Exactly. Even if we spawn our way up this season, we are relegated before a ball is kicked again due to absolutely no forward planning. 
 

Page I can accept due to him being 17. Nelson though is at the upper end of the young player scale. And we have ruined any chance he could be of use to us next season if we do go up. Then his contract is up and he walks for free. 

This is our 7th league game of the season there is 39 to go after tonight, not sure we have ruined any chance of Nelson or any of the other young upcoming academy players developing into starters ready for the next couple of years. Remember this isn’t just about talent, it’s physicality, in game intelligence, mentality all things we don’t necessarily see as fans, as we are not party to seeing training or the sports science stats and data. 
 

think some need to calm down a bit as there are some serious over reactions given that 16 year old Monga and 17 year old Page have both started already this season.

I’m not annoyed at Monga and Page’s involvement. Well I’m annoyed Page has been dropped from the bench. With 9 spaces on the bench, 2/3 of these should, in my view, be academy players (not counting Choudhury, I mean the young lads). I have actually said in the week, I am in favour of Mavididi continuing to start over Monga so I’m not a nut who thinks we should be playing a team of 17 years old etc.

 

The Nelson situation is different. As I have said, now was the time we needed to show our faith in him, look to build around him and show him we value him and for him to sign a new contract. We might only be 7 games in but in reality, it’s about more than that. He’s not coming into the side now. Even if Vestergaard or Faes get injured or suspended, Okoli comes in and it’s bench at best for Nelson. So he won’t be any use to us next season either having wasted this. Just an all round disappointing situation.

Spot on mate.

 

Criminal how Rudkin received praise for this window but we’ve done absolutely nothing to actually grow our squad value.

 

Bedding in Nelson would genuinely see us nurture a £30m talent, let’s just sell him for £5m in January and be done with it as it’s mis-management by Marti/Rudkin.

Wouldn’t surprise me if his opportunities are even more limited once Souttar is back as well

Genuinely really hope we sell him and he goes on to do really well. It’s the only way people will get the message.

 

Meanwhile, whilst Nelson had one poor half against Huddersfield, Faes again shows how clueless he is falling in a heap for the goal tonight whilst Vestergaard was nowhere to be seen. But no criticism for them!

Probably yeah. If it’s possible to be more limited than zero!
