floyd__streete Friday night's starting XI: not one academy product.
Last night's XVI: just two academy products involved.
Anyone else find that just a little bit disappointing

Not really. The first team is not a rehearsal, it is the real thing. While of course players need to be given time to learn and develop you really cannot do so at the expense of results, and to have half a team of players on work experience would probably be suicide.

oxf*rd hell, it's not life or death.
So oxf*rd what if we pick up a few less points in the immediate future by playing youngsters. We'll be better off in the long run.

Nameless Academy players have agents too. That's how come someone like Tishbola decides they fancy a move.....

Exactly. Don't go banging on about how few academy players are in the first 11 when the first chance they get to go - they go. Tish, Hector to name but 2. HRK? well probably not a good example.....

not me.
im happy for Watson, Kelly, Samuel etc to get game time in cups, or as subs, and when other players are out
im glad stam used obita yesterday, and hope he interchanges him and blackett depending on the oppo
not really sure who else there is, other than cooper, and im pretty happy he isn't playing every game right now.

Ian Royal FFS I remember when we went endless games without an academy graduate featuring. And now we're bitching because a we go a couple of games without one featuring? Baffling

Fewer opportunities for Academy players is not a negative because we used to have a shit academy.''
Pearls of wisdom from Ian Royal there.
