So much for Lennon Peake being the answer to our midfield problems then

I'm not surprised, although it makes the decision to retain Antwi and in particular Conte a little odd.

Tom Davies' loan to Pontypridd being treated as a success in this article - it's hard to argue with that opinion if they're right about EFL clubs being interested in him for the coming season,

Only time will tell whether these Welsh club loans are the right way to go I suppose, but it looks promising for Davies.
Who else went to a Cymru Premier club last season? There was Leahy, who we've just released, and goalkeeper Turner - was there anyone else?

Caleb Hughes did as well didn't he? Haverfordwest I think.

I'd say that most of the loans to Welsh non league sides down the years haven't worked, but that doesn't mean that the odd one can't be a success - let's hope Davies gets a move to the EFL this season - he's one of those who needs to be doing more than playing under 23 games now.

Looks interesting, but the U21s have a friendly at Aston Villa on the 21st, so perhaps there'll be a mix of u18s too.

Good spot. That should be good experience for some of them.

Every team with a reasonable Academy is being cherry picked. One of the biggest sadnesses of modern football is how it is so easy for big to f@ck small!
