How many players have actually been recruited from the junior ranks in recent years who have made a telling difference or monumental contribution to the first team.
Levi Sutton springs to mind. (and even that’s debatable).
The reason we produce no decent first team players from our own is because we have no decent youth set up, if anybody actually took the time to investigate the system they would see the flaws and understand the outcome.
The ones being plugged of recent are the sons of ex-pro’s stands to reason then that the son’s will have the talent.
No they don’t sadly and its time the supporters asked some very real questions, because I am sick and tired of the greatest loyalist of loyal supporters coming on here and trying to convince us that a pigs ear is a silk purse.
It is holding us back as a club and in producing real young talent capable of playing football. Just for example a youth player scores 2 goals v Barton Town in a pre-season friendly and is then the be all and end all of our first team aspirations.
No he was shit in pre-season, played in the diddly donk cup and was subbed having made no telling contribution, but cos he is from Goole and has a cousin who once worked at the old heavy section mill and knows someone from scunny he is all of a sudden a great player.
That’s why he ended up at Scarborough making no headlines at all!!!!!
Time to wake up fellow Iron diehards and dare ask the question what does Tony Daws actually do?
