I understand and agree to a certain extent what you're saying. I think you can do that with a couple of younger players each season. However, with number of younger players we have that could claim to deserve a chance in the first team, it just isn't feasible for us to afford them that without severely harming the quality of the team.

Is it ludicrous though? I see it as we're loaning out League One standard players and loaning in Championship level players. Our players will come back after playing a load of games much better than they would be if they'd come off the bench for 10 minutes every few games.

I’m not sure what my answer would be to this question but if Rovers were offered £6-7m for Ben today, would you want Rovers to bite their hands off or want him to stay?

I entirely agree with Rev’s post. I do see a good, potentially great player in him. I’m just not sure he is a player we need in our starting lineup right now. Most games over the last couple of months I’ve found him to be one of our worst performers. I understand he’s young but we can’t afford to carry an underperforming player and provide excuses for him. Many games in the Championship are a battle and I don’t think Harvey physically has it in him to aid us in those games. Defensively he doesn’t offer us anything and if it’s a game where he isn’t afforded the time to put his foot on the ball then he disappears.
