Young Un's Done Good

Good to see all 3 of our U.18 players playing against Russia tonight.( Armstrong captained the side ) Woodman, Armstrong and Barlaser starred as we beat the Russians 2-0. Young Arma getting a goal from the penalty spot before he was taken off inside the last 5 mins. The other 2 lads played full 90 mins. Well done and hope their progress continues as we desperately need development players to come through.

 

Barlaser has really been causing a stir down there with the youth. It appears we have quite a few highly rated youngsters. I hope they can make the cut.

 

Here's hoping McClaren can see the potential and open up first team opportunities for some of them. Even if we sell on for profit in a few years, it's still preferable to loaning out to Macclesfield and Gateshead, and watching the talent go to waste. Some determination in the cups would create a good outlet for some of our younger players.
