Quote: Walt Mooney Fan Club "Maybe that means that he does rate him, but does not think he is ready for the first choice spot just yet - so rather than him warming his ar4e on the bench week in week out NK has given him the opportunity of first team action at a level above what he'd get from playing in the reserves - thus keeping him 'honed' until the time is right?'"

What he said.

Wrong choice of words. John Woods, Des Drummond are great players; Hatton is a promising player but obviously hasn't shown enough in training to be considered a first team player yet.

Hes not been given enough game time in the first team to say either way really, time will tell.
Anyway good luck at Blackpool Dean, hope you do come back and be given chance to show what you can do

get leigh outta wigan:7175.jpg



Quote: Dick Jones "How can we sign someone, give him a contract and squad number then play him about 30 minutes gametime in a couple of friendlies and then decide hes not good enough, wouldnt the contract money have been better spent elsewhere, ditto with Cooky too. If this is correct
Who’s said he’s not good enough?

As a youngster didn’t David Beckham go out on loan to Preston? I wonder if it was because Fergy didn’t rate him, Beck’s seemed to do ok on his return to United.

It happens Hatton was not getting a chance to play possibly not because of what he’s done wrong but more to do with the lads who have been picked have done well and currently in NK view deserve the shirt, and an extended run in the team.

Who would you suggest we drop to allow Hatton to play?

I didnt say he wasnt good enough I think it was the Kevster maybe?

So we should send out all the players currently not in the first team should and not bother with a reserve side.

Some players will benefit by playing in the reserves and some will benefit by going out on loan. Which could be at a higher level than reserve rugby, isn’t Scott Moore still a Saints player but still playing SL at Huddersfield, or do you think he would be better playing for Saints reserves, it’s up to the player and coach to agree which route they feel is best for both parties.

Quote: Dick Jones "So why give him a contract then in the first place?'"


Maybe he wasn't considered ready yet but was signed in the hope of him getting there. Same as with any new young player. If we only sign players who are 100% ready for the 1st team we'll be back to the days of has-beens and overpaid journeymen.

Along with coaching players need gametime so personally I'd like to see us use the loan system a lot more to get our younger players experience, like some of the SL clubs do.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



Quote: Dick Jones "So why give him a contract then in the first place?'"


Because you need a squad of players in case you pick up key injuries. Neil obviously think he has better options in the positions Dean plays but wants him in case we get in trouble.

His outings at Blackpool can only make him a better player and he'll benefit greatly rather than just turning out in our reserve grade every week. He's playing in games that will test him far better which will serve as an indicator as how he'll go when he does get game time.

Agree entirely, the loan to Blackpool will benefit Blackpool, Leigh and above all....Dean. As a 21yr old its all about establishing yourself and seeking that all important "first team" shirt, Blackpool are giving Dean this opportunity, however its still upto Dean to take it with both hands.
