That'll be like Lovegreen, that Gray rates but never get's near the first team squad?

I know you're desperate to defend your mate and all, but I think anyone with half a brain cell could see I was talking generally about the stick some Darlo fans unfairly direct towards Ray.loan_star wrote:Perhaps a few facts may make you realise the question has already been asked.Darlogramps wrote:I'm not saying you were giving him stick. Generally though it's always "Why isn't Ray asking the difficult questions?" Any criticism questions being too soft gets directed towards Ray when actually he works for the club.don'tbuythesun wrote:I'm not sure how you equate that with giving Ray stick? I'm just suggesting questions like is "Kevin fully fit?" "Some fans feel vaulks has played well, is he injured?" Would be helpful to know.
But the independent Craig Stoddart seemingly gets a free ride.

If the paywall stops you reading the key part, this is what it says :-
"But, at 18-years-old, Gray believes Vaulks is one for the future and does not want to blood him just yet.
The manager said: “He’s not ready to start games. If everyone was fit I’d have him out on loan so that he can get some senior football and full games.
“He’s not ready to start at this level, not yet.
“He needs more men’s football but at the right level.
“He’s a level-headed lad, but he’s young and needs to learn.
“We have talked about it but we’re very happy with him, he’s got all the tools, he just needs to learn the game.”
I don't think managers need to justify every decision on personnel to fans.don'tbuythesun wrote:I can't imagine gramps having a problem asking challenging questions! I think as a fan owned club we should be able to seek clarification about why players are and aren't playing/on the bench/not even in the squad. Mendes is a prime example, loads of conjecture but we're still none the wiser about why he never played.
