I talk about a player being given a pro contract, getting about 4 sub appearances of

10 mins each game

He was sent on loan and scored 2 in four that helped Northampton to the play offs

He was released, make or break for him as a player

Peterborough gave him a chance, he now has 12 goals in pro football and still is only 20

His level of improvement in over a year is enough to tell you he has the potential and maturity to get better and better

That maturity didn't happen at Norwich though, it happened elsewhere

Sorry that doesn't people, it does me though. It stinks of why we aren't blooding younger players and teams like Ipswich do, mainly cos they have to, but mainly cos they know how to

Plus you talk about league two like it is some sort of joke. It's professional football. How did Leyton Orient beat Fulham in the cup if that level is so s**t?
