Just thinking out loud here.
I wonder if the visit of Phil Gould has caused some unrest within the club? He openly admitted Greenwood is the best youngster in England. And we have other talented potentials in Thompson and Savelio. Has he been tapping these players up? It doesn't excuse everything else that seems to be going wrong but it certainly wouldn't help. It would certainly explain why so many of these youngsters have had limited game time.
I could be way off the mark. Just thought it was worth a mention
