Self hate is believing that stacking lower league football with colts teams and expecting fans to simply fall into line.
And despite how radical and forward thinking our coaches are supposed to be, I've never seen a top flight loaned in league one or league two who could compete with the adults around them who was younger than 21, and even then it was 1 player (Dom Thomas).
Even kids who went to the championship on loan were woefully ill prepared. Aidan Wilson? Liam Burt? Liam Lindsay? Jack Aitchison? Daniel Harvie? Danny Rodgers? We simply don't develop the talent from a young age to a standard where they will ever be good enough to be good top flight players. Trying to give them those skills by the time they're 18 or 19 is a losing battle that colt football isn't going to fix.
