      Was 'actual' Joe Cole playing at the same time.

          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

            The tradition in L1/L2 is to go back to physicality and 'experienced heads' when things aren't going well. It is a real problem in terms of using loans to develop young players.

            I'd be in favour of incentivizing teams at that level to play young players.

              How would you do that?

                If I was in charge of the FA, I would probably have a flat out bribe (ideally paid for from TV money higher up the pyramid. I would have done it at the point of renegotiating the compensation for young players being transferred but that ship has sailed). A payment made for playing X under 21 players for Y minutes. Most clubs have financial difficulties and would probably find it hard to resist complying. Self interest is usually the only way. You could also give bonuses for the number of England youth internationals provided I suppose.

                I'd also couple that with a limit on the number of substitutes over 21 on the bench.

                As a club I suspect there is nothing we can do. We could try to pay people to play our loanees but managers would probably resent interference in terms of being forced into selecting particular players.

                  That's not bad. Or you could say that we'll pay a percentage of wages according to their percentage of playing time. If they play 100% of matches we pay all the wages, and if they play 0% then the loanee team pay all of their wages for that week etc.

                    That sort of thing seems like the sort of imaginative solution that could work.

                    Speaking of which (imagination that is), based on a throw away comment by the commentator on 5Live I have come up with this speculation:
                    • Ian Ayre used to work at Huddersfield
                    • Huddersfield just appointed Klopp associate David Wagner
                    • Did we have a hand in that in order to help give us a development pathway with trusted coaching?

                      Interesting thought, sounds plausible.

                          How did he do?

                            They only comment I could find on forums was that Howson and Wisdom did a solid job down the side that Montero plays. That can't be bad.

                            Wolves forums absolutely ripping into Ojo, calling him a diver and calls to **** him back off to Liverpool.
                            One tit for another.

                              Norwich record with Wisdom starting is very good. A lot is obviously coincidence, but you'd think he at least deserves a decent chance considering.
                              If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

                                Ojo splits opinion usually depending on whether he starts or not - he is a poor first half player but effective coming on for the last 20 mins.
