Never mind what he's been smoking, I want what you have if your first choice XI has Ritchie starting

In 2002 an injury to Duncan Ferguson allowed a 16 year old Wayne Rooney to start against Tottenham Hotspur, he to most people he at the time was just a fairly promising youngster. They wanted to play him at 15 but couldnt because of the FA. He never went to play on loan in League 1 or the Championship, boom right in and scoring. 

Ritchie is currently our most exciting young prospect, he's 18 soon to be 19, and he's a no10, I proposed he play in a dual no10 formation, the same one SS used to get Plymouth promoted. To top it off, he's in good goal scoring form right now. Not forgetting he's already played and scored for us against a league 2 team in the cup.

You dont rate him to start because he's not coming from a Championship or PL team, if he was you'd be hailing him as the second coming. Nasty bias some fans have against our own B and Youth team players.

Sadly I just can’t work up an ounce of confidence for this one even though I desperately want to. I firmly believe we have the squad to outperform but I just think SS is getting so much wrong that I think it’s now being passed on to the players. I know the inverted wingers thing worked initially but it hasn’t done for s couple of months now as teams have found it out yet Schuey seems not to see it. The constant chopping and changing can’t possibly help players when they fear dropping for the next game however they play. Even the five substitutes every game achieves nothing positive just destroys any rhythm built up and must hack the players off who are replaced. There’s no question in my mind that we can win tomorrow but unless something changes system wise I don’t see it. Just hoping the chances go in for once doesn’t do it for me and if that’s all Schueys got then frankly I fear the worst.

You asked me why I was dreading it yesterday 😂

We all want Ritchie to be a good un, but there's some blatant re-writing history there.

Jesus Mary & Joseph!!! 😂

To say he was THE most exciting youngster in the country maybe in Europe is not even exaggerating, man child smashing every single record around.

Spoke to a couple of Wigan supporters yesterday they are not that confident reckon Lowes football is turgid just sets up not to lose they reckon a draw is the likely result. 

Much like us, we set up not to cross or score.

Give the lad a chance I’d say. I remember a certain Neil Whatmore being given a chance one midweek at I think Swansea when nobody had heard of him and he never looked back. They just need a chance so let’s be brave.

Based on what? I really do hope he is the next Wayne Rooney, but come on.

The actual Zach Clough would probably improve us at the moment.

Nobody said he's the next Wayne Rooney, dont be a knob all your life.

I'm not on any socials, but that surprises me. 

I'm going, and I'm honestly doing my best to remain positive, but part of me wishes I wasn't going.

Ok, so expain why you think he's our "most exciting young prospect", to such an extent you think he should start against Wigan tomorrow? What are you basing this on?

In a obviously perverse way, I am looking forward to tomorrow's game.    

My mood may change come 12.45

Bonham number 1 then. Bit contradictory that he's disappointed to see Cogley go when he's hardly started him all season.

I think Harrington will be the #1 long-term, we wouldn't have paid a fee for him to sit on the bench

I can only suggest you watch some of the youth team matches and ask Julian Darby. It's clear watching them he's a step above, he made Cat1 Leicester City look non league. He's our youngest goal scorer in 44 years and he's scoring for fun right now. He's got quick feet like Conway and he knows where the back of the net is, something everyone here has been crying about for 3 weeks.

Excellent. You've invented something else to moan about when he doesn't start tomorrow, because you know there's not a cat in hell's chance of it happening. 👍 Enjoy.

Bro...you were a happy clapper and wanted to give Evatt another year, hell you'd have probably given him a decade. 

Your opinion to me is a joke and everyone on here thinks you're a nit picking, hair splitting dick head.

Now you're just making stuff up. Tell us some more about how our Youth Players should be thrust into the First Team  because they can score against other schoolboys.

Can you just imagine the outrage if SS picked Ritchie tomorrow and he got twatted off the ball all game and we got pumped 4-0

Have a day off Leadfrog ffs
