I have just been watching the youth team train down at the cricket club and some of the work they do is fantastic.
I bet they would even give our first team a game.
Some potential first teamers in that squad thats forsure.
Chris Beech and his assistant should take great credit for what they are doing.
Everything is done at speed, fast accurate passing, sharp turns and explosive sprints away, plenty of encouragement, it was a joy to watch.
The futures bright for Rochdale AFC. |  |

Hope you are right.
The lack of Youth team players becoming first team regulars has been alarming over the years.
Other than Joe Thompson and Scott Warner who was the last to make lets say 25 appearences in the first team ? |  | | |

matt gilks? weve had players who have played youth/reserves then made the 1st team like townson,mccourt,buckley,dawson but they all arrived at the club at 17/18 - not many weve developed from kids. |  |

Does Billy Buckley count? He joined as a scholar in 2006 and broke through in 2008. |  | | |

Gilks is the probably the best player ever to come through and as you rightly say the others came in later
Cant remember any others in a long time who have become established players for Rochdale. | | | |

Stephen Bywater? |
His transfer fee helped the club no end, but he played one game.
And was rubbish for the reserves. |  |

Using 25 as the standard , I think Lee Duffy , Simon Grand ,Steven Hill , Rory Patterson and Paddy McCourt will all come close ? | | | |

Gary Brown as well perhaps. Sadly the majority fall down the football ladder.
I've always said that the Youth Team shouldn't be judged much on wins and losses, but the amount of players it produces for the first team and on that basis, we don't have many to write home about.
From the current crop of YTS lads, Danny Whitehall has to be the one to look out for already surely? He's been banging in goals. |  |

Probably, but he's only here at all because somewhere else decided he wasn't good enough. He isn't entirely 'our' product, though he will doubtless improve and benefit from being here.
Those which we have produced from scratch are rare indeed. |  |

Fair enough but in that case, probably about 80% of our YTS lads have come from other teams centre of excellence. Wasn't Joe Thompson with Manchester United before coming here and progressing.

Spot on Chaff. If our YTS scheme is taking on lads at 16 from other clubs and they are pushing the first team at 18, it is still doing its job - whether they started with us or not. | | | |

Sorry my bad.
Its Jamie Allen i was talking about, not James or whoever i said. Supposed to be the new big thing at the club. Heard he's similar to Paul Scholes! | | | |

Does anyone know the result from Saturday morning, v Tranmere? I keep looking on the OS, but no joy. |  | | |

With seven subs and a thin squad the likes of Minihan, Watson and co stand the chance of first team appearances |  | | |

Cheers. I keep meaning to go along and watch. I thought two games in one day might be too much, even watching the Dale. | | | |
