Bit like the way we seem to coach the ability out of our strikers too.

That said i always thought Declan (walker??) was a cracking player as well as tomassen... Maybe i know nothing
The reserves were junked and the youth system massively cut-back during Keates' first stint. That alone does not bode well for our young players.

The gap is too great between the youth and the first team, and the club would rather bring someone's else's young players in rather than use ours, seemingly regardless of ability.
