Salts, some players just need to be given time. Progress isn't always a smooth upward curve. After we ditched Levi he struggled, so much so he couldn't hold down a place with Blyth Spartans. But we had seen glimpses of what he could do. Wasn't he 17 when we put him in the first team briefly? Unfortunately we lacked the organisation to further his development at that time. It sounds as though we now at least have recognised the importance of bringing youngsters all the way through, rather than creating potential Matlock Town players.
I would like us to have grabbed him back. I'm sure it is good move from Bromley, but whether it is an 8 points with two games in hand move remains to be seen. His history suggests that he needs to feel everything is right to show his best, and that might not be an immediate thing. I wish him every success but if Bromley are EFL-bound I hope it will be through the play-offs with Levi netting a penalty at Wembley to complete his hat trick.
