Romared Match Thoughts Barnsley v Doncaster Rovers

[Doggydo]

I think most of us thought this was the season where Jalo came of age but what a disappointment, up to just I’ve not seen any progress from him at all, I fear he may be one of those players who everybody raves about as a 16 year old and doesn’t kick on because if he can’t force himself into the present team he never will

To be fair Doggy , I have been reading on various sites where Jalo and other academy lads who played last night are not up to it and the academy is a waste of time , they may be right ,but I was an apprentice and half way through my apprenticeship I could carry out quite a lot of my work but I wasn"t the finished article by any means and did not get fully on top of my job until after I had completed my training and had started to gain experience , why do fans not see that young footballers learning their trade are no different ? , we had Chris Woods , Ivan Toney plus others on loan here and were no where near to fulfilling their ability but they turned out to be top top players , it is obvious that the majority of the crop will not succeed but history suggests that it has always been this way but only time will tell , let them develop and learn their trade before judging and from some of the comments I have read these youngsters must be distraught when they see what our fans think of them , I really think patience is the key but there seems to be very little of that amongst our fan base .
