Simon Grayson has sent young defender Charlie Taylor out on loan to neighbours Bradford City for a month, but given our latest defensive shambles should he be on the fringes of making the first XI at Leeds?

Taylor has made three apperances for Leeds this season, ironically his first in the Carling Cup win over Bradford City in August.

The idea behind this is to give Taylor some competitive experience in League Two, Grayson successfully loaned Tom Lees out to Bury and Aidan White to Oldham prior to their emergence in the first team.

However given the latest defensive shambles at Barnsley, there will be those who will be saying surely Taylor could not do any worse than Grayson's flops at Oakwell.

leedstooth added 20:48 - Jan 1 While sending the youth out to gain experience could be considered a good thing , it should be remembered that David O'Leary introduced such players as Woodgate and Kewell to a team inherited from George Graham , and these introductions pushed us on to success and European football. We should point out that even Messi was young once. Get them in there - if they're good enough they're old enough.
