I'm glad that Dayle has had some success away from Town. Tough times meant we couldn't hold on to him and give him time to develop.

I was just taking notice of that Michael Doughty of QPR, he's 22 and made his first Premiership start on Tuesday for them.
Before that he went out on loan in League 2 with Crawley for a season, 6 games in the SPL with St Johnstone, a full season in League 1 with Stevenage, and this season 13 games with Gillingham in League 1.
Now with injuries in the QPR team, he looks set to be blooded into Premiership games by the new manager, who brought him through the youth ranks.
Anyway what I'm trying to say in comparison to the bigger picture, was it a mistake to just let him Dayle Southwell go, looking at the above, maybe it's best to loan out a young player for a few seasons in leagues below, so they gain the experience, then make the step up?
If they're still under contract and banged in 25+ goals they come back a better player and chances are we could make some decent cash when big clubs make a move for these players, win win situation.

First year pros earn around 175 a week
At League One level? I did say it was rough workings, not a detailed business case. The figures weren't important.

I think going out to Boston will undoubtedly have proved better for Southwell than staying here. If he had stayed, he would have been 4th choice striker at best and he would be unlikely to develop too much with just limited appearances here and there.
I tend to doubt that any sort of season-long loan would have been an option, so a move was probably the only choice. Hopefully he'll do well in the long run as he always seemed a willing worker to me, but his good form in the Conference North doesn't necessarily indicate he'll ever make a prolific striker at Conference Premier or Football League level. It's the difference between playing against full-time pros most weeks and playing against part-timers most of the time.

I think that is the key, especially for a striker. He needed games and while there is no regular reserve team at Grimsby the squad players simply don't get them and it shows when the likes of Southwell and Hannah come on for a first team cameo and don't look sharp.
