Not even sure who manages them now Dempster and Delaney gone up to the first team?
They advertised the role in August but no announcement.

Bassette starting, good to see Batanwi back in the squad after a year out

I hope that's the case. Good luck to the lad. Hopefully he gives Robins something to think about.
Or a reality check for him, seems a bit of a strange one that

Is there a reason we’ve played so few games compared to the rest of the league?

He is very raw. A talent but not first team starter level. Take a deep breath and give him time.
Definitely good enough for the last 20 minutes of a game. No point spending that amount of money on him if he’s not going to play at all.

The problem with development football is the lack of continuity. Results aren't that important. They could be not fielding their best team and giving youngsters a chance? They could be trying a new system? Fans are results based, Academy coaches are development based.

I think he needs grounding to improve. Some temperament issues. Nobody should just walk in the side. He is a mixed bag at the minute and needs to get his head down.
Who says he is not going to play at all? We have lots of talent and ability in the squad. It's very competitive. All I have seen is a young raw talent. He is not worth 20 minutes at all. I would not be shy of giving him 20 minutes in certain circumstances. But I would not guarantee him 20 minutes or even a place on the bench.
That situation could change rapidly of course? But we are where we are. I think some fans are clutching at straws and being panicked by poor results i.e When is Rodriguez fit,? We have never seen him play and has always been well down the pecking order! I am not saying he is a bad buy or won't come good.... Just him and Bassett deserve time. They were clearly signed to strengthen squad depth and as future investments. Certainty not to be judged by mid October.

People keep on saying this and honestly I really don’t see him as “raw”.
Granted he hasn’t scored yet but he looks an intelligent and aggressive forward and seems older than 19.
