It would seem an Awful lot of PON Members commenting on this Thread are in Favour of Giving Academy Players a Chance at getting into the Notts Senior Squad and it would seem Most agree it won't Happen. Do You Know What Gentle men I Would Love To Debate This With Richard Montague, and I'm Sure Many Of You Would Like To Do The Same. So if anybody at the Club ever Visits PON tell the Head Of Recruitment lets have a Chat.

I think that if you have 10 good players in a side, a team can afford to have an up & coming youngster like Ryley or Sanderson in the side. 

We had a strong side against Duisburg for 80 minutes & Ryley was doing quite well by all accounts, and he didn't appear to be out of place, so there's no need not to give our best youngsters a chance.

You Know That @Robbie and it appears most Fans on this thread who have seen Ryley Play Know That. The thing is does He who run's the The First team (and I'm Not Talking Stuart Maynard here) Know that? Like I've said Before Ryley is a promising young Talent. He's played in all the Preseason Games so far this Season a few more Preseason games and perhaps  an appearance off the Bench in a couple of Games, this  Will go down in his Notts Portfolio to be badgered about to Clubs higher in the Football Pyramid until  a Club is willing to pay an Undisclosed Fee for him and  then it's So Long Notts. And yet another Promising Young Player disappears into the Sun Set, without playing for the Magpies Long Enough to be of any Benefit to the First team. James Sanderson will probably Go The Same Way.

I think that would be very sad. If the club had another open meeting  a question should be asked about what the board feels what the point of the academy is.

To nurture players for the senior side or to develop players to just loan out or sell on.

@Robbie

I  Honestly think it will be the latter part of your Comment. you only have to look at Lucien Mahovo, I read the article on the PON site and in it, it was stated 

While we're very Keen to see Graduates like Lucien go on and Establish Themselves in our First team...? So a 5 or 6 minute appearance in the last Match of the  Season is Considered a Player as Established Themselves in the Notts First Team. Really? Who ever quoted that should be an MP because they sound as Honest as one.

Let's get One Thing Straight  the Notts Academy Players are Not There To Progress into the Notts First team, their just there to see how Much Notts Can Sell Them For  In The Future and That Is My Honest Opinion.

The issue here is really the lack of a B team, in terms of an old style competitive Central League ( for those older fans)

Will Ryley be trusted enough to be worthy of a place on the bench?

 

Ryley Reynolds looks impressive, but I do hope James Sanderson is still in contention for game time. There’s no point in pushing young players into the first-team squad environment if someone else takes priority each season. It’s exciting to see young talent, but it’s disappointing when we don’t properly nurture them. Reynolds and Sanderson could be two future stars for us if we did.

With a fresh batch of young players, it becomes particularly challenging to find your opportunity to play more in a first-team environment. Ryley Reynolds appears to be a promising player, but like others, a change of head coach could easily alter his situation. I sincerely hope that one day, we will have several home-grown talents ready to compete.

It’s beneficial when the club releases videos like this, providing an opportunity to learn more about Ryley Reynolds. He appears to be a highly promising player, and I hope he demonstrates a strong enough character to push for more game time.

The same goes for all the younger and fringe players. Competition is the best way to achieve good form.

He’s performed well in the pre-season so far, and I’m pleased he’s had such a prominent role. However, it’s disappointing when this doesn’t translate into league games. It appears that Ryley Reynolds might be considered for play, but there seem to be few rewards for performing well, as young players are often easily overlooked by the club.

Looking at his pre-season photos, he seems like an incredible talent. From the footage, he appears ready to be more than just a squad number. Has James Sanderson participated in the pre-season? It seems like the club only focuses on one main player for potential first-team inclusion, apart from less significant games like the EFL trophy.

With a bit of luck, he’ll keep getting playing time and have some involvement throughout the season. That’s the most effective way to help a young player develop. Reynolds does seem to be a very promising young talent.
