I dunno, it feels a bit harsh to hang a lad out with blame when he was in a shower of a side to start with.

Young players always make mistakes.  Ideally you have experienced and inform players around them to a) cover them and b) help make sure they don't happen again.  From memory Idehen had the badly out of form Pollock and Waterfall on one side of them and then the ridiculously exposed Preston the other side of him.

I don't question Hurst's judgement or decision.  As much as I thought Idehen showed promise, it wasn't to the standard that any of the current four centre backs are operating at.  My musings were more that with a proper first year of development he might have gone onto to be asset.

One of the big problems Town have with young players once they leave the academy set up is lack of game time.. with very few reserves games they either have to get a good loan deal or play 1st team games..

Can see why Starbuck could prosper in Sheffield utd u23 set up with game time and no real pressure if make mistakes etc.. looked like he had something about him but needed to develop.

Also worth considering that some players aren't quite up to the job when younger, but develop into much better players as they enter their early 20s. We're all used to seeing a young tyro thrown in at 17 these days but the ones who do succeed are few and far between. It's why you get young loanees from higher division clubs who don't look anything at all when thrown into men's football but can then develop a good career. Perfect example of this was Simon Francis who didn't look anything special when he played for us on loan in the 4th tier aged 20. He ended up playing in the Premier League pretty regularly for several seasons!

Not a great example to use, he has been released already after several instances of breaking club disciplinary rules by being in Toys R Us after 8p.m and attempting to breast feed with one of the Arsenal ladies first team
