Why as he not been given a chance tonight at least?

Thought he did well through pre season and thought he was on the verge of breaking through to the 1st team squad.

Is he another young un to fall by the way side because of lack of opportunities?

He is on bench. Still a chance for him to come on

Agree about Brooks getting some minutes but..
When we say "another youngster to fall by the wayside" who do we mean exactly?

There are lots of accusations we can throw at the club, but necessity has meant that we are having to use youngsters fairly regularly. Our issue is more often keeping hold of them. The nature of young players mean they are going to be inconsistent and might not hold a first team place down immediately.

Lowton
Long
Harry
Naughton
Walker
Reed
Whiteman
DCL
Kennedy
Even Che and Wallace were thrown in at 18/19 - tho not stricty youth players

DDG - is the only one I can think off that wasn't given a fair shot. Maybe attitude and injuries curtailed his chances, who knows.

Really made his presence felt.

First booking of the game.

At last a player that will get stuck in.

The reason we've even got the lad is that the Man City academy let him 'fall by the way side'.

Always really liked Brooks, but I think we should send him out on loan to build him up.

I'd like to see him thrown in at the deep end seen as wilder says it's sink or swim time....just think he's young with everything to prove and no fear and very hungry to do well,like that Chapman.
