Does anybody know if Town have scouted the young Whitton Utd player Mydas Smalls ? apparently quite a talent for a 16 year old , hit the headlines couple weeks back as youngest ever scorer of an FA cup goal . |  | | |  |

I suspect they are fully aware of him.
If they are not aware of a local talent that has been publicised for being the youngest scorer of an FA Cup goal, then I would be very worried about our scouts. |  |

A 2nd friend of mine has had his kid taken by Norwich academy now. One lives in central Ipswich and the other in Sproughton. | |

It's a competitive industry.
Disappointing, but not surprising that we sometimes miss out to clubs in higher leagues. | |

Norwich have a couple of Scouts that are based in the town and from Ipswich, so they know the landscape of youth around here very well. | |

We seem to be getting better, but we had a period 3 or 4 years ago where we properly let our guard down. 'Fighting back' was how Lee O'Neill described it. Neither of my friends have been contacted about moving their kids to Ipswich though. One would certainly consider it. | |

I'd have thought Norwich have more room to hoover up loads of kids and then spit out the ones who aren't good enough, whereas we have to be more selective? | |

Not really, we are just behind them and having to re-establish ourselves in our own Town which is criminal |  |

That is pretty poor. Another of Keane's feck ups or more recent?
I mean, it's hard enough to find talent as it is but if you're missing it on your doorstep that is, as you say, criminal. | |

Not much to do with Keane I'd say, just the club falling asleep on the job as we have done reliably over the past dozen years. | |

For bringing back memories of Smallsy? What a player he was and a great scoring record for England. | |

It was Keane that got rid of Klug though? Things have really picked up since Klug was reappointed. | |

Are we that far behind though? It's been going on for years that they have scouts in the town. Of their current youth isn't only Cantwell a bonafide youth product? As in the others (Aarons, Lewis, Godfrey) were bought for small fees?
I know it's the third tier but to have 5/6 youth products in every matchday squad is impressive. | |
