We can learn from most clubs, one area of which would be our own youth department.

I can't say how disappointed I am that we have allowed Owen Betts and Leo Marshall to be released, it sends a poor message IMO and there's no real pathway into the first team. Southampton do well at producing their own youths, West Ham, Everton etc - they all have a way into their first team if you're good enough.

Neal Ardley needs to get the club to work at this, whilst giving players a proper chance to show what they can do.

brentford have done amazingly well with signing players, at first i thought they were more like peterborough but they dont just sell the players they help improve. they replace them and push forward. i think  if brentford managed to get into the premier league, more clubs would acknowledge what they have been doing.

it clearly works for them.
