The ‘Cityfication’ of football continues,
8 goals in total including THB last weekend, not bad for an academy that has only ever produced 1 decent player

In the Tuesday championship games every game I think bar Luton v Oxford (and only because Greg Leigh was presumably injured) had a City academy graduate in one of the match squads.

Should be some more tonight as well - Tom Dele-Bashiru, Tyrese Campbell and Shea Charles. Dont think there will be one in the Stoke vs Portsmouth game though.
Quite a few in League One too last night - Luke Mbete, Lewis Fiorini, George Evans, Joe Hodge & Ed Francis

Which re-inforces the thought that even if kids don't progress to our first team, they still have a good chance of a decent career in the lower leagues.

Was the Robert Mak, who came on for Slovan last night the one, who was in the FA Youth Cup winning squad in 2008.
EDIT. I’ve just had a look on Wikipedia, and it was.
I remember him well. He was a decent player. Just didn't have that extra ingredient to be very good. Whilst he may not have had an illustrious career, he got to learn his trade in another country (over here) as a youngster and then played in Turkey, Greece, Russia, Australia etc..

Kasper Schmeichal (or however his last name is spelt) at CelticNot PL obviously, but Felix Nmecha scored for Dortmund at the weekend, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored for Lazio in the Europa League last week and Tom Dele-Bashiru scored the winner for Watford at the weekend.
