Gardner , Khouri , Giles and Conteh all look exciting players for our future - things might not be as rosy as we had hoped in the first team this season but at least it looks like we are planning forward with a high calibre of player . It may be in 2 years time that they are regulars but I hope that they fulfill their potential as it looks above league 2 .

Are there any more players in the youth setup that look like they could make the step up ?

Cam Gardner has played for the first team a few times, I believe, albeit as a substitute. But if he has had the experience of playing with and against the big boys, and he's scoring for fun for the yoof team, how would you feel if he was put in the starting XI alongside Danny Rose?

I'd feel he was too young and inexperienced to be given that responsibility. We aren't in a position to be trying out youth players at the moment. If/when we get to a safer place in the league, a few cameo appearances wouldn't be out of the question if he is genuinely a prospective first teamer.

It's a big step up.

Bramwell n Gardner were obviously 'trusted' by the previous regime. Understand that the lad ,the ex Scunt, who got 2 last night, is a goalscoring machine, albeit a  different (& younger) type of forward to Gardner. Shakeel Brown, a winger from Wolverhampton, is another one to look out for; could well earn a pro deal

Forest at home in round 3 which is a great draw for the lads. Should be a good crowd at BP

Tough game for the lads.
Notts Forest were in the final last season and played well to only lose 3 - 1 to Man United in front of a 67 000 crowd at Old Trafford. I hope we can pack blundell park out and give the lads a great night in front of their own fans. It needs to be pushed a bit by the club to get the interest going...

I seem to remember watching the youth team play Arsenal in the late nineties, early noughties. If memory serves, Jermaine Pennant played for Arsenal and was quite the draw in himself, as he'd not long signed from Notts County for £2m, which at the time was an obscene amount for a 15-year old. I think we lost fairly comfortably, but the Main Stand was reasonably full that night. Good atmosphere.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Anybody know if Gardner’s suspension would be competition specific? That is, to be served in the league or in the youth cup vs Forest? Could be key and I’m sure he’d be devastated to miss out in the cup.
