Does the level of academy talent in the squad in recent years worry you?
at 18:22 20 Jul 2025

Important to consider what’s in the academy now. The club doesn’t promote content from the academy in the way that others do, but that’s not to say we don’t have a raft of talent in the younger ages, taking into account the investment that’s gone into recruitment especially at the younger ages.

We don’t know how our age groups compete with current cat 1s and all people can do is come to an assumption without actually knowing?

It’s something that’s always going to be there, they’re always going to look to recruit from Suffolk as it’s within their catchment.

No different to us going into Colchester, Essex and E London etc.

Though the link has been set up by Jake Swan, who’s part of their Academy Recruitment team.

I would somewhat disagree. How do you know that the best local lads aren’t at Ipswich at the younger ages compared to those at Norwich? Also, those that are at Norwich, how do you know they haven’t been seen by our Academy?

Some of the replies to this are pretty embarrassing. I get the annoyance at it but wishing injuries on young lads is pretty damning really especially as most will be Suffolk boys.
