Quoted from jamesgtfc
I'm not an expert on the ability of our youth players but does anyone know how the current crop compare to others in the last 10/15 years?

The sheer number around the first team implies that they are a better bunch but having a manager willing to try certainly helps.

A lot of young players just need a chance. If Slade hadn't gone then Clifton and Wright would almost certainly have fallen down the pyramid.

For those in the know, how did prospects of years gone by compare to this crop?


We had some talented lads coming through 10-15 years ago. Danny North. Peter Bore. Andy Taylor. That wee fellah who's name I forget who went to Australia. Plus some other lads in Neil Woods' first era (Josh Fuller). None of them went above our current League level - unless the Irish league is better? The current crop hasn't peaked yet so they compare favourably.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I don't hold any grudge toward Woods for his brief tilt at management. As we know he had players some of which had the worst attitudes I have seen. It was too early to make any difference at that time. Don't know who could have sorted that lot out.

Forgot he was a home grown player.
