You are spot on when you say some expect them to beat the world. What I failed to mention in my post was that it does work at the other extreme too, and I completely agree with that.
What I was referring to with people thinking they've played better because of the natural bias though, is probably part and parcel of what you have mentioned there about not expecting as much out of them. Therefore the standards people hold to what they consider "having a good game" are lower for academy products than they are for, say, Australian signings.
And I wasn't aiming it directly at you, it was a general feel I've got over the years. I very much consider myself in there too, as I have come away from games thinking a young player did really well. Then thinking back on it, they weren't actually that good, they just did well for an inexperienced player.
All about different standards you expect from a player really, so you hit the nail on the head there.
Oh and I agree. I think Brian Mac would be the perfect coach for him
