This sounds really exciting, IMO. We will see increased attention towards youth setups over the years for many cash-strapped teams, with it being a more viable method, instead of buying from other teams.

I must say that this is very excitng.

Can't remember the last time we had a good article about the youth team or reserve team. Thanks Woody.

Nice one Woody, good report. Always good to hear how the youngsters are doing because like Campo says, we may have to become more reliant on the academy producing talent.

Bringing on youth is the key to the clubs development. We don't always hear enough which we assume in the past it was a case of them just being released. It's good to see it finally come off and know its not just a flash in the pan.

Thanks for your efforts Woody, a very encouraging , in depth article on our future Wanderers.
Let's hope some of them come to shine for the first team in the future.

On the subject of Riley, anyone think he could get an England U21 call up. He's 20 now so not a great deal of time left, but if he plays Vs West Brom then he surely has to be the best candidate. One of the few in the U21's who could be holding down a starting place in a Prem' team.

Woody I thought he should be in there as well. But hopefully now he'll get a regular run in the first team and that'll give him a shot at a three lions shirt for the u-21's now. And don't forget that Pearce CAN name two overage players in there so it's not certain he'd only get a game or two.

Come on Owen, after that performance against Stoke Riley's GOT to stay in hasn't he?
