People seemingly forgetting about the academy, some cracking talents in the pipeline who I have no doubt will be knocking on the first team door in the next 2 years. Snelgrove and Jarvis score goals for fun, Jake Leake is physically one of the best players we’ve had come through in years. Hope they get a chance in pre season because I have no doubt they’ll take it.

Hopefully Daws and Van Der Veen the former Dutch youth team coach, will still provide that pathway for them as we have proven over the past 5 seasons we are producing really talented lads more and more.

Jarvis has had an offer to return to York (now in the National League), I reckon he'll go back. Snelgrove has had offers from Scottish Championship and the National League too, so he has options but he wants to spend pre season with City.

Jarvis didn't seem to get much game-time at York so I'd be surprised if they'd want him back.

Him and Snelgrove have bags of time on their hands. As long as they can play regularly in the National League, that'd be great for them.

I think he may have meant Scarborough
 
After Traoré and Sayyadmanesh, I think a new holding midfielder should be our next priority. Preferably someone with longevity in their mid-20s who can break up play but importantly, pass the ball well. Smallwood did okay in that role but we desperately need someone who can look up and pick a pass quickly and move the ball forward. We struggle in games when we have more of the ball because we just can’t effectively link the midfield and forwards.
 
If we're serious about our youths and ever expect them to be first teamers, they need to be cutting their teeth in League 1 or 2 not below.

It depends, they have to crawl before they can walk and playing at a club that won't play them every week would be detrimental to their progress. It would be much better to go somewhere for half a season and be first choice, than go to a League One or Two club and sit on the bench for most of the games.

Sure, if their end goal is being a first teamer at a League One club. If the youth setup isn't producing players of the calibre to be in and around the first team in League Two, those players are unlikely to make it in a (hopefully) top half champ team.
 
Yeah, I think that Scarborough have just promoted to National League North, while York have just promoted out of there to the National League.
York vs Scunny.....tasty
York vs Cods...possibly very tasty.
Though I think Grimsby will get back to the efl, come Sunday.
 
One of city’s greatest advantage is the huge catchment area we have, there’s no surprise we have lots of talent coming through.

Really hope the new regime continue to invest in that side of things, the only thing that beats a million pound superstar is a local grown superstar!

ERCFA at their last meeting said there are 7000 grassroots players in the ER, which is a high percentage base on the population.
