps we should look at a manager who has taken a side from the bottom of League One to the promotion places in less than a year on a shoestring and yesterday gave West Ham a run for their money playing some decent football, Paul Hurst has transformed Shrewsbury and his knowledge of lower league players would also be an advantage. He is the sort of manager we should be looking at with a track record of improving teams rather than some of the ill-thought out appointments we seem so good at making...
