Key would be an odd one like, when we have Hume and Huggins as specialist fullbacks then Gooch and O’Nien who can play there quite capably.

I know he can play in a back three as well but that also makes no sense, imo.
 
Key can play a few different positions so I think that versatility is always attractive, especially when his deal is up in the summer so the 'buy it now' price will be a lot lower. I'm sure he's played wing back and right midfield for Exeter too.

The lad who's told me is well known but rarely posts.

He, Grumpy Old Man, who's posted the info on RTG, and me are mutual friends. I've no doubt it's true and now just a question of whether the lad will fancy moving the length of the country.

The way young players are coached, developed and given the chance to play will help. I think playing Chris Rigg was a significant, and deliberate, statement from the club.

Just a point to those on RTG who rarely mention football but relentlessly post about other people. I'm not claiming to be the source of this info. I was also banned from RTG because I wouldn't back down in a row with Pancho, the weird Mod. Ironically the same posters who complain about him sided with him just to have a pop at me. I went back on, mainly to help my many RTG friends with tickets, etc. I obviously had to deny being Reiver, to avoid an instant ban, but was constantly reported by some of the resident cranks. I didn't post any ITK knowledge under my new name.

I've recently posted, on here, that I've now lost the last of my reliable contacts, a journalist, and rarely hear anything.

People on forums who probably never go to matches and simply attack other people, for no good reason, spoil these places for everyone ...

... but obviously think more of their own idiotic games and fragile egos than the health of the board. There's some really sad people on the Internet, I'm only posting this for general interest and not for people to take as gospel ... no one with a fully functioning brain would ever do that until 'the scarf shot'.

Any info whether it comes off or not is appreciated, especially now virtually nothing leaks out of the club!

Sounds promising, like you said the club has shown there is a pathway to first team football for young players here. So hopefully that helps now going forward

Completely agree on the Rigg situation giving him gametime. It got a lot of publicity on twitter with the FA Cup account retweeting about him being the youngest outfield player etc. It all helps with the image/profile we are going for. I'm sure the club tweeted about the average age of the team a few games ago being one of the youngest as well.

The Academy twitter even commented on the average age of the u21 team for the last time they played Norwich (which is their next fixture). It's definitely not a coincidence....

This is why it’s important to not read into the results for the 23s so many are playing up ages, hopefully the start of a canny conveyer belt of lads coming through

I mean yeh - this was a year ago yesterday. Has any photo ever depicted how far we have come in 1 year than a now unemployed Chris Maguire, whilst playing for Lincoln, destroying us and lauding it over our manager for failing. To now.

Its not even night and day. It's like different generations.

Was probably the biggest day of his career. He could have been much better imho
