heppers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Does Dave ‘Badger’ Jones deserve credit for this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Of The Roasters Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 This is great news, but why is this only happening now? I've never believed that with the catchment area and population on our doorstep that there's never been the youngsters out there. The great unwashed were able to find and develop them, so it's been a huge frustration that we apparently couldn't. So why now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yes it is great, hope it continues. The more we produce the more we can profit as a club both on and off the field. Hopefully we can build a reputation of developing players that leads to attracting the better youngsters in our catchment areas (no easy thing with the big clubs snaffling them all up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Sheffield don't seem to have produced that many good players for a city of its size in general. I bet a Doncaster select could give them a game, certainly if you combined Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others they just don't always make it. To compete against Sheffield United would be a start and it sounds like we are beginning to.

Those two will pull best prospects in the area and we will do well to compete with Barnsley and Rotherham who got themselves bit of a reputation as clubs that are playing and developing youngsters.

james o connor Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Brilliant to see . Shaw and hunt put in mature performances and it was good to see other lads get game time too . would much rather get behind these lads and the hard working new signings we seem to be going for thanksgiving the previous over paid never beens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think this is going to be a really important season for matt penney, did pretty well with his loan away last season and got some games under his belt. Needs to kick on and cement that left wing back sot this year as its his shirt to either grasp or lose now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of this but it appears, probably more from necessity than anything else that this is an area we need to improve and are working towards.
