I remember someone on here saying that Rhys Evans was a once in a generation player. Can't remember who it was, but whenever I've seen him I've been very impressed. Obviously there are his injury problems, but if fit then he should be playing a lot more next year, we don't want to see his potential go to waste.

Ben Currie is another one who should be used a bit more sparingly because of his age and the position he plays, but ideally you would like to see him in the side more often than not, on the bench at least.

Mike Cooper, i was expecting more from him this year now that he has a fair bit of experience under his belt, ive been disappointed with what ive seen of him this year. Paul Wood, sometimes he can be decent but he can also be frustrating as well especially with his ball handling.

Hill was a bit off the pace (unusually for him), Ratch didn't do much of note, Hodge went off although I would say it was between him and Tyke for MOM.

Congratulations on calling someone a moron for disagreeing with you btw.

That's the thing. Most of the time young players get into teams because a first team player in their position has got an injury. It's the same for most youngsters. But if nobody has an injury in that position or there is someone else higher up in the pecking order, the youngster wont get in.

With time and patience, if they're good enough, they'll cement their place in the side at some point.

Agree with this totally, only downside is the younger is always compared to he previous player in their position, for instance Gaz Obrian will always be compared to Briers, Ratchford to Hodgeson etc and woe be tide if they make an error whilst they are learning/gaining experience

Did you watch the match or have you just named those 3 players because they are usually mentioned for MOM. Hill wasn't at his best. Hodgson went off Injured and Ratchford didn't see much ball. McCarthy was the best of a bad bunch but ignoring that game he has been in great form for a number of months anyway.
