U23s & Academy

Academy needs a total revamp in every department. Fuck Shola off as this 'loan manager', literally only Elliot Anderson has had a successful loan in the last few years that I can think of and that's because he's miles ahead of League 2 in terms of ability. The club for years has loaned out players ad infinitum where they get hardly any playing time until they reach 23, 24 where they aren't really young players anymore. They then end up being sold for a pittance or end up at Gateshead or Blyth. 

 

In future we need to be giving some of these lads a chance at a senior competitive level. Either get concrete guarantees about playing time when loaning them out or give them a chance in early League Cup or FA Cup ties against ≤League 1 opposition for the first team, which we never seem to do for some reason.

We need an affiliate abroad IMO. Somewhere in Belgium or Holland where we can start getting our youngsters some mileage. Then they can come back and get a proper loan.

 

Once we get a reputation for bringing through decent youngsters, clubs won't fuck our young uns about so much.

Any idea what he did to get thrown out?
