You never learn to act without going on in front of an audience. And you won't make the leap to men's football if you stay with the kids and the stiffs.
Ricky German apparently didn't develop all that fast as a junior - he needed time. First team game time is so available and so important for these kids - he should play. Our results now only matter to Gary Caldwell's vanity .... Give Ricky the chance even to fail a couple of times if that is what it takes before we have that genuine centre forward he's going to become.
I don't think we can pack the team with young players, but we can feed a few in round the ones with experience.
By the way didn't Liddle go BEFORE Caldwell came? (And look what's happened to Carlisle ......) I thought Danny had the right idea with Liddle, he was a type we needed, but he recruited the wrong man.
