I'm sure we'd all like to see young players come through, but if they are not good enough, they are not good enough. If we filled the team with young lads for the sake of it, then we'd be another Orient. Fans would soon start complaining that we were doing stuff on the cheap. How many local lads have made a career in the football league lately, whether on our books or someone else's?


I think this is the problem most of the time, some fans want local lads in the team for the sake of having local lads in the time in the tiny hope that somebody from the area will become a footballing mega star that they can back...And then probably whine about when they sign for a premiership team. I don't get why people are so obsessed with the idea of local people being in the team and constantly bigging them up maybe it's just biases because they like the idea of rubbing shoulders with first team players who live down the street from them. Same reason people are obsessed with every one of the team living locally?

Not that at all for me. just think we do have the talent it has not been utilised thats all, Hurst was a play it safe man and Bignot - well he didnt know what he wanted to do.

When he is fit, I hope Asante gets on with Slade and turns out to be a good player for us. Yusuf?

Russell Slade had Harry Kane at Orient and gave him his 1st team debut, do you reckon we could get him?
