so you think ratchford played poor whilst playing on the wing,maybe its time for big time charlie, smith to go there and ratchford play in is natural position of stand off.feel sorry for the lad gets slated when playing a position he is unacustomed to also same for thornley and turner.for me bad coaching.

Absolutely not! I really do not think he played poorly mate I was being sarcastic - I am making the same point as you, that these young lads are being given the role of playing out of position whilst the senior Pro's are not and then they are dropped when it is clear to see who is playing well and who isn't. Ratchford is a class act so at least give him a start in his half back position. Thornley and Turner too. No argument with you mate - was saying the same thing.

my apologies. mcrae seems to have lost the plot when it comes to the youngsters.

When I suggested raiding the youth team I didn't mean play the whole team. Look at Adamson he was given the chance to play last year and he has come into himself.

We understand that you don't mean bring the whole team. Yes Adamson did well last season. As he did when he started to be brought forward when we were in SL last time. The problem now is that with us on a very bad run where it would be applauded bringing in the odd youngster. The facts are that within a couple of games certain members of our support would be screaming abuse at them.

It could also be that we just don't have the quality to bring forward at this time. Nobody seems to be placing that into the equation.
