    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.
    We signed Ralls at 15. McBurnie was signed at 18 and James at 17. Ralls is undeniably a youth team player

    Under18’s are still Academy players and under 23’s as well?They don’t come 1st team coaches but Academy set up? Matondo went to Manchester City as a 16 year old?
