    That makes about a dozen youngsters on contracts and not really sure why. The ones who signed last summer have about 90 mins of action between them

    There part of the team learning.

    I think it's a good thing.

    Some of them have improved a lot this season.

    Jake Scott been one of them who's learning a lot.

    I think anyone who is under the age of 21 should be given another year.
    Let's build a squad at u21 level for developing

    They've signed up a few there who have played well this season and last. Also Paul Digby's part of that age group.
    Abbott, good passer of the ball
    Shilitto, all round player who's played at the back a few times.
    Sousa, Winger
    Oates, Target man. Been on the bench at Hull

    Keep meaning to have a look at our young ens at a U21's game but I'm always working when they're on.

    Trouble is though can you really see how talented these lads are in this type of game? We certainly can't afford to chance them in first team games.
