Hildy 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fair enough, if the ambition is to become a successful under-20 side. The lad in the thread the other day about our youth policy was slating us for focusing on the first team - but what else is the rationale for being a full time professional sports club? Every team below the first exists to provide players for that top team and for that reason only. Well said. Imagine missing out on an opportunity to play in the first team because of a youth game. As you say, everything below the first team exists to one day benefit said first team. Youth has had few chances as it is this season as we plod on with a team averaging around 28 years of age, and now we are finding yet more reasons to deny young players a crack at the first team. The youth team's success is being rewarded by their players being excluded from top team opportunities. It is utterly bizarre. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
