Quote: pmh "so GG, is our Academy, Reserves etcetera now being run like a proper SL set up that's got half a chance of bringing some players through to the first team?
I remember about a year, eighteen months ago or so there was quite a lot of criticism about the set up not being very professional or well run, has this now changed?'"
I think its fair to say the criticism leveled at the time was justified and i think its also fair to say there have been huge improvements in their YD program in that time, though its still some way off other clubs imo.
What Rovers need at this time continuity, their coaching staff have been changed far too often in the past couple of years for any long term plans to be implemented effectively. I think Chris Chester and Andrew Webster have huge roles to play and all the vibes i am getting is that they have their heads screwed on and are liked by the majority of the players unlike their predecessor which is a major step forward.
