Away at Reading and Brentford next week we have turn out our best 11 to compete. We shouldn't forget that Sang and Brown are in the team though and both have come through our youth set up to have a regular run in the team.

i agree...and you can add Began... he has given more game time to inexperienced youngters in 3 months than the last 6 managers did combined over 9 years and people are slagging him for not playing more...

I'm
No he hasn't if you look at it more deeply. Neither Sang or Brown really came through our youth system Brown came from somewhere else Wycombe I think and was about 19 or twenty when we signed him.True he did play a few games for the under 23s before being farmed out to Scotland for a couple of seasons before he got in the team. Sang was really a product of Man Utds youth system again he played a few games for our under 23s before being farmed out to Cheltenham. It is stretching a point to describe either as a product of our youth system or even that young.
The only product of our youth system to actually come through is Bagan and he came through under Harris. I have no doubt if Bennet was fit he would be on the bench, probably correctly.
In addition the only reason Sang got a game is both Jordi and Ng were injured and the same with Brown too. Apart from a 3 minute and 10 minute run out for Cowill he has pretty much ignored the under 23s when it comes to actually playing them.
Who are these inexperienced youngsters that you are referring to?

He was recalled by McCarthy as his mate in Scotland told him he was playing well up there. Also he can't fall under any sort of inexperienced youngster catagory as he played around 90 games for Bedford sports and Wealdstone not to mention a couple of seasons in the Scottish premier. Call him a reserve if you wish. Also in football terms 23 is no youngster.
