I have been to a few of the development games. I like Penn and Teller. They are magic.

Lewis allan returns on loan in the summer but don't think he has set the heathery alight out on loan

With young players it's hard to tell until they have played first team football. Doing well while out on loan is usually a good indicator though and Martin seems to have been producing the goods.

It is slightly concerning that since investing millions into our state of art training complex we've yet to produce a youngster who has been able to challenge for a first team place on a regular basis. Where's the next Brown, Fletcher etc? Appreciate only a small proportion make the transition from youths to the first team but I can't think of 1 over the last few years that I would be disappointed to see the back of. Don't think we can count Cummings as one since her came to us late on.

I think it was more down to our previous regime in charge of the youth academy, McDonagh as good a guy as he was produced technically gifted players but they were nowhere near physically/mentally ready for the 1st team, unlike our neighbours who's lads are all ready to go when they hit 19. Just look at Harris, Stanton and Handling, technically very good but look like wee kids, now look at McGinn, Henderson and Fyvie, a similar age but 3-4 years ahead in their development.
May and McBride were brought in to get players 1st team ready, this will not happen over night and may take 3-4 years before we produce 1 or 2 players.

In 2009 Hibs Youths won the league and cup double.
This is the team that beat Rangers in the cup final. Calum Booth was the only one who made the 1st team. The rest disappeared without trace.
Paul Grant; Calum Burns, Aaron Chalmers, Scott Smith, Callum Booth; Lewis Horner (Keith Murray 74mins), Scott Taggart, Tom McCready, Matthew Welsh (Mark Lancaster 74mins); Fergus Bell, David Love (Jon Wright

According to The Scotsman this was the team:
Flynn; Park, Moyes (Welch 111), Smith, Booth; Russell, Wotherspoon, Currie, Bell (Kelly 88); Byrne, Deane (Taggart 82). Subs not used: Graham, Murray.
Your point still stands as only Wotherspoon made it into the first team alongside Booth. Hanlon would have been part of that side but he had already been promoted to the first team. Sean Welsh who was injured for that game is captain at Partick Thistle, so despite not making at Hibs has at least 'made it' at SPL-level.

I've posted the wrong team. In fact I can't even find the site I got it from.
On checking wiki I notice that the Rangers team that we beat had Dylan McGeouch on the bench.

Can anyone remember Patrick Deane? He was a big lump of a centre forward that scored goals

Yeah, struggled at first team level sadly.
had really high hopes for Sean Welsh, but it never came to pass for him at hibs

We have Insall out on loan at East Fife scoring goals. Although he's slightly older than most of the youth squad, still a decent prospect. I wonder if he'll be given a chance next season.

Would love to see him challenge for a place next season.
It would also be good to see that young left back emerge and put pressure on Lewis. Left back is almost without competition.

I read an interview with Insall saying he's lost 2 stone since training with Hibs and East Fife! His attitude seems spot on. Let's hope he has the ability to match.

I blame fenlon for getting rid of the youths that should be coming through, and all the loans brought in not developing our youngsters within the squad
