However how important are results versus using our own club resources to develop players (and injured players returning) given we don’t get relegated this season? Is it to limit the disillusionment of the fans, to change the spirit in the dressing room, something else?
I'd always rather use our home grown players. We're in a real hole at the moment and just need bodies who can come in and help stem the tide. If we were a winning team then that wouldn't be the case and we would be more comfortable adding the odd youngster as and when required. Once we get more competitive in matches again, and that doesn't necessarily mean winning them but just stopping the regular 50 point losses and actually taking games into the final 10 minutes we can start giving out more debuts again.
