U23s, Academy and Loanees

So if Devine goes, then the U21s left that are closest to the first team are Vuskovic, Takai, Scarlett and Olusesi.

Even more loans to follow?

Yang is off to portsmouth allegedly. Scarlett and vuskovic are available for loans. Takai not on the list.
Oluessi hasn't been mentioned at all.
 
No, we've had players go to championship and get splinters in their arse, it's a lottery, if team are struggling manager goes for experience, if new manager comes in they might not fancy him.
OK righto.... It's not as if the teams in the PL have bigger, better squads than the teams in the Championship after all is it?
 
The chart halfway down this article here: BBC Article shows how badly we were run for several years.

No proper investment into the academy in terms of bringing in players, keeping players, coaching players or creating pathways for players.

It is incredible how badly run we were for a while and we're paying for that terrible direction from the top now.

Considering our injury crisis last season, 505 minutes is simply shocking!!

It is, but our fans don't help. Even when we gave up on the league i asked for us to play moore and academy players to play more. Just got met with a wall of "they're not ready".
How can they ever be?

We'll hardly get any minutes this season as we have loads out on loan. Problem began years ago not loaning and giving opportunities. Not having competitive wages for young players.
