I don't think you're looking hard enough tbf I think he needs a years loan playing every week against men , Harry Kane never just appeared in the Spurs first team!
I'd keep Ballance in move Root to 3 and bring in Rashid and Barston in for Bell (avegraging 10) and Lythe if we don't act now we'll be in for another pasting we can keep starting 5 for 30 odd every innings
