I`ll remember you said that when Sinclair is looking down on us from a higher league wagging two fingers in our direction.

This king of thinking runs counter to the english disease of short-term thinking which dominates every aspect of our society especially in the world of football. Not one of those youngsters had the same opportunity as Akins and Murphy. MTFC really doesn`t deserve promising youngsters, and the likes of Dis, Leroy and Lawrence would be as quickly dismissed now as those just released. Brain dead way to run a football club, but it seems to suit quite a lot of people.

Jason Law started off at Carlton Town but we signed him when he was 16 so he did play for the youth team. Tyrese Sinclair (Blackburn Rovers) and Jimmy Knowles (Forest) were released by other academies but also did play for the youth team.
I'm looking forward to the first young lad coming through who has been with the Stags from U12/13/U14s.
I think Jack Thomas started with the Stags from a young age. He may have left to join County and then come back to the Stags.
