nervous breakdown mate thats all i can say haha this club can do that i was in bed last night shaking with my heart beating like the drum in south stand. but more seriously i think the fans have a great say in this club but i feel they show ignorance in the wrong places such as we want higham to stay but they show him the door. but when we ask for youth to be brought through they do it at the wrong times that's one weak point for Brian noble does know when to introduce youth and when to keep them wrapped up in cotton wool. mossop looked lost last night, this is not good for the player.. tomkins play out his skin in my opinion but played to much of that game last night.

If we are not careful, it will end up like Premier League Football.

There are 4 teams in it, 4 teams pushing for it, and then there are the stragglers. Including Wigan Nil FC!!

The reason Mossop looked lost was because he has not been opportubities when it was prudent and wise to do so. There have been several games when he could have been gaining 20 minutes here and there. Instead he was thrown in at the deep end. To be fair good in parts, bad in others.

I have always emphasised planned introduction of juniors.

Oddly it works elsewhere and across in the NRL too.

I am also a realist and understand as the top 2 SL clubs do that bringing through your own young players is an ECONOMIC NECESSITY and the only way to create a squad of any depth in a salary cap environmemnt.

What would you do DOD, please enlighten us all??

I'd probably play the kids thru' the season. They have been lots given the opportunity this year and most have failed to grasp it. Is this Nobby's fault? Or are they the usual overhyped Wigan mediocrity of recent years ala Hock?

Not very sensible IMO. Youngsters need the guiding influence of outstanding experienced first teamers particularly down the spine of the team.

Which youngsters have been given opportunities this year and failed to grasp it?
