Initially they need minutes on the pitch as subs.

My opinion has always been the same.

We don't see these players in training. The majority of us have never seen these players play live in person.

Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor do on a regular basis.

If they don't think they're ready to be starting games, then I trust them on that.

I am also of the opinion that it is unfair to play them against teams who are still fighting for something.

Just imagine what we would think if we were fighting to get in the play-offs on the final day of the season and the team who were playing our rivals put out a bunch of kids because they had nothing to play for. It wouldn't be fair.

So I wasn't at all surprised that none of them were involved in the games against Reading and Brentford.

I believe that the manager and the coaches will learn more about whether they're good enough in pre-season.

So I know I'm in the minority here, but my answer is no.


Tend to agree as I wouldn't be very happy if our future was affected because another team played a weakened side against one of our main competitors. However, given that our midfield has so little creativity in it, I think that we could certainly do something there with say one position being shared between two youngsters. Then, depending on how the results go near the bottom of the table we might be able to something more in the last two games.

Mick McCarthy is asked about giving young players a chance in the final three games


MICK McCARTHY:


Possibly. Yeah.

Like I said, I’m not just going to throw a whole load of kids in. We have got really important games against teams fighting relegation.

I want to win the games. I want to be competitive in the games.

There is an integrity we have to live up to.

Mick McCarthy

Of course, the youngsters are the future of this club and should be playing for the remaining games for them to gain experience and confidence in themselves to perform on the pitch at there best. I have no idea why Mark Harris dont get playing time as he could be the key player for next season with us. Plus it would save alot of money playing the youngsters from the club than trying to fork out for a new defender/midfielder/striker.

Next Season I want Mark Harris alongside Kieffer Moore up front for us.
And I want Brown, Sang and Bagan to start next season.

Sell the players who is not the future for this club like Tomlin, Hoilett And Vassell.

My Starting Line-Up For Next Season:
Phillips
-
Bagan
Brown
Morrison (Captain)
Perry NG
-
Murphy
Pack
Colwill
-NEW SIGNING-
-
Harris
Moore

Formation: 4.4.2
Bench:
Smithies
Nelson
Ralls
Bennett
Flint
Watters
