Allowing the youngsters to express themselves, a good balance between team performances and what the academy exists for, feeding players into the 1st team. There’s also a train of thought within the game that you learn by failing - Don’t get me wrong I want to win every game I’m involved in...
His been on a fast-track program and is almost done, worth noting that he does already in-fact have the qualification to coach at academy/23s level, what I meant was in terms of experience in that his only taken less then a handful of games as a coach on his own and that’s been in the Sussex...
Crofty still needs to complete his badges, but is a real people person, likes talking to the players walking them through senarios on where to improve, where they had options etc. I think he will do well, but maybe get a Mark Beard or Ben Smith in alongside him.
But to answer your questions...
Respect your opinion and very interesting how others see things, but I'm afraid either/or have no involvement in the academy, and that's before, during or after any lockdown/pandemics.
I can tell you from first hand experience over many years that our AM John Morling, has to fight tooth and...
Furlong is probably having best season at Albion to date, no real injuries this season, I just feel the Sturge is a great prospect, hopefully you will get to see him play soon.

Yes but that I feel is a good thing, so many of the so called big boys are getting 16 to 19 year olds in the first team, that because they have the best development coaches.
We have some awesome young talent that just needs properly developing, tonight we have Toby Collyer and Zack Sturge...
Toby has done a lot better last two fixtures, but is lacking development at the club, very much a sideways and backwards cdm type of player, he's got a lot of potential but needs help to develop that potential.
Unfortunately the best development coach at the club is the under-16 coach who...
Yes Evan has been with us, in and out, since last season, we always had a pre-contractual agreement with him so was always going to be a Brighton player.
I know that he wanted to finish the Irish national cup competition (he scored in and won the final just before Xmas) before coming in full...
Yapi was one of Mr Potters first signings, so interesting his not had more of a push, I know he has a slight niggle injury at the moment, but I and a lot of staff rate him very highly, I said it before his very quick and without the ball quicker then Lamptey, however Lamptey is probably the...
