all the players we've brought through recently have done ok. none have looked out of their depth, it does make you wonder who else could have made it if only they were given a chance
Fair point.

I shudder to think of the players who we didn't develop as well as we should have or expose to first team football in recent years (over a decade really) because we have had a prehistoric attitude to youth and player development.

I mean, what was the point in us even having an academy over the last decade.. what a waste of money if the return on investment was less than nothing.

Glad things are changing.
