I see Danny Cadamarteri’s lad Bailey Tye, has been offered a deal by Wednesday, after scoring his first goal for the U18s. Leading scorer for the U16s, he scored 4 goals in a game against Sheffield Utd U16s, the academy has dad works for now

Liking the sound of these two. Have we ever had strikers be that prolific at that age group? Could be worth a go at u23s next year and possibly in the first team if we're lucky to have any dead rubber games at the end of the season.

Saying that, they'll probably reject full time deals and goto Liverpool or Leeds and we'll get pitiful tribunals out of it...

Think younger one is still quite young

A huge concern of mine is, how our youngsters will develop if we continue down the path of attritional football. We were starting to make progress at development level, with successful campaigns for all the age groups, culminating in a batch of youngsters looking like they might break through. Given what has gone on before, this was progress. Then this season, Monk insisted that the age group teams play in the same way as the first team. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, all the best teams want that continuity. There is though, a huge problem, when that comes at the cost of youngsters not developing their all round game. I don’t know whether it is teething problems, but results have fallen off a cliff edge this season, with both the U23s and the U18s, at the foot of their respective leagues. 
Results aren’t that important at this stage, but their development as footballers certainly is. 
Can we expect things to change for the better under Pulis? He has no great record of developing young players, perhaps because he has generally been employed in a firefighting capacity. He does though, have similar philosophy to Monk, when it comes to how the game is played.
