    Superb result, the boys are doing so well. Would love to see some getting the chance to move into the first team, not this season though, maybe take a few on preseason tour to integrate them and give them their shot next season.

    As you say, superb result.
    But, not one good enough to play in the EPL, I'm afraid.
    Gary Richards and Cameron Toshack's foray into senior team coaching also suggests there is a huge difference between the unders and 1st team.
    Being part of the summer tour or even a mid season get away would do them good.
    If we are relegated a couple might find their way into the senior side.

    McBurnie and Roberts are head and shoulders superior to other under 23 in any of the games I've seen ... and neither of them are up to the task.
    A few might be worth taking a punt on to get them senior team experience.

    I agree with you and it seems someone with more knowledge than us doesn't rate the league or prepare them for league football.

    I manage Garden Village u19s and we played the Swans in the last 15 I think, we gave them a really good game, but they beat us 4-1, but my boys get together once a week whilst they are all training every day. I was surprised how close we were to them

    I said months ago that he would be in many clubs thoughts and if i was him i would seriously consider any club that offers you a chance to be their first team manager....
