We desperately need a good crop of youngsters to come through in the next 18 months. I fear we have not got that.
I don't think we've had that for some time. The last players to come through and make a real impact were Konchesky and Parker and that was some time ago. Fortune, Sam, Lisbie are the only players who've come through the youth system and are still here, but none are stars. You could add Gislason and Tanski to the above list, maybe if we drop down a level for a season or two it'll be easier to bring these kids through.
