You know what, I’d agree with Maloney to send Stones out if we had 2 fit firing strikers and he couldn’t get in but we don’t. What we have is, 2 forwards, 1 constantly injured and the other who’s missed a few golden chances.
Is Stones ready?, no definitely not but with a lack of funds and 2 non firing forwards and one knackered it was the perfect opportunity to start using him more. As I said, Maloney doesn’t like him the time he replaced Taylor with Sibbick was an insult.
I remember a similar thing happening when we were in the shit in Admin and we sent Lang out on loan at the time, a low earner when he was desperately needed.
Look I’m fully aware we can’t throw all the academy kids in there has to be a blend but when the owner says the onus will be put in bringing our own through I’m left scratching my head and why?
Well
We’ve an army of young average on loan players come in all gaining valuable experience while 3 players I’ve seen young Millar Payne Stones are all frozen out and by all accounts there’s another 2 or 3 knocking on the door.
Now we’ve a choice here
With no money do we keep bringing in others clubs average teenagers so they can gain experience and raise their stock value
Or
Do we use our own young lads and give them experience they desperately need ?. No one on this planet can tell me some of those young loanees that have come in are any better than our own of a similar age.
Then there’s the argument, would another manager do better with the current crop?, I’d be confident placing a bet on a different manager wouldn’t let Stones go out on loan when the 2 you’ve got are
p!ss poor average
