As Cookie almost never named a sub keeper all last season I can't agree.
If a young lad is going to be ruined by helping out his club in an emergency then my opinion is that he never would have made it anyway. The chance might also have made him and just being named would have been a thrill.
It would have been more ruinous to my ego at 17 to think that the first team manager would rather have no goalie than me on the bench. We have got a young keeper, but I bet we haven't registered him for the EFL .......
(Big Ricky German came on as sub in National League South yesterday. It took him less than 10 minutes to score.)
Okay the probability was going to be in our favour, but the probability is we are are not going to use more than three subs most games, so we'll probably be fine if we only name four ...... Should we do it and knock the egos not considered good enough for the bench? When you are offered a safety net, only the suicidal refuse. (Lovely just to be disagreeing with you Dancing by the way! I have missed it!)
