they go out on loan and hardly ever perform. Ali John didn't even get off the bench for Brighton at the weekend. Ok James Walker seemed to do well but that is an exception but he is in League 1 after all. All too often they go on loan and only ever make sub appearances. Surely they should be going to these clubs and playing regularly. None ever come back and forge a future with us, Parker excepted. You can only conclude that they are not good enough and once released by us they generally go on to confirm that this is the case. I can't think of a single player that has been released in the last 10/15 years that has come back to haunt us.

Southampton goalie?
We aren't alone
There doesnt seem to be anyone around
we here it year in year out.
so and so is in the rep of ireland under 15's
so and so is in the england under 17's
so and so has played for his country at all schoolboy age groups
so and so is on the bench for the reserves and he is only 16
the academy isn't working now and i think varney may be right when saying they might start closing.
if ours closes, will they stop valley gold? as this was meant to help fund it once we returned to SE7.
all I'm saying is that it doesn't look as though any of them are good enough. I mean Lloyd Sam has done well recently but he's over 21 and by then could have been in the first team for three years already. Walker,John etc are not good enough to even play for League 2 teams on loan. If they are good enough then play them which Dowie/Reed have said they would. Give Gislason a go tonight even Basey. Basey, IMO, is far better already than Ashton who is a couple of years older than him and if so promote him above Ashton. If Rooney had been at Charlton he'd probably only just made his debut.
Sankofa
?
Sam
?
i think his name is Lizbee or something like that
I think Pardew will encourage him to get forward more, which i think will suit him.
Joking aside I think his confidence will grow and we'll see him take players on (and beat them!) I also noticed he's not afraid to to sling a ball into the box from a deeper position. Good to see Ambrose getting back to help him out too.
