Does anyone know if we have offered contracts to any of last year's youth team? Preston, Broom, Lyttle, Davis-Wilson etc

I hope not as none bar Preston have impressed.
I'd give preston a 1 year deal to see if he pushes on a release the rest.
We haven't had a decent youth set up since Trollop who pushed/developed 4-5 youth players into the starting line up.

Whilst I agree that we could be pushing a few more into the first team, we have produced some top quality players recently. Lockyer, Harrison, and Clarke have all featured heavily in the side that got us promoted. Jamie Lucas is very highly rated, and seems to be developing a good attitude. Dominic Thomas was offered a very good first contract last summer, which suggests they rate him highly. I think we could see the two of them play a part next season. |

Mr Oftheriver, are you crazy, or just never watched the yoof.
Lyttle is nailed-on a star in the making.

Davis Wilson is decent.

I believe the general consensus among coaches is that one youth player breaking into the first team per season is good going.

Unfortunately, the days of clubs producing young players and making a decent amount of money on them is long gone. Instead, we have to hope our youngsters become first-team pros and make it into the first XI - e.g. Harrison, do well for us and become profitable in the future. |

Our youth team do well, bigger clubs sign our youth players. Our youth team do badly, we release our youth players. We can't win, unless we become a part of the "bigger clubs". |
