Think he is less likely to throw then in when we are struggling. Fulham game should see more of them play.
All present & correct for the hike to summit Leazes End.
Someone mentioned Newcastles fighting spirit & our fans unrest recently.
Well,the Geordie contingent have been vocally barracking Bruce in every game & are set to protest again before the game amid training ground fights/rows says their local Newcastle Chronicle.Not even sure Mike Ashley has the spare readies in his 'Geordie budget' to sack him under his rolling contract let alone to give away fans a decent view Pitchside seat.
Our sell-out away following heading to the North East in good spirits regardless & I'm not aware of any travelling Leeds fans factual unrest to report - but each to their own commenting on a sport were you can only win,draw or lose with what you've got.
So not sure this is a game to blood the younger ones realistically.
If not now, when? When we play another top 6 club with the prospect of another shellacking, or another struggler and with just as much threat but this time to physical well-being (a la Bumley)?
Unless there is a PLAN for "graduates" to emerge into the "sunlit uplands", then either they will never emerge, or when they do it will be the equivalent (and about as welcome), of an emergency cesarian, not a natural birth.
Think they will play in the cup and when we are winning games with less pressure.
Pretty sure at least one of Jimmy, Joe, Cody or Sam will see action at some point. The two CB and Lewis Bate may get action too.
Going by Leeds born Meanwood legends entourage of Brian Deane & Ellery Hanley your answers to 'Game Time' for promising youngsters.
All they need is enough time on the pitch to get a rating. 20/30 minutes is normally enough and this will ensure that they gain enough experience to improve correctly.
As they increase in ability on the training pitch and off via mentoring the more time they will need on the pitch moving from gradual bench watching learning experience to sub appearances and then to full run outs, maybe taking them off at the 60 minute point if on from the start.
Importantly,apparently game time - is as at an appropriate level for individual development.Thats how it was explained to me okay.
If you want to further that advice or comment appropriately then I'll ask them both via my Uncle when they're all next up at David Lloyd Squash centre Leeds LS6 to answer for you via my Uncle to Mum to me to you.
Not being a know it all just trying to get an experienced answer to your points.
