I am sick to the back teeth of clueless football fans whinging about kids not being "given a go". In my experience they are usually the same no-nowts who spout baseless cliches about "the manager underestimated the opposition" or "play your strongest team every game".
The manager has many priorities to juggle. One is winning the game. Another is keeping the first team squad happy. Another is looking after their fitness. Sure, kids need to be involved but chucking two who are miles off the pace in a game like This would be asking for trouble.
I'm well happy with that team.
