Average age of the squad is an interesting one.

I was going to comment that I thought we had an 'old' squad (30+) - thinking of the likes of Ratch, Vaughan, Dudson, Kasiano, Minikin, Mata'utia, even Bullock.

However we have 5 players in the 1st 18 (all players fit) would could be considered 'young' (sub 25) - Josh Thewliss, Matty Ashton, Connor Wrench, Danny Walker, Matty Nicholson, but Thomas Makaele and Matty Ashton are 25.
And obviously in the higher squad numbers the majority are academy products.

So all-in-all I think we seem to have a reasonable balance.

It got me to thinking of a time in the 90's (I think) when we had half the squad aged over 30 and the other half under 20, with nothing in between - a crazy situation.

What did you mean by 'he had his chance to come to Wire' ?
