Whilst I agree with that overall, we can't have to bear in mind that, generally, Moyes is a conservative and pragmatic manager.MB wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 7:37 am I know that this is coming from a good place, just like the other posters who want more youth coming through the ranks but it basically comes down to they aren’t good enough or they would play.
There isn’t some great conspiracy to hold the youngsters back. If they were good enough, mentally and physically strong enough then they’d play. 10 minutes here and there as a sub doesn’t change that equation.
We have this every year. The names change, but the facts stay the same. Player X gets bigged up as the next big thing and ends up playing in League One or League Two at best. You can count the players we’ve released who have ended up playing in the premier league on one hand,
He isn't one for taking unnecessary risks and playing young players is a risky choice so it isn't a surprise we haven't seen more of them under Moyes
I am.not saying Moyes is right or wrong in this case btw. Just that it is the reality of the situation
