Sam Bell (Mickey's son) and Sam Pearson are the current cream of the crop. Barney Soady (left back) is one to watch. Joe Low is a defender with Welsh youth caps.

And Its Smith Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 2 hours ago, Harry said: Sam Pearson. Hopefully we’ll be brave and not loan him out this year and give him a shot. Why not. What are the rules around loaning him to a league side? What’s the deadline ? I’ve hardly seen him play but wasn’t he at Bath last season? To go from there to Championship level would be a lot to expect. If he started the season with us and was clearly not ready we would surely risk missing a football league loan deadline and then have to send him to non league again. I am all for giving youngsters a chance but only if they are ready or close to being ready, with the chance pushing them on further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Soady is a left back I don't know why I called him a striker. Still the local area though ain't it which is presumably we pick all young players up, other than being born inside Ashton Gate not sure how else you can truly be academy grown.

Those that are close to contention are sent out to get regular football and experience. As per Walsh and Morrell, who are both highly regarded by the club. At least that's what Gary Probert told me last August at Senior Reds. The philosophy may change under a new leader of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define physically tougher, all players now are a lot fitter and cover more distance per game, all players are on specific gym routines lifting weights etc so arguably the players are all physically stronger now so if anything could be harder for young players to cope with the physicality of the modern game. While they're still physically developing what they can do gym wise will still be limited to people in their early/mid 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struth, Bellingham is already moving on to one of the best club’s in Europe, and they’re retiring his shirt at the grand old age of 17! Haven't Leeds played a couple if teenagers in their automatic promotion year? As ever, set your aspirations low and you’ll never fail to deliver naff all. About time we produced another young teenage star from our Academy. Clearly, for whatever reason, our Academy either ain’t producing teenage talent of a quality to compete at Championship level or a succession of Managers have no confidence that the teenagers we’re producing are good enough.

You really think football then was more difficult? Yes players may have been "harder" but with modern training methods, dieticians, a wider talent pool etc. the comparison shouldn't even be made. The difference between player ability from top-bottom divisions is much more vast now than back then. 2 hours ago, Harry said: I think you misunderstand.

We have failed miserably to give young Academy players a few minutes from the bench to get match day experience at Championship level that is absolutely vital to their development. To learn at first hand, the speed of thought and movement required is something that can only be learned by playing Championship football. The last City team to get promotion to the First Division, may never have achieved this if Alan Dicks had not given them minutes at ends of games and three or five starts per season.

I agree, with this, Before morell went out on loan he should of spent a season on put bench getting 10 minutes here and there, give him a taste of first team action and know what he's fighting for Then send him out loan for a season, We did that with vyner and semynio but we don't do it enough with all our promising players I can under stand it when we were only aloud 3 subs and 5 subs but with 7 now on the bench they must be room for 2 youth players there and im not talking about goal keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicks didn't make a lot of young tactical substitutions as during the period he managed City only 1 substitute was allowed and, barring injuries, the starting XI was pretty well set.
