Wakefield/Maxted/Ball etc

With the emergence of Mandeville, Lund, Middleton etc under DF it always makes you wonder how some of the above would have fared under Fergie or any others that was released under Dickov.

I presume looking at where they are now they would of enjoyed being part of the new team.

Thoughts?

Sometimes all people need is a bit of luck in getting an opportunity. I don't think any of them would have turned out as good as Mandeville but that's guesswork-people can surprise you.
I see Alex Peterson is captain at Ossett Town he scored for them last week. The one i thought was really unlucky was Waide Fairhurst. He did well when he got an opportunity it was just the quality players in front of him.
 I think it destroys a lot of these lads-they drop down to non league and lose the drive and professionalism. While football is played there will always be potential nuggets waiting to be found.

My goodness Sammy you have just gone down in my estimation Waide Fairhurst? Don't think I will bother looking at your WAP suggestions from now on

He was as slow as a carthorse but he could finish a ball. The ones he got for us in the first team were impossible to miss. If he was coming from our youth team now he would make the bench.
I don't particularly think many mistakes have been made in who has been let go. These last few seasons i think the quality of youth team player produced has improved. Having the manager we have also helps because he likes to give youth players the opportunity.
