Was speaking to a Tranmere fan last night, he said that the boy Warrington started well for them, but he was mostly a bit poo.

Seen quite a few opposite opinions from Tranmere fans.

Just whack anyone in the DCL thread and they’ll see it in action.

So much for us not giving youngsters a go.

 

[Carlito]

Poor old Thierry Small.

Backed the right horse and still lost.

I mean we don’t really. 450 mins is nothing.

Especially when it's all just Branthwaite apart from about 15 of the minutes

I got told the same thing pretty much. I like the lads attitude, but ideas of giving him a chance in midfield are massively wide of the mark

That equates to 5 full 90 minutes

387 minutes were Branthwaite
29 minutes were Dobbin
12 minutes Isaac Price
25 minutes Onyango

I cant find were the other 5 minutes come from!

I'd be very suprides if any of these will be used in the first team alot next season.

It would be interesting though, to see how many teenagers are getting first team football across the whole country, how many teenagers go out on loan before coming back now!
I think its harder to get minutes as a teenager now as the PL has flipped to ultimate cyborg athletes throwing you around the pitch. Only very rare exceptions like Foden or early developers who are already massive like Livaremento will get any sort of large amount of minutes in the PL now. You are looking at lads getting game time now at around 20-21.

Minutes played by a teenager is a bit of a lottery.
If a club has just one quality player who is a regular fixture in the team that will influence the numbers hugely.
It doesn't mean that there is a deliberate policy to play younger players.

….I very much doubt that ‘poor’ is an accurate descriptor.

2202 of Southamptons minutes is one player.
