Always say if they’re good enough, they’re old enough.
Ashford, Conte, Joel Colwill etc should have got more games at the end of last season.
I hope some get a chance tomorrow with a view to playing at Burnley if they do well.
But I also say that if they’re not good enough then they should go. Doesn’t matter if they’re an academy player, if they don’t offer much then there’s no point keeping them - Rubin Colwill I’m talking about you.

A breath of fresh air. Quick and direct his first thought was to attack. Suddenly everyone around me got excited and the atmosphere changed dramatically. I cannot see why he couldn’t stay start ahead of Tanner. What Bullit must do is give them an gi and just tell them to attack and not get bogged down with the defensive side. Their natural enthusiasm will do this. If you start attacking the opposition drop deeper and the crowd get behind the team. Give him a chance.

Other teams take their youngsters and throw them into first team football, some as young as 16. Give them a go, if not good enough move them on.
Its simple really but lots of people saying give them time. Its not time they need. It's GAME time.
A lot of them could do a job in our first team already.
We are a club that ruins young players.

Its ridiculous that some people have said those things I agree.
But I genuinely believe that some of our youngsters would improve our team.
There's no point playing aging players week in week out against teams significantly younger than ours. Especially the midfield.
Our midfield is old. We need to inject some youth and pace. Aside from Robertson, I can't see them getting game time. King deserves his shot.
Colwill needs to take his chances, and he did on the weekend. He looked to drive us forward.

We must beat Burnley , draw at Jacks and beat Boro and fans will start believing otherwise I can see big pressure starting immediately as I don’t see us any better than last August / September.

One match in, yeah yeah, fantastic! I am starting to lose patience however ridiculous that sounds at this stage.
Everyone above is correct of course as well as the OP who has stuck to his view for at least 2 seasons now.
FFS Erol, don't TRY to play the younger guys / academy graduates, just throw them in NOW and also give them game time up at Burnley and upcoming Championship matches!
Enough is enough, use the young players now or just move them on.
Stop bottling it and worrying about your reputation or losing - grab your nuts and do something positive because we lost our first home match - with the squad we have, fully utilised, we should do better.
