A Left Back to take Ryan's place? It appears to be Sean Roughan a 17 year old Irish defender with Lincoln City. 1 down after 8 minutes! 2 Down after 22 minutes. Boys against men as usual.
B team is so poor. Getting beat most weeks doesn't seem like productive development. We need a shake up throughout.
Has actually made a few League One appearances this year at 17. Is soon to be our most experienced left back.
