And ET would be right.
Could it be that we have reached that point in time when our youth team players are deemed good enough for the first team squad sinkov?

If Dyche really wanted to make the point I am sure he would rather leave the bench empty than compromise himself by picking players he deems to be not good enough to wear the shirt.

Bury gone. Macclesfield gone. Even this dodgy old memory remembers us getting stuffed by both of them. I'll stick with Garlick, thank you very much.
