    Incredible really, fantastic work by everybody involved. If only we could have used it more to build better teams as opposed to balancing the books. Maybe one day.

    That is the odd thing, we seem good at producing players for the Premier League and lower leagues but very few players who had made a career of playing in the Championship, you would expect it to be like a pyramid, 6 players for the Prem, therefore you would expect more than 6 to be playing in the Championship.
