Staveley!

He was better than that two years ago. Look how many players we take to the verge of the first team then carefully progress them backwards. And we aren't alone in doing it either.

They can't all be wastrels and ne'er do wells.

Could help them get promoted as they are near the top of the league. He did very well at Blyth who are just a division below ours so It's very odd that he's not been given a chance in the first team, he could become the next Eoin Doyle and score 30 a season.

I think it boils down to coaching and also the individual. There are clubs who have good youth teams and academy's and they bring through their players into the first team and they eventually sell them on for a few £££££££.
