Sound like Ibby on the phone in who thinks DR and Rhino should have him on speed dial! I told DR the league and cups to apply for just after the takeover and others several times since. These are the Central League North West, The Lancashire Senior Cup and the Manchester Senior Cup. If the B side have no league to play in next season what is Jeffers doing here?

Ah, the old Pontins League. I used to enjoy those reserve games, but then our second string was better than any first team we've had for 25 years. Thursday nights, if I remember. Free entry for Seasons ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Does anyone go and watch youth games? From the brief highlights provided it does look like pretty pedestrian, low grade stuff - so unconvinced that a step up for anyone ripping it up there should necessarily be demanded. I recall the last time there was a bit of an outcry that an apparently prolific striker didn't get a professional deal; Brendy Glackin back in Corney days. He made zero impact in the professional ranks and as far as I can tell appears to be with a club that plays in the third tier of Northern Irish football, his 7th club since leaving us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my view as well. Jake Forshaw scores a few and the clamour goes out for him to be in the first team picture - I trust in Unsworth to judge the lad’s readiness, if and when.

I see the B Team getting competitive football as close to essential otherwise, apart from selling the odd kid at a very early stage, it makes the youth system all but pointless. The renewed commitment to it must be a good thing but it's only a part of the planned whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The renewed commitment to it must be a good thing but it's only a part of the planned whole When Brentford scrapped their Academy in 2016, they introduced the B team. This has served them well. Interestingly though, the Academy was reintroduced this season - possibly a Premier League stipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Forshaw is miles away he couldnt even get in Avro's team. the whole point of the new set up is we dont ruin our prospects by playing them too soon eg Luamba. and before anybody (BP) says 'if youre good enough youre old enough' he isnt good enough (yet). at the absolute most put him ont bench last match, but we shouldnt.
