I think we need a combination of age and experience to help the younger players to develop. TD needs backing from the fans to help him win this discussion with the DFC Board. Putting the sole responsibility on either TD or our BOD doesn't solve this problem.

I think TD's best justification for bringing in a player is if the player fills a role that even fans can see is required. Big lump to play up top with Murray, a competent defence that can play 4 at the back, and a midfield most of whom can track back to help the defence.
