    Something that comes across when I hear the academy coaches talking, is that they really care for the players and want them to develop into the absolute best they can be. Constantly push, challenge and encourage. Seems like an excellent environment that's been created.

    Disagree on Murty, too much of a wordsmith for me, too educated, not Northern enough. Ethos? Did Speakman sit him down and tutor him to say this? Disgrace.

    Jokes aside, the main thing about this squad of young lads is, I expect the majority of them to end up playing league football at some point.

    From the lads I've seen, I'm sure Jones will make it, he's got an immense engine and just needs to play mens football, fill out and also maybe at a bit more consistency. Keep playing without fear.

    Crompton looks solid and good in the tackle and quite comfortable on the ball, think he'll make a good RB or RCB.

    Tommy simply has to be playing in a top 2 division for his whole career.

    Also think Caden Kelly has more than enough quality to play in League 2, just another older lad that hasn't experienced enough men's football and hasn't really filled out.

    He and Jones possibly hampered by injuries?

    Lightfoot will play U21 football by end of season, Whittaker as well plus good chance of a few more getting minutes there

    Lightfoot is the 1 I have the most excitement for

    Seems we have a steady stream of younguns coming through now. Exciting times ahead. Always better for me seeing the local lads get in

    Nice goals. That Geragusian is a big old lad, mind. What with him and Ogunsuyi I'm thinking we're dropping a bit of HGH into the striker's meals at the AoL
