LUFC Time to give the kids a chance?

'You don't win anything with kids,' I once remember Alan Hansen saying this about those from across the Pennines in the 1990`s.

Unfortunately, they were to prove Hansen wrong but is it time for Leeds to go down the same route with the academy once again producing some quality home-grown talent.

We have already seen the impact made by Sam Byram this season.

Dominic Poleon is tearing it up in League One at Bury and he impressed when given the chance by Leeds earlier in the season.

He scored on his only Leeds start against Nottingham Forest and he has the pace and direct approach we have been crying out for all season.

Ross Killock is getting rave reviews at Alfreton Town in the Blue Square Conference Premier Division.

We also saw the inclusion of Chris Dawson on the bench for Leeds on Saturday, who is also getting rave reviews in the development squad.

So what do you think?

Should Leeds give youth a chance?

To be honest, we could hardly do any worse at the moment.
