Maybe he got told that he couldn't buy a clean sheet.

It would be great to see Battersby break into the team. I remember Hurst being complimentary about his form and fitness at the start of preseason but said he needed experience playing matches. Well he has some now, and obviously did a great job at a lower level. Question is can he do it at a higher level- like all young players the only way to find out is to give them a chance.

I don't for one second think the owners would ever interfere with team selection, but it wouldn't surprise me if Hurst has an objective or bonus for young players breaking into the team. Andrew mentioned it again in the podcast about their aspirations for young local talent like Max and Harry to make it into the team and importantly stay with the club at a young age, rather than being hoovered up by bigger clubs.

Would be fantastic if he's been brought back to come into consideration for a first team slot.

If that's their ambition, then they have the exact wrong manager for the job.

I've seen some rumours that Macca is on his way out of the club this Jan, I don't really believe that but stranger things have happened in football.

However, it did get me thinking about his testimonial season. Has there ever been a player that has left a club part way through his testimonial season? What happens with any forthcoming events? Does he just come back to attend them?

He signed in 2011 and had his testimonial against Rotherham in July just gone.

Yeah I know but there are often more than just the one event. I am sure I saw something recently about an evening event at McMenemy's, yet to be staged.

I could be wrong though.
