    Almost certain it was a young player - I didn't notice any older players who might be first team suitable.

    Agreed totally.

    At the same time though were supposed to be fielding home grown players to encourage us to try and bridge that gap. While we can obviously find ways around that so we don't have to put a kid on the bench... should we?

    Why not have one bench spot for a young outfield player, whoever is performing best at the time?

    I'd rather we had Mboma on the bench than a Derbyshire or Denison than McDonald.

    I mean how much did Pointon stand out in U19 games? Was he like Messi? He's more than good enough for first team football.

    This exactly what I was trying to say Jon. If we have some talented players let’s see if they can make a step up. Let’s go off piste a little and give them a run out with the men.

    What are we short of in the men’s team……. he is the son of my daughter in law’s friend. George Goodman. GA seems to like him. I felt a bit spooked when you asked me if I know him:) I have not met him but I get regular reports about him.

    It doesn't have to be like what we did with Reece Staunton and Finn Cousin-Dawson, either.

    It's not about starting them for a period then never playing them again. Blood them in. Give them 20 minutes here and there.

    I remember a Brighouse fan telling me Pointon looks shit hot but maybe a little lightweight. I'm guessing the success of the loans determines whether we'll see them in a city shirt, plenty gone to Farsley in recent years and can't have done enough

    I used the search function and found over 10 pages of results where you'd used the word "success" or "successful". These results include the debate you and I had over whether last season was a success or not which I feel directly answers your question above.

    It wasn't me that was saying last season was a successful one
