I dont be daft, its a one off single game its hardly a 'cup run' .... yet.
A one off game ? Does that mean if we the first team win Saturday we get into a semi final ?

My mistake they beat Norwich previously too, so thats good ...
Glad you have understood the concept of a 'CUP' competition as opposed to a friendly or league
Yes thats right I totally agree, create a development/recruitment environment where we might make them think, early identification, perhaps high status trusted coaches, definitely a local lad with an affinity to the club, reluctantly use the cash saved on further afield recruitment thats key too, absolutely.
I cannot comment on Molumby, however Iceland has the population of Eastbourne, so for me go for the best Eastbourne youngster ahead of Mar Larrussen .......
For balance, I believe that the Iceland national side is a little stronger than Eastbourne Borough.
Mar Larrussen, scored four in his first Albion game at U18 level, at the age of what, 15?
Yes, good result, why would I wish anything other than for them to win.
But if you are trying to compare the success of one random win against Everton last night on penalties (although a good result) as against the FA Youth Cup run in 2005/06 then I think you are winging it a little ......
Just a shame that [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] will never give him any credit (because he's clearly a second-rate prospect ignored by the top academies).
A complete and utter misrepresentation of what I am saying,
.. we are by default tapping into the level below the very best in those countries that seem to be quite predominant in our current recruitment activities.
[MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] - you are so blinkered by your firmly-held anti-everywhere-but-Sussex bias that you don't even see it. You accuse me of misrepresenting you, and then two hours later go and repeat exactly what I've accused you of.
Probably worth noting that the population of Icelan is over 3x that of Eastbourne and, more significantly, the average age of Eastboune residents is 71 (source - ONS). I'd imagine that there's a limited talent pool of 14-21 year old footballers.For balance, I believe that the Iceland national side is a little stronger than Eastbourne Borough.
