It does make you wonder what our development strategy is though. Especially so when our youth sides have, for most of the SL era, been at or around the top performing in their respective age groups.

Develop them and see if any are good enough to move to Leeds, if not they need to be released to allow Leeds to offload it's un-needed youth players to FC. The Heths clever strategy is very clear.

Agar was the no.2 so will have played a part.

We should be producing more though I accept that and they should develop into better players once they are in the first team which doesn't always happen.

Look at Wigan, Wire, Saints & Leeds: they bring a young player into the team and they immediately look comfortable, probably because they are aware of the team structure and plays because they play the same way in lower levels.

We bring a youngster in and he's like a rabbit caught in headlights
