Alex, Seen his name in the line up for a number of reserve/academy matches.

Also Luke Blake has looked goos when I have seen him play for us

did you skip your maths lessons at school jonh,

surly we would be third

I think that was a sarcastic dig at Vasty over another thread on cherry & white

deliberate error mate bit of a private joke hence the wording check the post by Vasty on the Wigan forum about how Wigan should take Trinity on. Needless to say he did not take too well to his error being pointed out.

missed that one, nice to see you two can still find time to entertain us all

If that's the case at least I kept my huff to a sentence and spared them a jonh 50 paragraph I know the meaning of life sermons. Ypi could learn from that

No chance, nice kid and a decent player but thats it

tbh i think jacob could make it a very good player in a very good side

If he did i would be chuffed for him, just can't see it but fingers crossed for him.

Jacob has one thing that many other lads do not have and that is the frame.

danny naughton

young gibson
bit like his dad carl

adam gledhill

i don't huff i offer insite, and i do not take myself too seriously, when i make an aris of myself i hold my hand up and laugh about it, rather than try to get smart and make myself look more of a fool.Ypi could learn from that.

True Jonh he does, you don't see that very often but does he have the heart and desire to go with it. I'm not sure he has.

In my opinion yes.

Lol - too late he's already gone!

Chuff me, all three of them at Shudds? Typical.

Adam Gledhill is very similar in frame, maybe not quite the same as Jacob.

compared to Jacob, Adam has nowhere near the attitude from what i have seen.

Is Liam Goodaire still at the club? Maybe first year Academy now/last year scholarship, big things expected from him.

You know how it goes with young lads, Adams gone through all the growing up attitudes Jonh.

Don't know about Liam, can't say i know much about him.

True and they are only young and the best of luck to all of them, just when you questioned Jacobs attitude and mention Adam in my opinion Jacob has the better attitude of the 2. Still much can change over the next few years, but what i would say is that Jacob is much more mature than most of his peers.

Sincw when, he played last week for us

Played for England u/15 on Good Friday, i'm pretty sure he is still on scholarship with Wakey.

One of the problems for Wakey is they have the best players in the district on their scholership scheme but as soon as the they start getting near their 16th birthday's the likes of Leeds, Bradford etc start showing interest and most of the so called elite players from that age group leave to sign elsewhere. Wakey then have to bring in players to make up the numbers and the progression of the good players that are left is slowed down as the standard and environment their in is lower.

With Wakey getting a new ground and better facilties to run a first class academy this trend may shift and Wakey will start pushing to compete with Leeds in winning academy championships and rolling players through to the first team.

Lets hope so, but new facilities are not the be all and end all, we realy need to throw time and money at it and get it sorted The talent drain must stop.
