More likely out on loan as our manager doesn't seem to like promoting youngsters from the youth squad.
Really? The last 24 hours has seen a lot levelled at KR but I think he can hold his head high on the development of youngsters.
Youth teamers who have either made their debut or have developed under his tutelage include Shandon Baptiste, Owen James, Malachi Napa, Harvey Bradbury, Aaron Heap, Nico Jones, Armani Little, Fabio Lopes, Slavi Spasov, Jack Stevens, Tyler Goodrham, Kryan Lofthouse, Fabio Sole, Leon Chambers-Parillon, Michael Elechi and Gaitlin O'Donkor. Those are just own developed players - we've acquired others from elsewhere to develop too. Compare and contrast with old skool types like Ian Atkins and Chris Wilder and KR looks streets ahead.
More will fail to make the grade than succeed but there is certainly a better plan in place nowadays to create a more reliable conveyor belt of talent from our youth setup.
