The Dev League does not look good with us bottom and them second. A lot of work required looks like to get back to where we were youth wise!

LOL - Conveniently overlooking the fact that apart from Fraser (when he can be arsed), the rest are phucking garbage. Being part of this particular first team squad means nothing. If we weren't utter toilet these boys would would be nowhere near the club never mind the first team!
How you come to that conclusion when most of them haven't played that many games is fairly mysterious. Hardly surprising though.
They've all played enough games for the development squad AND the first team for someone who watches both regularly to make a judgement.
Perhaps you should go to more U20 games, or maybe it's easier to stick yer heid in the sand again and pretend everything is rosy.
Big difference a player playing a development match rather than in the first team though.
How can you equate ANY of the players you mentioned to the likes of Russell and Armstrong? Just because some of them get near the first team doesn't make them good Terry.
We needed and may still need (god forbid next season) OUTSTANDING youth talent to break through and help fire us to the top division.
We've been let down and it needs a clearout and rebuild from top to bottom.
Terry - Stuart Armstrong broke into the team under Houston!! That was centuries ago. Not sure about JR but was many years before Armstrong. Tell me this - when was the last time we produced a player from the youth ranks that went on to be a game changer in the first team? Isn't that the whole point of having a youth system in the first place??
What we needed and what we still need is an Andy Gray a David Goodwillie or an Andy Robertson.
What have we got? Nada
Have our best youths not been getting sold before getting first team?
Last summer to Southampton and another one to Celtic not that long ago i seem to remember.
What hope have we got of quality youth players coming through to help first team if the current owners sell at the first sign of cash?
Also the fact that our youth set up was classed miles above the funs and now it isn’t wont help either. Instead of us getting the pick of the area we are now sharing that.
