Thanks for confirming that and have a think about it the next time you try to points score on here.
If Swain, Cooke,Sing, Domic etc etc etc had been available to play for Hull then those oppotunities would have have come their way.
Its not a bad thing by the way as i like to see young players coming through but to then try and have some moral high ground over it when they played predominantly because of injuries to senior pro's is silly on your part.

No news on Mills yet, then?

Much like why certain players at Rovers didn't get a shot because as you like to remind us so often we are don't get injuries

FC have blooded a lot of youngsters and finished near the bottom.

Rovers blooded a few youngsters and finished near the top.

Mrs Barista wrote:Good summary. And since we both won feck all, whose youngsters are in a better position to step up as first team regulars in 2010?

And more importantly when does Clinton arrive? He's certainly easy on the eye

If the aim was top finish top-four or higher, then it would be ours also.

Seen as though we will finish higher than you (again), no doubt a similar thread will appear on here this time next year.
