Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great. Too bad it had to go down all the way to penalties. Nevertheless, delighted to have won the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 40-50 pounds?I mean, looking at the first team's last few performances, the ticket prices of the youth team should be set at minimum 100 pounds...

However doesn't it or shouldn't it ask the powers that be at the club that something is significantly wrong that these talented young players are not making the grade? I know their opportunitys are limited which obviously doesn't help their development but it seems they hit a brick wall come 18? To me there is something awry with the coaching staff at this level at the club as these youngsters are simply not stepping up, I hope that questions have been asked & the next generation are given every opportunity to make it, including top level coaching.

If we had something real in place for 18 to 22 year olds to develop properly we would be developing some seriously quality players. As it stands we have proper talent like Connor Clifford, Jacob Mellis, Billy Clifford ect.. just sitting around kicking their heels playing poor standard reserves football. Until something changes we are going to continue to struggle to develop our own for first team. Of course it doesnt help that we do not even give them a chance.

Although it does not have to be the Championship, even starting off in league 2 or lower would be good and then working up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd as much i detest them seem to get it right as they are regularly producing young players that are in the first team - Welbeck & Cleverly the latest 2. Its perceived that the club are making some catastrophic mistakes with their decision making, in how to get the very best out our future stars of tomorrow, you only have to look at the way Josh MacEachran has been handled this season to see my point, imho I believe there has been a combination of very poor decision making & some coaching not up to the required standards. A succession of managers who havn't utilized the youth either doesn't help.I believe nothing beats experience & if young players are good enough they should be introduced into the first team fold, if they are not ready they should go out on loan were the club should ensure that they get a minimum amount of playing time before releasing them to loan clubs, look how well that benefited Sturridge at Bolton last season. Mediocrity has manifested itself in the first team with atleast 5 or 6 senior players blocking the path of our youth, not their fault but the clubs again for not throwing out the likes of Maloulda, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Hilario et al but those players you mention could of been given their places in the squad & thus their path opens up - surely we must have an up & coming RB that can defend who should be in the squad ahead of Bosingwa?I truly hope that we have learnt from those many mistakes over those costly years & they are behind us because I see a very bright future ahead for us just as long as those young players get the expert coaching required & the club make the right calls on their future development.
