What's particularly strange is that we bring in other clubs' youngsters, who are often older and look worse or no better than our own, and give them more opportunities than u21 players we've developed!
I thought Antwi got better as the season went on and the notion of him playing for the first team did not seem daft at times. However, you're right to mention his age and I agree completely with you and Adrian Alston's point about the sort of signings we make for the under 21 team.
