U23s, Academy and Loanees

I mean, why haven't these youngsters been playing for the first team scoring 20+ goals for us....

Doesn't matter we have only just signed 2 of them...

We are clearly playing a numbers game by supplementing our academy ranks with more and more players. Not a big deal for me unless the rules change and we can't have unlimited loans for this age group. All the time we can, I think we'll keep bringing them in, loaning them out and seeing if they can make the 1st team if not bring in a healthy transfer fee.

What must not happen though is a lack of path to our first team because of having a bloated squad. I was thinking yesterday how Ash Phillips might have dealt with that game when compared to Dragusin. Phillips is having a stellar season at Stoke and it is possible he might get promoted to our squad next season. If not, I bet we turn him into a profitable venture if we go down the path of selling him.
