When we're in the PL arguably the strongest league in world football, the manager is criticised for not playing kids, now we're down a level and yet the fans don't want to see kids in the team, they want the manager to sign a striker. I don't get it, what happened to give youth a chance ?
I have no idea how Richardson goes on in training sinkov, nor have I any idea if he is "driven" to play first team football, Kompany seems to think he isn't, funnily enough neither did SD.

I vividly recall Lochhead and Irvine playing in our illustrious reserve team in the early 60's, you just knew before long they would be hitting the big time.

Maybe I'm living in the nostalgic past but I just don't get that sense of determination to succeed anymore, McNeil was not happy even though he had made it. Dare I hope Costelloe might break the mould?
