Quote: jonh "All clubs have people with the same job titles of those at Trinity, as I understand it, its part of the criteria for the franchise.
Trinity had an Academy winning team where are those kids now. I cannot think of one that has made the step up. I agree it is unrealistic for them to suddenly become SL players, but I have to wonder where they are when very very average players of the same age are knocking about on loan at National League clubs getting first grade experience.
When a coach comes in with the aim of developing the young players who is best mates with the head coach and also from exactly the same background and era, I have to question that.
The game will always move forward and clubs have to be ready for that. When it comes to player development I am not sure Trinity are.
I am not a big fan of certain ex coaches who were charged with developing players but I have to say when they have moved on from Belle Vue they seem to have done a good job and progress development while Trinity seem to stagnate in this department.
Several players who were on the books of Trinity in recent years as kids, outside backs, secondrows, and hookers are now playing SL for clubs higher up the table than Trinity, and they are younger than the Championship winning team.
I take nothing away from those lads by the way I enjoyed every second of that season for them, but I have to say it seems they have been let down at this stage.'"
you have just answered your own question, not many can come in at an early age and either move on or just can't break into the team,
this year Morton has had to under the knife and Southernwood thought his future has else where, the others are waiting
