Title: The Academy hopes
Post by: BedsFFC on August 03, 2015, 09:41:36 AM
Over the last few years, the one area of pride has been our academy. Often referred to as one of the best in the country.

Dallas cups & FA cups being proof that at least in one area, our club was doing something right.

When we got relegated, I really thought we would end up having a team by now that consisted of a large section of lads that had come through the ranks.

Our "1st team" sixteen man squad on Saturday had 1 in the squad, Magnus Norman.

With Roberts gone & Dembele looking like he's off, it's got the feeling of a project running out of steam. People compared it to the Southampton model.

It doesn't feel like that right now.

Is there a reason Woodrow and Burn were excluded here?

Fair enough, I'll give you Cauley but Dan Burn was about 20 when he joined us.
