Maddo made some very interesting comments after the match yesterday. He was talking about players out on loan. He said other coaches had told him Bilongo and I think Brynn will be playing Championship football next season. The interesting part was he wasn't sure if it would be with Boro.
Bilongo is the interesting one. He was sent out very late to non league. And apparently is being scouted by teams in our league.
The insunation of this is that there is a feeling we are not using our academy players that could cut it in our first team.
For a club employee to be saying this is prodding at there being differences of opinion on their readiness. Carrick doesn't actually seem that keen on giving the kids meaningful experience.
His subs are all the same every week - Dijksteel, Silvera, Engel. Those kids who do get on the bench never get on. I wonder if it is starting to bug those at the club who work with the kids and reckon they could do a job.
