Some guy on the HDM website is beating the drum for Gavin Hoolahan saying he should be given a run out in the first team and has all the skills needed to give the midfield a lift?? Thoughts anyone?

I think he should be given at least a couple of games this season, to see how he does, but if he's not even making the bench then I'm sure there's a very good reason for it. In NP I trust.

its holohan and as a regular reserve team attendee for a few seasons and a big fan, i d say he isnt too far off but he still gives the ball away too much for my liking. he is a lesser tom cairney but he isnt ready for first team football yet. i hope soon
 
To be honest I don't know enough about his ability to comment, but this does bring into focus, to me at least, how stupid the change in subs rules have been in the Championship, with managers now down to 5 subs on the bench rather than 7 it makes it even less likely that young players are going to get a chance. Ridiulous rule.
 
to what end?
i say get em training with the first team!!!

I'm pretty sure these players who are still young, but aren't youth team any more, do train with the first team.

There was a point under a previous manager (can't remember which) who had these players training in a seperate 'development squad' but it didn't go down well.
