We seem to produce a lot of good CB's in the academy, all capable of playing out from the back, bringing the ball forward etc.

I think this is the nature of how the club plays in the same way from senior to junior, and also possibly because as defenders they don't have to defend as much as some at other clubs development squads will, something of a chicken and egg situation, of having more time on the ball with slow build up, and not many teams attack us.

It's a pity we don't seem to develop quite as good DM players from the system, because they would be worth their weight in gold, if we could bring one right through to the first team. We all had hopes for Tommy Doyle ( think that was more sentiment), but he'll have a good career just not with City.

We’ve a glut of DMs coming through at the moment - Wright O’Reilly leading the chase

Had high hopes for Dada-Mascoll as a DM but he's been plagued by injuries. Missed virtually all of last season & not been involved so far this season.
