I sort of understand what your saying RR,
Normally,teams with a youngster, who shows potential is given a "taster",then sent out on loan for game time/experience.
Some impress,most dont.
I still maintain,a lot is in between a players ears,especially when your getting paid peanuts and your mates are getting more money,you soon become disillusioned.
Our last good youngster,Connor,played a few games,but the team weren't getting many points,and in league two,its all about points,not development ---unfortunately
