No I'm not looking to supplement my income, just making an observation.
Academy lads, conspicuous by their absence from both the starting line up, and the bench (Reed being the exception).
We had a strong starting eleven, and a strong bench, but it feels a different approach from last year, when the goal appeared to be starting academy players whenever possible.
So is this a a symptom of the summer losses, an indication of a more calculated approach to league success, an indication of the strength in depth we now possess, or something else entirely?
