Whoops no replacement on the bench.

Regarding Aaron I have no idea but on his return he played him and the lad was superb first half then tired after that hardly seen again.
Went to Morecambe had a great few months and is with FGR currently.
Lee Evans, Regan etc all academy successes.
Before Flynny was in charge though.
Since Flynny took over who has he brought through to league standard not including anybody previously on the books.
How long has he been in charge.
You really think he is anywhere as interested as Byron was.
Just asking.

I would imagine that Flynn would quite like to bring some players through the system seeing as he was one himself. Tell me why you seem to think Flynn wouldn't want to?

But who says any of the lads we've had over Flynn's reign were good enough? Who says the lads that we've lost to bigger clubs before they could kick a ball for us wouldn't have been brought through by Flynn? There's a lot of luck involved in youth development, as we're able to see in most of our success stories.

Zero confidence in any youngsters.

Have you seen the academy keeper before? Know anything about him?

Nope but he clearly has made an impression on Flynny.
Didn't even mention the lads name in the interview.
If the lad is not up to it maybe the Academy scouts need to get out and about and find one that is.
Is the Academy just a revenue stream or should it be that and a progression for players into the squad and large transfer fees like for Aaron Collins to keep us afloat.
Why did County legend Byron move on?
I believe we did have a good lad who was moved onto Leicester well before getting to league level so its possible..

Goalkeepers in the academy aren't signed on the basis that they can step up to League 2 if there's an injury crisis. That's not how an academy works, it's there for players we hope to step up at some point in the future. The lad just isn't ready to at the moment.

Funny you should mention Aaron Collins, wasn't it Flynny who told the club to get him back in? Odd from someone who has no interest in developing players.

Rhys Davies did move to Leicester. But as with the likes of Jay Williams, Owura Edwards, Rhys Kavanaugh - we're at a disadvantage if a bigger club comes looking.

How many of Byrons academy kids have made it to league 2 football?

Just asking

Incidentally , it was Flynn That recommended Evans to Justin , Flynn that brought Poole back ( not sure if he recommended him to Justin initially ) and Flynn who got Aaron out working at MacDonalds

All good fun

I thought we were debating since Flynny took over as manager?

Regarding Byron hopefully if he had stayed a few more than we have without him.
Funny thing I have no idea who the new Academy manager even is.

The question was how many of Byron academy players have made it at league 2 level , and who?

How long has Flynny been manager.
In that time even if he was keen to bring the kids through how many have.
I make it Zero
Apologies if that is incorrect.
Lot of luck involved you say.
Well maybe Lady Luck needs to come our way

Frank Nouble 3 wrote:In May 2018 Byron Anthony Academy manager announced that the club had achieved Category 3 status.
The aim being to increase the number of players coming through to first team football.
Previously Lee Evans, Regan Poole and Aaron Collins had achieved that.
The article also stated that Touray and Foulston had also succeeded but I take that with a pinch of salt.
Since that date albeit its only 21 months in fairness how many?

Spiderman wrote:Dear Frank, from 2015

Butcher released Flynn as a player in 2015, with Flynn by then also serving as academy manager and having helped to bring the likes of Aaron Collins and Regan Poole into the senior squad.

I’ll ask again , Who has Byron brought into league 2?

All good fun
