....with the likelihood that after 5mins, fans will be shouting “just get him off the friggin pitch”.

Almost a certainty.
....but that might be club strategy. I don’t know if it is, but perhaps those on big contracts have to play to try and shift them on. Unsworth might have no say in those instances.

Not just talking about Simms mate. Think the need to win games over looking at players is Unsworths approach and its not productive in my view.
Get the winning approach but playing players that wont be there after the summer or even this time next year rather than talking a chance to blood a youngster who could excel with the step up should be the remit for the 23s set up.

Maybe ive been lucky when I go the match but even if he was out of his depth when he made a cameo I cant see him getting abuse. People in here must be sat by some horrors
Would imagine it would be out of Unsworth's hands if Brands wanted certain players to step up. I know you can never be sure of anything where Everton are concerned, but I would hope that these decisions aren't just being made randomly, and there is an underlying youth development plan which is being followed with these players.

I don't understand why he isn't with the u23s. Even if he isn't good at that level what's the point in 2 more months of dominating the u18s? Just move him up already.
Regardless of his strike rate in the U18's the gap between youth and senior football is massive. If he's a big lad for his age then there may be a chance he's going to look much better at U18's then he actually is.
For example, Everton have regularly played their U23 side in the Liverpool Senior Cup against the likes of Prescot Cables, Bootle, Marine and other giants of the game. For these games in the last couple of years it's been something much closer to the U18 team that has took the field and they've often struggled when playing against senior sides even if those sides are at tiers 7,8 or 9 of the football pyramid. They haven't been kicked off the field by grocks but just outplayed and struggled with the physicality of the game - nothing dirty but just a matter of physical strength and the mentality to cope constantly coming off second best in challenges - you see them get exasperated by it and just give up after a while.
Bringing a lad into a PL game just cos he's banging them in at U18 level is nonsense. Maybe he's trained with senior players on occasion and looked completely out of his depth or even with the U23's. If he's good enough then great but stats at that level don't tell an awful lot.
