Donley definitely deserves minutes. I'd also make a strong case for Dorrington considering we are having to play two back up fullbacks at CB.
PEH and Dier in particular have no future with us Ange has made that very clear behind the scenes, so why not try players that might have a long term future with us? Ange keeps saying it's about the process and where we want to be long term. He's not overly worried about dropping points now as long as it's pushing towards the end goal so why not give them some time off the bench at least to bed them in a little and see how they do? Levy said one of the big reasons Ange was brought in was because he will use the academy and bring through players yet we are seeing him play players out of position and even back ups to back ups instead. Donley has 17 goal contributions from 11 games this season and is absolutely bossing PL2. If he can't get minutes now over Olly Skipp when we are thread bare and chasing the game with 15 minutes to go when can he? My worry is when the big players are available the likes of Donley and Dorrington won't even make the bench, and this is worrying when the have so many admirers elsewhere.
Agree and whilst the fanbase still seem OK with not winning as seeing the bigger picture those youngsters should be starting. Also skipp is terrible
