A Ray of Sunshine

Ok. To try and lift the doom and gloom I propose a challenge. Who can come up with the best team made up of academy players. I will give you mine and will stand back and welcome being shot down.

Garrett

Rob Jones Foster Ray Billy Jones

Powell Whalley Danny Murphy Vaughn


Maynard Ashton


Subs Fon Williams, Tootle, Walters, Seth Johnston, Gary Roberts Max Clayton, Hulse.


Think my team will score plenty but may concede loads. 5-3 anybody?

[jimmyboldon]

Would have Westwood in there. And Richard Walker at CH....or maybe not on the last one.

[jamesdad]

I would go with the first selection , a solid team that if still together now and all around 25 years old could hold there own in the Championship

[Furberstreet]

Westwood in. Not Ray unless the Academy really does have a poor record of producing CHs. Is naming Grant Hanley cheating as he went off to Blackburn?

[steelydon]

Not cheating at all. He was at our academy. I didn't include him as I've never seen him play. Come on someone, name a
centre half we've produced to play alongside Steve Foster.

[jimmyboldon]

David Wright Wright Wright played CH as well as fullback.

[steelydon]

Nice one. Good knowledge. David Wright must push Rob Jones as best right back. How about Kelvin Mellor? Did he ever play Centre half? Think he played there as a youth.

[jimmyboldon]

Would also have Kenny Lunt ahead of G Roberts.

[jimmyboldon]

And Mark Rivers instead of Clayton.
