Knocked out the Youth Cup to AFC Wimbledon :lol:

 

A giant-killing this may have been, but there was no shock in an embarrassing reverse that raises questions over our mentality and preparation - in addition to the lack of playing style and cohesion echoed at U21 and senior level. Thoroughly rotten from top to bottom.

 

Anyone attending in the hope that they'd see any reason for future optimism will have been massively disappointed, but this was anything but a fluke result.

 

There are undoubtedly talented youngsters on our books club, but absolutely zero evidence of any development or progression, calling into question exactly why we bother with an Academy at all.

Apparently most of their players come from Sunday football.

This is just as worrying as what's going on with the first team. Our U18 and U21 teams have been bloody awful this season.

 

The U21s are 10th (out of 12) in the Premier League Division Two, whilst the U18s are 9th (again out of 12) in the North Prem. What happened the idea of bringing players through for the future of the club?

 

Sure they'll come out and say they're like Ajax and Barca, where they're concentrating more on playing the 'right way' than getting results. Which if it was actually the case would be fair enough. Sadly I doubt that somehow.
