Harrison Jones To Leave Club

I get that. I'm a massive advocate of the Academy, have been for years. I do though think we don't produce enough and certainly not competitors

It definitely needs addressing. Been better this season mind.

I've alway said max 18 months at u21 level. By the age of 19 lads need to be out playing mens football

We ranked 17th in the country last year and that was an improvement on the year before based on players in the top 5 tiers and the other 4 top European leagues

Most definitely room for improvement then especially as we are a cat 1 academy

Remember that our previous owners neglected the academy and sold off promising players from it. That set our system back by years. It's definitely going in the right direction under the current regime.

And there are a good few players from across several years who've been through our academy system at some point in the EFL and Scottish league. Examples like Josh Coburn, Davis Keillor-Dunn, Michael Spellman, Josh Hawkes.

100% agree it's going in the right direction.
The current 18s group coming through to the 21s look to have some really good prospects.
Hopefully so many coming through together can push them on individually and as a 21s team
