He gives these youngsters a fair crack of the whip, something that used to be common place although sadly, quickly dwindled prior to January 2017.
UPDATE. OCTOBER 2019. Thankfully we kept hold of the manager who believes he has a dream job. He knows what side his bread is buttered. Working class northern bloke whose honesty shines through and really believes that the future is bright under his command. Hopefully a win against Exeter tomorrow will give that statement of intent a true ring to it. Perhaps we may be seeing a different kind of local derby next season, against a club in crisis not so far away. I wonder what odds Peter Coates would give me on that one occurring? Up the Alex. ALWAYS.
