Asunto: Show your youth school

Kind of robbed from International, but i was interested to see if any of you guys who've had youth school's for seasons keeping 6 open places have ever had it this bad?

Norman Spencer formidable 3
Gubby Arkell good 5
Jack Clowsoff good 6
Rick Boateng average 9
Nigel Khan very good 9
Benjy Pickford average 16
Quentin Bellamy adequate 19
Dion Bayles weak 20
Cliff Wolton poor 24
Carl Stone weak 24
Kieran Burrow average 25
Joshua Nesling average 27

Only 2 of those 12 juniors have known talent, and they're both above 5!

Looking at your lot, makes me a whole heap happier about mine ;)

You may feel a bit hard done by, but I've learnt that talent means nothing if you get screwed on age or distribution.
I've sold some truly untalented juniors for decent money because they looked good. Whereas, I'm training six sub 3.5 talent juniors because (had I sold them) I'd have got next to nothing due to piss-poor distributions.
So you could still strike gold from your mob.

To make you feel better, my lot are..

Troy Thomlinson - adequate 1

disaapointed with their talents... they don't seem to be rising very fast. The group of the 15-25wk solids seem to be particularily slow

ye man its weired, ofter you will find that if a junior joins good 34, he may not pop for 7-8 weeks, but if you get a hopeless 34, he may be uber talented, its risky business.

I'm down to 9 juniors after sackings today, and i am clutching at straws with at least 4 of those! :-(

I was down to 12 but now back up to 23 even after a thorough clean out of rubbish

Not that there's anything amazing - a 3.4 Brilliant is the best

Arkle, Hyde and Lamplough look good?
