Tom Anderson seems to have been around forever OC, he was captain of the team that got to the semi-finals of the Youth Cup 5/6 years ago, he's been farmed out on loan to a whole succession of non-league and lower division clubs, and has been a regular in pre- season friendlies for the past 4/5 seasons. Apparently Sean does rate him, which is presumably why he's still here, but clearly not enough to put him in the first team squad. I'm amazed he's still here, at his age he'll be the classic example of a slow-burner if he makes it with us now.

We have not had to throw him in at the deep end sinkov and think that has helped ease him along.

A Spireite supporting mate of mine really rates young Anderson and believes he can go all the way.

I hope so because it would reward all of the hard work we have been throwing at youth development.

I don't think it can have helped that we're now in the PL, that's another huge step up he has to make, but he's 24 in just over a month, he's years out of our youth system now, at his age his level should be apparent. I'm not knocking him, he may well be an excellent centre-half for Chesterfield, but we're in the PL. Just how long can we give him ?

Just for interest 'young Anderson' is only ten months younger than Tarko, he's not that young anymore in pro football terms.
