The management seem to have a problem with players losing the ball when making a run. Their issue seems to be that if you move up the pitch and lose the ball you've not just given the ball away but you're also out of position. And so that seems to be the deal-breaker.
It happened with the likes of Hedley and now Carlos. We seem to have plenty of young talent, yet we need to accept that in order for them to develop they will make mistakes when trying to play. I'd rather we give them the time and the encouragement to develop in the first team rather than sitting out their contracts as a bench-warmer.
Ironically you have the likes of Kenyon who repeatedly gives the ball away with terrible passes but that seems ok. For me, that's not what I want to watch. I still think there's nothing better than watching your team running at a defence and creating chances. As a L2 team, I fully accept that will inevitably mean watching someone trip over the ball and eat grass as they try, but that's ok!
