Tavares didn't stand out that much to me considering he's a fair bit older than most.

I liked the look of Rus though

Impressed with Dinanga's defensive side. Bapaga looked confident receiving the ball. McGrath my motm though. Looks a proper defender.

Howley and Bapaga. Bapaga particularly in the first half.
In terms of progression into first time- think you’re right. Just Howley I’d be confident about.

Howley, Dinanga and Bapaga stood out for me. Maybe we don't need as many signings next year as we thought.

Felt a bit ragged in the second half - we were like a lower league team battling to hold off a higher league team in the FA Cup (great commitment, though) Really pleased for them.

Apologies if it has already been answered but, does this win come with a promotion to the next youth level?

Been good end to season by a number of teams below the first team, U/16s & U/18s lost in cup-finals both against Ipswich and now this victory bodes well.

They're second goal rattled us, but i still think we showed good composer! (Excluding extra time which was nerve wracking!)

That's true, even more so now we are looking upwards in the championship, and, in general I would have to agree with you, it's unlikely all 3 will be first team quality, but I've had a couple beers so they are all going to be cov legends

That is a great result. Having been generally unimpressed on my visit to Wigan to see U23's , I'm glad to be proven wrong. A great reward for the effort shown over season and really special for the players who aren't staying and to go out on a real high.

No. Only category a academies play in the top division. This is the highest we can go at the moment

Never seen him play but I think Rus is highly thought of.

How much would it cost to upgrade to that level?

Robins doesn't use young players too often
Only Sam McCullum has broken through and become a regular that I can remember
But I guess Josh Eccles would have played a lot more if he hadn't been injured

Neither have I, but I remember reading he was light weight but skillful. We managed to sort Tavares out in that respect so hopefully he will follow suit.

Out of those three though, you'd expect howley to be in and around the first team next year for sure. Some of his passing today was sublime, and strong on the ball.

He's been around the first team for a while
Like McCullum he's powerful and has a good physique which suits Robins style of play
If he does well pre season he will be involved next year
