Bit weird for avb to comment really.

One of his main roles in receiving the job was to get more spurs youngsters off the production line.

The youngsters have stagnated this year thanks to both avb not risking them and sherwood sending them on silly loan deals.

I can only hope avb is building up to the unveiling of 4-3-3 next year as all the youngsters play in this manner anyway.

Very bizarre comments from avb to make, almost highlighting he has not achieved one of the targets.

Hope you are well weare

don't know why you find them strange mate ?

The youngsters hes talking about have a lot to learn before they get into the first team , only players who I think could of got more game time are carrol and caulker and maybe townsend , the under 21 league players are not really ready. he is just saying how well southamton have done as well to develop players like Bale Walcott etc

Im good mate, just working on my bet of the day

on a winning streak at mo

Yeah I just feel he has not done enough. For example avb got a bit of a tellin off for a game where he was going to name just 6 subs he was gently reminded that we have plenty of youngsters that could sit on the bench.

Only a small criticism though no drama.

What you gone for???

I've gone for Charlton, spurs, Bolton and forest all to win 4 way Acca.

And for spurs to win today 5-2 or 5-1.

look like. he has only been here a season mate.

and under great pressure. not sure what you could have reasonably expected him today with regard to nurturing and bringing through young players?

tom carroll seems to be doing ok under him

"The youngsters hes talking about have a lot to learn before they get into the first team"

By playing ... in lower leagues against senior players, where things are at stake (promotion, relegation) .
