The likes of Craig, Devine and Parrott will have a renewed sense of optimism under Postecoglou, given the Australian’s willingness to back young players.
These youngsters will know that they have a chance to force themselves into the first-team picture if they can impress the new coaching staff over the next couple of weeks.
