You certainly dont hear him speak like that in a premier League press conference. Again he hinted about the issues with the current schedule and how the authorities are pushing players beyond thier limits. It seems the league cup might be his favourite competition the way he talks about the development and opportunity of playing the academy players. Not seen him so energised post match... Hopefully that energy will be taken into training and it has a similar effect with the first team players as we head into a tough run of upcoming fixtures.It was so good to hear him speaking so freely and with such enthusiasm about our academy. It will be exciting to follow the progress of these young lads in the future. And it's not just one or two good prospects...I think there are at least five or six extremely talented young players to watch out for.
Indeed. Last night was a great performance all round and some of the youth are now ready for that transition to the first team you would imagine.It was so good to hear him speaking so freely and with such enthusiasm about our academy.

My block in EL1 was almost full apart. Just the odd empty seat. I thought 27k but haven't seen anything official. Nothing on the BBC match reportJust echo what so many others have said: The young lads that started the game looked great and it's rare that a team making so many changes at the back concede just a single goal, whoever they are playing. Another couple of youngsters came off the bench and it looks like the academy staff have been doing a great job over the last few years.
I went in about 25 minutes before kick-off and there wasn't a queue at spiral C, but noticed queues building at the lower level turnstiles nearby. I'd estimate the crowd at fewer than 25,000 but obviously couldn't see how full East Stand level 1 looked.
A good night out. Just hope for another home tie in the draw tonight, or AFC Wimbledon or Brentford away.
