Don't quite know what it is either Leics. I do understand though that the step up from PL2 to the Championship is massive and that loan periods out to League One clubs, for example, are therefore really valuable in building up both physicality and game experience. That said, Mozza played both Bostock and Whitwell in the cup game. Whitwell was unlucky with that early possible concussion injury and didn't get much chance to show what he can offer but I thought that Bostock's performance at least earned him further opportunities.

Given our current situation especially, Ramsay will certainly want to field the players he feels best suited for each game which would, of course, normally be from amongst our group of senior players but it's hard not to think, for example, that Bostock may offer more than Illing Junior.

Training with the first team is valuable and a clear step up in their development but getting some actual game time experience is better still and we don't want to potentially lose our better youngsters through not giving them opportunities-they could well play a big part in our rebuild for the future.
