We play similar to the first team where everything is down one side, and yes the long ball is used quite a bit. We must be taught the same as the first team but i enjoy watching them because there is more effort and it's more honest football with no diving and players feigning injuries

Saw this before I went to the match on Saturday, meant to come back over the wekend to see how they had finished up.

Love to see this kind of thing, thanks, very much appreciated.

How many if any do you think we could see coming through in the future? How does Eric Dier look? do you think he will sign in the summer?

Was actually thinking at the match on Saturday that there was 3 players from our 1998 youth cup winning side on the pitch, being Ossie, Tony and Dunne, and at lest one more who has played in the premier league this season in Keith Southern, who I think was on the bench. How many other clubs have that many youth players from the same team still playing in the top division.
 
Firstly, thank's for your kind comments and with regards to your question as to who i think will make it is a question i've been asked a thousand times. Players can impress one week and not the other and as a lot of them are first year scholars it may be easier to answer your question in 12 months time when they have completed their scholarship. John Lundstram has been called up for the England. U17's but does nothing for me, Eric Dier looks ok and could be a good catch for a club in the near future and whether he will sign for us unfortunatley i can't answer that but i will keep you posted

Garbutt came with some plaudits behind him. Bit early yet or ready to move through ?
 

I believe Eric Dier is going back to Lisbon when the season is over and Everton have yet to make a decision on his future

No problem on the comments, keep up the good work mate.

TBH the way things are going we all know that we will need to keep pulling good kids through, because without the investment we just can't compete.

Also liked your comments earlier about the honesty angle with the youth's footy, I think we are all getting a bit tired of the over paid prima donna's across the premier league. Either that or I'm just getting older.
 
Nice one Bally, defo need more of these. Can't believe I missed this!
