Under 18s took a bad beating last night. A lot of changes over the season and a few players loaned out. I think there were a few younger players playing last night.
Saints second, a far way behind Morton in the under 18 performance league but bottom of the under 16 league.
I know we have brought through Dare and Hamill and got good money for them but it doesn't seem to transfer to the first team with few making the grade.
We are only in the performance league , don't know how we would fare in the Elite league.
There is also the problem of over 18s not getting football unless they are loaned out some lower league club that are not doing well and won't help the confidence of young players getting gubbed ever week.
Also we have a team of players and more sitting in the stand every week. I think we should join the reserve league and have these players and over 18s getting some game time.
I know or think Saints get money towards youth development but surely being part of the reserve league can't be that expensive. I think Queens Park and Hamilton are part of it.
Anyway International break is boring as you can see from above rant.
