He didn’t. Subbed after 57mins for Wheeldon. 

I stand corrected. Still don't think he'll be on the bench... including injury time he played an hour yesterday by my reckoning.

Let’s face, it he’d only ever play 10 mins max today anyway. You’re probably right anyway, if you’ve got a bench with Collins, Weston, Ward, Vickers, Bradley, Fornah and Wilson, there’s no space. (Feel free to switch Fornah for Smith and Bradley for Cashin).

Would really like to see him on the bench today, but it won’t happen. Maybe later in the season?

To hell with it, I'd start him!

Think he is exactly what we’ve been missing upfront. Warne was a bit sharp with Dom D when asked if Weston was near to the first team. I think he said nearer than he was before the game. Personally I would have 3 youngsters on the bench for every game.

Perfect game to give Weston 10 minutes today as reward for his display the other night.

Once NML went off we could have just done with his pace and Terrier type style.

Would never have got on before Sibley. Tony’s time will come, perhaps at some point on Tuesday night?

I think he should have come on, but, and I guess we will find out, I sense with all the injuries Warne was going on about, he is kinda banking on Weston playing on Tuesday. With Waghorn, JJ, Waghorn and Brown all unavailable for Tuesday, it would make more sense.

Scores one and assists one v Wolves U21.

Three Nil up v Barnsley and doesn't bring him on.

Playing Crewe  at home in the cup, we are behind, doesn't bring him on.

 

The worst part is, it surprised no one.

After the first 10 minutes of the second half, it was obvious that the players on the pitch weren't doing enough to get themselves back into the game. Warne should have not only brought on Weston, he should have also given Robinson, Brown and Fapetu, 30 minutes to see how they performed.

Warne failed to energise the team at HT should have put on Fapetu, Weston and Cox.

For all of the criticisms of Warne and there are lots, the way he has chosen to manage the emergence of Weston is the biggest concern to me.

When Derby went 3 up against Barnsley it meant we could reward 1 or 2 of the youngsters who performed so well against Wolves, Weston being the main one.  A goal and an assist, I am sure he would have been chomping at the bit to add to this.

The fact he brought Bradley et al on, the same players who fail week in week out, flogging the same dead horse time and time again, shows just how much he values the kids and how much faith he has in them.

It is inexplicable that he didnt chuck Weston on for at least 10 minutes against Barnsley and tell him to go enjoy himself.

If nothing else, he could grow to become a sellable asset that we could use to recoup the money we have lost from being out of both cups in the first round.

Probably flog him for £100k in January. How can we develop young players and sell them on if needed for a huge profit, if they don't get in the first team ? He would have made an impact last night with his pace, especially as Warne was lamenting not having Wash to " run in behind".

If i were Weston i would be totally disillusioned now -unless Warne has explained his non appearance -last night i felt would have been an ideal opportunity to give him at least 20mins

Would seem that a 3 month loan to a league 2 club would be good for him if Warne is not going to bother playing him.

Rather he stayed here and got game time he is 20 already been on loans when at Rangers. The lad is hungry to succeed and we need his type of fox in box player not the Collins/Waggy/Washington mould.

I would prefer that too.

Time to wheel this one out again...

Warne absolutely infuriates me. We’ll end up losing this lad. We’re 3-1 down, and he brings on Sonny chuffing Bradley.

Yes, so he could change to wing backs
