My point is if he plays the kids now and we lose the remaining games and finishes 13th.
Or he plays his strongest team and potentially finishes 9th and fewer points off the play offs.
When he has a sticky spell next season like all teams do.
If he finishes 13th this season those requesting we play the kids will not say to be fair he was 7 points off the play offs last season then played the kids and ended up 13th and 13 points away. When really he could have finished the season 9th and 4-5 points off the play offs.
I want him to play the kids but I can see why finishing as high as you can is important in this knee jerk wanting to sack managers every season world of football.

If we finish 13th this season, he can then claim next season is an improvement, whereas if we finish 9th this season, he may have to explain why we finish lower next season. But do you really think playing a couple of U21 players we can be any worse than with what we currently have on offer?

Because Everton and other clubs are probably offering 10x what we did.

That was one factor but I doubt it was the only factor.

He has to earn a place in the squad, and for what I hear although he's done well in the u18s he hasn't shone in the u21s and Thomas is ahead of him. That's not mowbrays fault, he told him hard be around the first team next season when he offered the contract. He won't get anywhere near evertons first team for at least another 2 years so he's obviously not gone there because mowbray doesn't believe in kids.

Mate if he finishes 9th next season unless there is a drop in budget I would be asking questions.
It's the knee jerkers who will be baying for blood right from the start of the season if he finishes 13th.(this season)

What else would there be? The chance of first team football?

I haven't agreed with TM team selection on a number of times this season - however if he plays stronger more experienced players
against Sheffield United then I will - players like Hunt not really been given much of a chance to shine tbf!
