Won 3-1 at Swansea yesterday.

Maybe it's a false dawn but in the pit of despair the first team are showing its nice to see the younger level, mainly filled with local lads producing results, perhaps we have got our house in order better at that age group.

It seems we have some half decent youngsters. Unfortunately we know not many will make it to the big time, but it’s interesting that DR has remarked about having close links to the first team. At the moment it’s understandable!

It's the result of the club change in mindset and personnel as Ty mentioned elsewhere, we are now seen as a place to come to for younger lads that aren't at the top level. 

Thompson and Holdsworth being very much the driving force for it.

So this increased good feeling around the younger age groups, can we blame DC for that?

Nah, that would mean praising the guy wouldn't it.

I mean heaven forbid we say something positive about the bloke eh.

No all bad things however minor are wholly down to DC. Good things are purely accidental and can in no way be attributed the him........ apparently.

I'm guessing Rovrum @owl71?

Only time I’ve ever been to that shithole was in the away end.  Grew up in Hunters Bar, now live in South West London.

Great news, success breeds success. The fabric of our club does seem positive and bodes well for the future.

Hope we get a gem through, ok we are, at least currently, moving in the right direction but it would be  pivitol if we did and got a 10m plus fee for a player, would change the whole landscape.

Played a fair bit for the 18s, very highly rated by us and plenty of other academies up and down the country. U15s and 16s are two very highly thought of age groups

Will Grainger who turned 16 just a couple of weeks ago is another highly rated striker from that pool who's turned out for the U18s.

@Tylluanraves about him, he's playing above his age level internationally as well.

The academy is looking like finally bearing fruit.
