I agree with the sentiment of bringing our own players through, but sadly we are not able to get the very best youngsters to join the academy, so only a small proportion will make it.

The point about giving other clubs players a chance works both ways. Gainsborough are currently helping to develop 2 of our players.
Wood's legs maybe going but he's inspirational to the younger ones, his positioning skills are good and he organises well. Plus he weighs in with the odd important goal.

Younger players like Hull would benefit from studying him.
