    Again I will stress MB was brought in as he was known to producing his own team and particularly the younger ones. What we have seen is improving older players but none improving young players. What that tells me is has he changed his ways? I say no as we know he is stubborn, therefore the only conclusion I can come up with they are simply not good enough.

    He has improved a lot of the younger players too - For example - Shacks, Meslier, Gotts, Poveda, Davies, Struijk, McAlmont (yes some had youth team coaches but playing to MB tactics and under his regime).

    The prem is a hard league to blood youngsters especially when you need to optimise your 1st team and as has been discussed in depth the u23 doesn’t cut it.

    Give the bloke some slack he took us back up when many were giving up hope it would ever happen. He is now operating under CVD and priority is league survival and he is doing well so far.

    I guess he is a little prone to sail close to the sun and on occasion his wings catch fire but that does not stop him.
