Did their best and are cracking prospects-but not ready for the first team, as much mentally as footballers. They are boys, not men, and need better decision making, composure an positioning to be able to play regulatly at this level. They both looked very unsure of themselves after we went down to 10 men- and that goal just knocked the stuffing out of us. Christie needs to improve his passing, Gael needs teaching how to tackle.
Not writing them off at all, some of their contributions were our best play, it's just they're going to be doing all their learning whilst in the first team-and that could break them. They're bound to make mistakes. It's not fair on them.
