Well done for avoiding using the word "Hammered" in the headline like every other journalist ever has done for a heavy defeat to West Ham. |  | |

I don't think I can add anything to this from my post on the under 18 hammering by Palace, other than, things can only get better. I'm sure they will in the fullness of time with Category One. They need to! |  | |

Linkboy13 - I agree - they only kept 3/4 boys from the u16 and the rest were released players from London clubs. Don’t actually understand the strategy - seems as if they only want big physical players and putting technical ability towards the bottom of what they want. If they go down this route, I’m not totally sure why we have an academy between u8 - u15/16. Think between the u17 and u18 they’ve scored 1 goal and conceded 23 goals. U21s a different story I must add as a caveat though and seem to be doing ok at the moment. |  | |
