I'm fairly sure the likes of Tony Ford, Kevin Moore, Kevin Drinkell made their debuts (and kept their places in the squad - because they were good) at around 16 years old. Mucking about loaning players at 19 / 20 years old? - they need to be here fighting for a place in the team at Grimsby, if they are any good!! They may come back - and still won't get in the team, if they are not good enough.

Your memory deceived you a little. Drinkell made four appearances in 76-77, 20 starts in 77-78 and 78-79. It was only in Jan 1980 that he established himself as the regular number nine, playing in every game till the end of the season.

If they were as good as the above-named at that age, they wouldn't be at Grimsby Town. Football has changed a bit since then.

Well I hope these mature youngsters can do well at Boston Utd and grab places for themselves back at Town - if Town maintain the winless streak (league) they at least have a chance!

It's 1 month, gives them proper game time which they won't get here, YET. Wouldn't suprise me if they only go for the 1 month, without looking I assume our next cup game In that excrement trophy is over a month away? Good for all parties for me. If it was more than a month I'd question it, but 1 month to get proper 1st team action is a great shout.

The month away will harden them both without any potential mistakes in the 1st team.

First seeing of this I must admit I was a bit disappointed. I think Rose has something in his arsenal that we badly lack (pace) and would like to see him used, even if from the bench later on in games. Every time I see Max Wright he impresses me and too offers something we don't have, natural width and the ability/willingness to run at people.
That said, if they're not going to get game time here it's pointless them hanging around on Saturday's just in case we've got an injury crisis. National North is higher than the level we usually loan out at so will hopefully be a beneficial exercise for both lads.

Different people mature physically at different rates -Rooney looked about 30 at 15/16 whereas some people are boyish in their early twenties. I know it may be hard for clubs to justify holding on to a young adult to see if he any cop once develops a man's physique but I wonder how many extremely talented youngsters have been tossed on the footballing scrapheap just because unfortunately for them their hormonal goings on a bit behind? Loads I bet. I lt's good that Jolley has spotted the potential within and given out 2 and 3 year deals to give these boys/young men chance to fill out and have a fair pop at things.

I would have liked Rose as an option from the bench I doubt Robles will ever get near the bench given his obvious lack of fitness.Getting them game time is good management I hope they do well and come back challenging for a start.UTM

Agreed. Jack Lester didn't get a run of games until he was 21, for example.
