    Professional football seems to be largely a game of close friends playing against more distant friends and occasional coming up against old teammates playing in different leagues and countries. The requirements of having lots of talent, and the ability to work hard and be physically strong, may be tough but it's right a old boys club. And they get paid to do it too.

    Not knocking it. It's a charmed position to be in.

    Oh, and I also hope Sam proves me wrong.

    Tugged at my heart strings a little that, still wish we'd kept hold of McCarthy too, just so pleasing to see academy players involved and he looks a good'un to me. But still, don't know the specifics so can't condemn how we handled it and should still have a lot involved. Really want Gallagher, Stephens, Sims and Hesketh given a proper crack, maybe starting as subs and then using the League Cup as a springboard to see if they merit some league starts (Though we know Stephens does). Massive source of pride in the club for me, the more youth players we have the better, happy to take the drop in short-term quality level to bring them through.

    Sam saying he feels more like a first team player....this is the true value of sending a young player on loan to a team where he is appreciated and valued. Of course it doesn't always work out.
