Five academy products have featured this afternoon with a sixth on the bench.

Now that does make me proud.

[Barrs Court Red]

Yep, the youth set up has misfired over the years, but it seems to be producing the players now. Great to see 

[EmersonsRed]

One of those we produced an awful lot of years ago in Scott G!! But good to see...

Game was already over really so it's hard to judge. Passed it well, got in some good space. Takes some fear out of his next game though which is good.

Solid, made one mistake I can think of, but made some good passes and was finding pockets of space

A blonde one

Assuming he plays a more defensive role in the centre, hard to judge as Huddersfield had long given up by the time he came on so the shape of the team disappeared. Can't find his profile on the academy website either

Indeed. Should also not forget Wes doing his bit ordering cod lots for the cod army.

Would you maybe go one better and say it's #MakingBristolProud ?

Fantastic stuff, mad to think some people on here think the academy should be scrapped completely.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Do we think the new loan rules for next season will benefit or hinder player development? On one hand, will clubs hang on to their kids `just in case` rather than send them out on long term loans or will they feel it`s beneficial to do that like we did with Joe and Wes?

Vyner looked very good.. excellent when he came on in the second half.. as good if not better than he did at MKD.. well worth his place ( and chips) if needed. Mr LJ should Start him next week IMO
