Is there one, genuine potential fist team regular, let alone star, in our reserves / youth at the moment? It doesn't seem like there is. I wonder how long the academy will take to start regularly producing good first-trainers with he potential to sell on for decent money? Ten years I reckon.

A few years away I would guess but that appears to be our way forward, maybe we can get a few cast-offs like Bridcutt to keep us going

Doesn't say anything good about our youth setup when Fenelon cant get a look in at bloody Rochdale!!!!! - needs to be shipped out if he cant cut it there

Yep it's definitely the way forward, but I assume it is a very long-term strategy rather than a medium term one.

Obviously not recalled to cover C MS so will probably go out kn loan again to a Conf side. I,MHO the best prospect in the DS side is Glen Rea if and when Dunk moves on. Heard good reports on Charlie Harris.

keep him here and give him a go, he looked OK pre-season
 




So, smashed it in pre-season, now can't get in Rochdale's team. Oh dear.

Rochdale have been flying since he got there - they have one player in his position Matty Done who we should be seriously looking at, form player in League 1

come again?

Let me explain- it is coincidental, I think, that his recall comes at the same time as the news on CMS although if COG starts he could get on the bench. I do not think they would have recalled him expecting him to cover CMS in the team.

As regards good prospects in the DS squad IMHO the best is Rea a CB but his route to the first team is blocked by the form of Dunk and Greer with Hughes as back up. However based on his form this season if somebody came in for Dunk in January, Hughes wiuld move up to the team and Rea to the bench.

Isn't that what CMS, Baldock and O'Grady have been at some point? Well O'Grady was championship but with a relegated team so same difference.
