They said that but he didn’t get on the the bench once, even the Millwall and Huddersfield games
Which again makes it odd why you wouldn't just let him go back on loan, no?

As said, he did have an injury as soon as he rocked up, so you could maybe forgive the lack of substitue appearances last season. This season, however... he *surely* has to either be backup, or go elsewhere for a while.

Not if the club wants or feels they need to develop him a bit with us before he goes out on loan.

In which case, why would they be happy to send him out on loan last season, until they decided he was good enough to be backup?

It's not consistent... and Robins is always right, remember, so if he thought him good enough to be backup last season, he's good enough *this*.

Maybe things changed between last season and this season?

Christ, I don't know what the fuck has happened to some of our fans. Scraping the barrel for a whinge about something.

You need some players to stick around for the u23s though. Can't just send everyone out on loan

They may have thought that we were too short of cover at LWB to let him go on loan, even with Maatsen on board we are a bit light there.

With Salter on board, and possibly another defender on loan we may see him loaned before the end of the month.

Indeed. Which is kind of my point, if we get cover in, it's pretty pointless him hanging around, really. No real whinging there, just pointing out that he can't be not cover, and us not sign anybody.

Being signed at 19 would suggest we might have to give him time to settle and develop.

Like most of our signings, they are young players with potential to be developed rather than the finished article.

Some will come off some wont.
Agree but our ratio is not great. Of those signed who fit that criteria not many have made an impact in the last 24 months? Happy to be corrected by a list of those that have.

For comparison purposes you would need the results of the other 91 league clubs in the same time frame, your idea of “not great” could actually be okay.
