Jake Young is a bit of a managerial challenge

Clearly has talent, but also (allegedly) has issues with effort and application in training.

Do you

A. lower your standards to get him on the pitch where he can do good things, at the risk of a reaction from the rest of the squad along the lines of "we have to bust a gut every day in training to get in the squad or get a start, why doesn't he?"

B. Give him little tasters of match action as an incentive to improve his attitude?

C. Make him train with the kids and have weekends off until either his attitude improves or he can be moved on?

I like option B. Which it appears is what we are trying, a mix of carrot and stick. But it's a short term option, sooner or later we will have to stick or twist.
