With the likes of Ralls, Harris, Evans, O'Sullivan, Wharton etc coming through, the future looks bright and I hope to see a few of them breaking into the squad over the next 2-3 seasons. :ayatollah:

The Development centres are a joke sorry to say just money spinners for the club run by students. :twisted:

I think the Young Guns idea was a very good one (even though it ran into a few spelling problems early on :D ;) ) and wish it every success. Hopefully Gwyn`s update later will clarify where its got to so far.

Not sure that any of the names you list are as a result of the Development system below the Academy level though , as Ralls and Harris certainly came from other clubs - did the other 3 as well or have they always been Academy boys?

But if the level below Academy works properly it may provide 1 or 2 players a year who are good enough to move up to Academy level and the Academy itself might produce 1 or 2 for the first team squad (though probably not every season).

this issue of youth was the worst aspect of 'moans's' days here - at least we have a Manager now who will give youth a chance :ayatollah:

Don't think anyone is suggesting the young guns idea was linked to those players coming through, the topic just moved on to general chat about the youth policy of the club :ayatollah:
