Hopefully there's a couple of gems in the under 18s for the future but given that we're rock bottom by 5 points i wouldn't hold out to much hope at the moment and given Daniels,roofe etc in the under 21s haven't been loaned out to a championship side like thorne and Berahino was would suggest they are nowhere near the first team hopefully the likes of o'neill can spend a season in the championship next season should we survive this season
I seem to remember that the club has stated that it wouldn't loan out some players, no matter how good, for certain reasons, ie. having better control of their footballing education, allowing them to learn with the senior team (which O'Neil's been doing of a couple of years now) etc. I know they've said that about the Nabi's before, definitely Adil.
And anyway, aren't we trying to get away from the old English "they don't win so are rubbish" mentality? after all it's the emergence of talent that is important, not winning or losing at this stage. The coaches also tend to throw the players around positionally and bring in younger players fairly often, which doesn't help in the league as the u18's play u21's, U16's play U18's and so on.
I know we see enough in Danny Barrow to have given him a new/ first contract. Add to him players like Johnathon Leko, Reese Wedderburn, Wes Atkinson, both Callum and Aaron Birch and Alex Palmer (GK for u 21's whos only about 16-17), plus others, and I would say that there is hope
