As for Osong he has played one game and scored, how many goals has Holmes or Hungbo scored? The lad comes from a highly rated academy and is very well thought of, he is a young man away from his parent club, such players need to be managed differently to get the best out of them. We have an awful track record of dealing with young loaned players. This is a big issue, when you damage the relationship with these academies and clubs that reduces your options going forward, do you think Arsenal will send us another player after the Norton-Cuffy situation.
Evans job is to win football matches, at the moment we have lost more than we have won, we have 14 points from 12 games that is 54 points over a season which in the last 4 years would have been 17th, 16th, 16th, 17th. Do you think that will be seen as success by TS this season, especially as Evans has told us we will be challenging for promotion? We have seen nothing from Hugill in a season and a quarter that makes him worth a shirt, the fake head/leg injury yesterday was the last straw. Cayton says Osong sits on his own, why? The club captain is sat behind him, why isn't he taking the lad under his arm and getting him to sit with them, why is it the lads fault? Now he might get 3 or 4 games or good run outs and fail, but he deserves the chance and not to be judged on 5 minutes here and 1 minute at Peterborough. I am sorry for sticking up for the lad, but history shows us that the issue with young players is the club and not the players.
