Taking a chance on players from the non league does not usually work and in this case that is true. Mind you Derby are not far off being a non league club now anyway!!
It helps when Torquay play him in his correct position for a start youth. Clough kept playing him left wing or left back, it must be morale destroying for the lad. He was captain for our reserves this year, won young player of the season and when played in centre mid looked the part at that level. Watched him many times at Ilson Town as well when they were sniffing around the top 6 of the Conference North and he really stood out (he was only 19), which is why Clough got him.
Maybe the Championship is a step too far for now, but when/if he gets another pop at the Championship, he's got to be played in his correct position to give him a chance.
