there's a lot of improving we could do without becoming a category one academy, as some other clubs have shown.

This ranking from a couple of seasons ago shows how poor us and our friends out west have been at this.

This season 12 out of the 24 teams in the championship have a player that came from Reading's academy regularly in their first team.

Cardiff don't even have any in our own first team unless you count Ralls, and I don't think we should.
