Spillane is the one youth player we should definately hang onto.

Even taking last night into account. Again: he was out of position, and with the team set-up with a narrow midfield three his role demanded he get forward and create from the wings. He's not a createive wing player: and this shouldn't be news to anyone.

He didn't do well last night, granted, but unlike everyone else who underperformed last night, there are valid and concrete reasons (reasons, not excuses) why he didn't do well.

Actually I though some of his runs down the wing in the second half were quite good. If he was a creative attacking player there might have even been some end product, but he isn't, so there wasn't.
