    Our Youth Team are flying -

    Bradford City AFC Academy on Twitter: "Our U19s overcame a strong Rotherham side this morning at the Horsfall Stadium. Their merit campaign got underway with seven goals from Louie Chorlton, Charlie Wood, Oli Norman, Freddy Jeffreys, Dylan Youmbi and Jack Wilson (2) #bcafc ❤️ https://t.co/KzHeaN1onC" / Twitter

    If we get this right, there's got to be a couple of first team players in this team.

    Hope we can bridge the gap from Youth Team to First Team.
    Time for an Under 23's or get the reserve's back up and running?

    If Sudeneki is still here I’d like to see him and Wood offered contracts and involved more with the first team

    Be nice to see one or two feature in the dead rubber games we now have. Especially any attacking players - they couldn't really be worse than the ones we have...

    I agree. It’s a win win. It will tell MH how far away they are from the 1st Team

    He has a chance tomorrow Bradford City are taking a team to play Huddersfield Town B team at Canelside.
    include some of the youth players put them on the bench and introduce them at some point in the game.

    Too soon. This is a really impressive squad of players that Drury and his team have got together. Let the best develop for another season, so they get their best chance at genuinely being able to feature in our first team squad. Or look at selling on a couple on for big money to develop with under 23s at Championship or even Premier clubs.

    Dylan Youmbi has scored a lot recently, not sure what his tally is for the season

    We should have our own U23's if we want to be self sustainable, let them progress there. I think the money you'd get for them now would be minimal

    Good, good, good.

    Do we need to upgrade our academy at this point?

    If you're good enough, you're old enough. We don't want to over expose any of these kids and if they playing them would be a risk to their development then we shouldn't play them, clearly. But a couple of 10-15 cameos in games that don't really matter to us - if they're able to handle that opportunity - feels like a chance not to be wasted.

    I don't know these kids at all. So I don't know whether they are 'kids' or whether any are young men.

    Fantastic news and well done Martin, I would not consider anything before the final couple of first team matches and even then not sure - let the lads clinch there own league title and enjoy it. If they maintain their progress the time will come but no rush

    Agree totally.

    Bearing in mind most players peak at 28ish why would you wait and potentially only get 5 of their years in the senior side??

    all you have to do is look at the numerous wonderkids in football who've played week in week out from a relatively young age for a pro and how they generally look fecked by their late 20's.
