There's nothing to gain from persevering with them.
Except buying some time for kids to develop naturally, instead of burning the kids on the alter!
I know I bang on, but I fear fans just do not give enough credence to the mental damage that can be done to the kids long term by flogging them while they lack the strength and skills to overcome the adversity. It's too easy to say they must learn, but you just churn out a playing list full of Pavlov's Dogs if things go the wrong way! The little wins will be drowned out by the many losses, they'll be lost to Carlton and they will then leave and progress at some other club, the fresh start they need to remove the mental barriers.
