I agree but Harry was shocking at integrating his fringe players and in the latter years he did well with youth but we had a very good age group.
I think we are in a similar situation now, got highly rated players but are almost writing them off and waiting for the next generation!
I think that is maybe right; only Stewart was retained as a second year professional, and while we have lots of first year professionals and third year trainees, I will be surprised if more than a handful are kept on. But there seems to be a real buzz around the academy lads coming through.
