He would have gained more respect if he had cautioned this whilst Jephcott and Hardie were scoring 8 goals in January.

Alan Hansen was subsequently proved wrong in his contention. As a result of this, I cannot quite understand BG's rationale in raising the quotation relative to the single result of last Saturday's team performance by Argyle? It seems to defeat what he is saying.

What is amazing(suppose I should have known) is how difficult people find it to understand a basic concept. i.e. that young players are learning their trade and will make mistakes as in any trade. Is that so ridiculous? Two of the goals conceded on Saturday were the result of young players not doing their job. In any event it is a point for discussion. That is the idea of this site I thought.
Just for the record Mr. Dont Panic I have no problem in people disagreeing but when it is in terms of 'pathetic' by an arrogant poster who thinks he knows all the answers then I DO have a problem. Can you see the difference there do you think? It is not a 'poor point' in my opinion as I have explained. If you think so what is your counter argument rather than just making some superficial judgement?
Quite simply playing young players is a risk. Sometimes you get away with it sometimes not, especially when playing against a good side away from home. Regarding the title I am more than aware that Man. U won the Prem with kids. I am not saying we shouldnt play younger players just that is a concern and sometimes you need to get a balance especially in the tougher fixtures.

That fact wouldn't matter if the average age was 18 or 28 - that is where the management need to be more adaptable.

I can absorb some of that, but I must say that in relation to your thread's original title you have given ground from, 'you don't win anything with kids'

The title was just an obvious link with the famous quote and the matter discussed. Seems you have to explain everything on here.
