There seems to have been less of a clamour for the youngsters to be given first team opportunities in recent times.
Are they that dreadful?
There were lots of threads on here about Marshall and Cuvelier at one point and they clearly weren't of the required standard, so are the current bunch even worse?

Marshall was easily of standard when we had Shotton patrolling the wing! And I'd play Shenton over Adam every day of the week!

Ollie Shenton is a completely different type of player to Charlie Adam so how can you compare them.

Playing these tournaments is excellent, we need more of it.
I noticed the Generation Adidas tournament we won last year has already started this year, so I guess we aren't going back to defend our title!

Does anyone know why we haven't started the second development phase yet for the indoor pitches?

Dont know why they havent started them yet but was quiet interesting hearing charlie on soccer am say that our facilities are not very good (or along them lines) and that he hoped that we would we invest more into them. I though they were meant to be really good facilities what we've had built?

Last years team was a mix of 1st year scholars and u16's. As there were only a couple of u16's kept on this year they may have struggled for numbers.

Nice bit of passing for the second Stoke goal - and a cracking hit (about 1 min 20 in)

Nice bit of passing for the second Stoke goal - and a cracking hit (about 1 min 20 in) He's the lad we've got on trial from Exeter, Max Smallcombe. They've offered him terms but no idea if he's signed or not, I think it's his Dad Paul asked on Twitter but he never got back in public anyway! Another U-16.

Presumably it'll be on before the Arsenal-Liverpool game?
