Academy is the backbone of the club. Long may it last. Had some great players come through it.

Something to be very proud of, and a great way to attract the best young talent to the club.
Well done to all those involved.

But in 4 years under Robins it has produced the following regular first team players

Year 1 - Bayliss & Shipley
Year 2 - MacCallum
Year 3 - Nobody
Year 4 - Eccles (fringe)
Next year - Drysdale?


This is a piss poor return on investment.

Mccallum didn’t come through the academy. We haven’t produced a championship quality footballer since Maddison. Before that Wilson and then Christie I guess. Not great

Depends on the pool available to recruit from really.
Then what level were at for them to come through and slot in .
If two or three are capable to fill in you have more budget for say a McNulty to bang em in and get promoted?

Not sure Drysdale was either. Wasn’t he with Tranmere?
