I'll admit I haven't seen much U23/academy football apart from the occasional 30 minutes, when I have insomnia, on the club's website.

I'm curious because I know a few people on here (possibly led by TOBW) watch a lot of it.

My main question is - is this current crop of youngsters the best we've had in a few academy generations of youngsters? Also are they that much better than the past graduates? Or are we just going with youth because it's cheap and this is what we have available? Or is it somewhere between the two?
