Having watched our youth teams for many years I for one wouldn't say Walter is reluctant to give youth a chance, if they are good enough they will get that chance. Most people that call for youth players to be included usually haven't actually seen them, or have seen them only briefly. Nobody would like to see some of them progress in to the first team more than me, but only if they are good enough. They seems to be a perception that our youths are better than what they really are, where as results are not the most important aspect, we have finished third in the youth league the last two seasons. Of the Hibs side that won the league two years ago only Hanlon and Wotherspoon have made the breakthrough, from Celtic last season, Forrest has only made a breakthrough this season. In the same period Fleck and Wilson were integrated into a league winning side. One or two others have had a taste, Ness has had his injury problems and this season Hutton is ahead of schedule having impressed pre-season. I hope to be proved wrong, but if you have read my reports this season's youths don't appear to be the same quality as the past few seasons. That's not to say there isn't 1 or 2 prospects, but the reality is we have to win every game at first team level, and at the moment none of the younger players would improve the team.

He was one of four French youngsters who where on trial at start of the season. Two of them came back and played a couple more games, Gafaiti was the most impressive and looks like he has got a contract, midfield player looked decent with out being a standout. Skillful but also looked pretty strong, he is only 16 though, so early days.

He had an excellent game, the other players were calling the trialists (gk) Conner (No 4) Brendan (No 7) Fraser (No 17) Jake. Two of them were Canadian, which two I don't know.
