Good point, so much for me thinking this might be Thomas' season to breakthrough into the 1st team!
For all the talk of our youth set up does any similar size club have so few players make the grade?

To be far we've had a few pinched by bigger clubs over the last two years but even with that the number of youth team players who have made it to the first team is a lot better now than its been for about 15 years. |

Pierce Mitchell most definitely hasn't been given a contract as far as I am aware. DC and the coaching staff didn't rate him.
Greenslade and Lucas have agreed new deals which I am sure will be announced soon, while Dominic Thomas is definitely still with the club as he was photographed in training on Thursday. I don't know about Ward-Baptiste, though.

Really, surely Harrison & Clarke in the last few years is hardly a good return? Lockyer having arrived via Cardiff's youth set up. |

How many players honestly work their way up through one club these days? It's even less likely the higher up the pyramid you go. |

Our youth team had been dead and buried for well over a decade so the fact we have a few in the first team now marks a definite improvement . We've also lost 3 or 4 to higher league clubs that would defiantly of cut the mustard . |

1 breakthrough a season would be considered a good return for most clubs. As somebody else said we have lost quite a few too.
In all honesty there are so many players available without clubs now that it is almost a waste of time running a youth set up mainly for the benefit of the bigger clubs for whom the FA are only really interested in as nthey do F All for the lower clubs. If the lower clubs received better compensation for players who the big teams "pinched" then perhaps it would be worthwhile.

Think DC said in his latest interview that Lucas and Greenslade have signed new deal - surprised nothing has been announced officially though.

I spoke with Lucas at the fun day and he is hoping this will be his breakthrough season and he has hopes of getting some first team football from the bench.
