Why aren't we buying more players from lower divisions? Willis and O'Nien are two of our best players and we need more like them

Cos they block the advertising?
I'd like to know what's in it for FPP to provide this investment that they have.
Also I'd like to know why SD feels unable to go to games, when even Martin Bain was perfectly safe at the SoL. 6 weeks ago he (SD) was in with the away fans ffs.

Why doesn’t the club follow the Brentford model of abandoning the academy and create a B team and get them to play fixtures against top European under 23 sides through the season? The current academy sides are being embarrassed on a weekly basis. 5 wins in 18 months. Paul Reid, you’ve failed at your job. Our young players are being picked off by bigger clubs and we’ve been left with the ones who aren’t good enough. Get out of our club whilst we have a cat 1 status

Other clubs do it, plus I don’t think blocking one bit of the boards will matter when there are 3 sides of advertising.

He runs the academy. So you’re happy with how it’s being ran? The under 18sare just as bad

cant be happy wth it..and you identified the reason why..the best players get poached at 15 and there is nowt we can do..i dont think reid has been convincing in he job at all..
bit as usually happens on here..people criticise the club for exactly the things that are not the valid things to criticise and ignore the real problems..
It seems like there's not much we can do about it until we're out of League 1. I guess it must be hard for Greenwood to turn down Arsenal or that Luca kid to turn down Liverpool when they're in the youth team of a L1 club.
and the real problems are what...
there is another 3 who have also left, one to liverpool if i remember correctly... must be what the relationship donald mentioned about.

the real prpobem is that when Paul Reid spoke last time there was no mention of a vision..or metric for what him being successful in his job looks like, he obsfuscated and bluffed..had nothing to offer in terms of what he would differently to jimmy sinclair who was there prior to him...he really did sound like someone who had been promoted quickl and is as surprised by it as everyone else....and so is defensive when questioned..JR was the same though to a lesser extent..

A question for Paul Reid.
Does the distance between your place of work and your home, have an impact on your role ?

What is the rationale behind bringing in players specifically to play for the under 23's when they haven't helped the side to be competitive. Surely bringing in the likes of Max Johnstone, Ruben Summut, Ahmed Abdelkader, Jack Bainbridge, Jordan Hunter and Cieran Dunne etc are more of a hindrance than a help in that they block pathways from the Under 18's to the Under 23's to the first team while not contributing to positive results in the under 23 set up. It's evident that very few, if any of them will ever make it at first team level.

can mean anything as a phrase...unfortunately even across the widest range of interpretations of the phrase..spneidng less than rivals but overachieiving..safc didnt pursue that..we spent more than all rival and under achieved..

Question for PR: Can you provide any examples of changes you"ve made the academy set up since you took over that you firmly believe will contribute to an upturn in academy results in the bot to distant future?
Questions for both: What is the club doing to try and ensure players dont jump ship in the future?
Other than the situation you've inherited from previous owners and the fact we're a league 1 club what has also contributed to the worrying decline in academy performances?
The club has been crying out for an identity on the pitch for years. Is this something the club intends on addressing and if so what are they going to do about it?
I would also ask if RR could try and follow up on some of the answers given if and where possible. And at the same time say thanks for taking their (RR) time out to do this.
