I understand that, but as I said earlier that is an argument against using the loan system at all. We are not in a position to not use loans at all, and any league one manager who does not use the loan system (both in and out) is letting their club down. The difference this season is that we have used the loan system with an aim to strengthen the first team rather than just fill the squad.
So that boat has sailed, we've got our squad for the season and you pick the best team you can for each game. To not pick a better player because he is only on loan would be totally daft. And again, as i said earlier that argument to pick Bass ahead of Bazanu would have applied just as much if Bass had played rubbish, but I'm sure no-one would be arguing for it.
Besides, playing matches is only one part of developing a young keeper. Good coaching plays a part too, and the evidence of the way he played is that Bass is coming along nicely with whatever the Cowleys are doing with him.
Bazanu played well, we won the game, Cowley got it right.
