Quote: Staffs FC "Regardless of who is the coach the club is clearly putting a massive emphasis on promoting/developing youth players who are believed to be good enough. I seriously doubt there's ever been a time when this policy has been clearer or more important. If there's one thing that Radford can't be accused of it's closing the door on youth players '"
I have no qualms about his promotion of young players, just the lack of progress of those once they've `established' themselves.
Only Shaul of last years crop looks to be improving. Crooks, Lineham (ok he's been injured) Green & Bowden have gone backwards.
I admit I don't see them as often as you guys & others may have seen an improvement. Time will tell I suppose
