For goodness sake. Only a few days after Corbyn is elected as president and we're being forced to field develop Islam at the expense of a player eligible for our country.
Sickening.

ok to laugh, I suppose but surely a win is what is needed against the 2nd string of a lower SPL team? we know where we are , but have more of a budget than the likes of the club that just beat us, naw?

Hamilton have a very good young side. Don't let them fool you just cause they're not a fashionable side so to speak.

U20s should be about developing their game and body so that they are better prepared for the step up.
Footballers should naturally have that winning mentality anyways.

I understand that we have younger players in the team and that development is a key part of the process. But I had commented on another thread about the fact we had gone from winning games at this level to losing most of them now and wondered what the reasons we're ,which has partly been explained .
But a bit of me thinks it can't be that great Turning out week in and week out ,and getting beat .and at some point you would think that could start to impact on squad morale ,and isn't great for confidence .
However we had the hoodo over hearts at this and other younger age groups for a while and very few of those players broke through into first team So be interesting to see how this crop fairs over the next three to four years .

Should players want to win games....of course they should. But its not the development coaches job to ensure they win games.

I know they have a bit of a following in themselves but results are not important at all. We've had decent teams in the past at that level who have gone on to achieve nothing. We need to change the way we ae getting players ready for the first team. If that means results at that level suffer then that doesn't matter at all.

We had a development team a few years back that won the double, where are all those players now?
It's important to get a balance, winning is very important but development is even more so, we've been blessed with a lot of very good players coming through the ranks in recent years, some have looked very good Stanton, Handling and Harris but as we've seen they were not physically ready for the 1st team football.Last edited by J-C; 17-09-2015 at 09:09 AM.

After that the Pro clubs have taken the best players away anyway. Do you want the rest of the lads not to play competitively even though they are outside the system? Playing for a team in a league, trying to win each week, playing for cups etc is a great way to spend your youth.

While I'm not losing any sleep over the development team losing again - the results this season for this team have been poor.
My concern is that not winning games can affect morale and development.
I understand with youth football it's not about winning till around 12 upwards but a competitive mindset has to be installed into these players.
If they aren't developing this mindset then what chance do they have when they are under pressure for the 1st team.
This club has been full of weak mentality the last few years and while maybe only 1 or 2 may make it to the first team out of this group we need a culture of winners.
I just hope the coaches are installing that as they games I've seen the development team play I can't see where our next good youngster is coming from - don't get me started on the lack of good goalies - this should be a priority of the academy as it's been far too long since one was anywhere near the 1st team.

If there is a coach alive that can "ensure" a team can win at any level then he's welcome to Stubb's post.
Has anyone thought Hamilton and any other team that had beaten the Development Squad recently proably just deserved to win the game.
We have a young squad there, I'm sure as they 'develop' results will improve.

There's something wrong somewhere I'd suggest.
