Shore we do.

Did he come through the academy or did we have to shell out for him?

Does he work hard or just coast through games?

Nice to see 6 Under 18s in the reserves squad. 
I watched the youth team on Saturday morning winning 7-1 against Norwich.
Unfortunately my joy in watching that was totally ruined by the First Team losing in the afternoon.
The whole purpose of the youth team is to provide players for the first team and nothing more.

It follows that if you have a good crop you will be successful at youth level but a poor team with one outstanding player is better than a successful team with nobody making the first team.
Contrary to popular belief the club are always aware of this.

The match was good - the commentator was superb - a cross between Test Match Special and Stuart Hall

Blimey. Does the Ladies manager play the defence out of position too?

Most unladylike Shirley?

The gentlemen would have taken the foot off the pedal after 6 like Liverpool at Villa Park a few years ago. They could have scored a baker's dozen. Gabby had a bout of vertigo, though, so maybe they thought more of our players would go down dizzily and get the match abandoned Warnock stylee.
