Had potential and was always going to get better, was he good enough to make it into our Evo Prem winning squad that season - No.

Reason he improved was because he went and played week in/week out. Same with Lewis Wing.

Whilst chasing promotion and also generally having Gray as manager we won't spend time developing players. You have to be willing to give them time and watch them when not being good enough as they improve.

We are probably at the stage now where we are not chasing promotion so much that we can give some youth a chance, well until Gray can throw some more money at the problem.
