He's a young lad who should develop here over the period of his contract. Don't write him off yet Uncle Buck, I think he'll do very well for us yet.

How much Conference football have you watched then ?spidey said:Stevenage?
Surely he's better than that?
Wouldn't a league 2 outfit give him a couple of games - or even MK Dons - prior to season end.
Don't see what non-league football does for players like Albert & Jake. They need to be tested at a higher level - we've all witnessed a big difference even between league 1 & Championship.
What's the point of Jake scoring a hat-trick for Aldershot ffs - doesn't mean he'll be ready for Albion's first team next season, whatever division we're in.

spidey said:None. But I watched Malongo shine against Crawley, who are doing well in the conference & he made little impact for our first team.
These players are obviously good enough to play in the Conference, but imo they need to be tested against better opposition, ie: league 1 or 2.
Playing conference football has little more meaning than playing for the stiffs.
