The dream for me would be an entire squad made up of academy graduates. If we had somehow managed to retain everyone, we would currently have the following to choose from:

GK: Ravas, Evans
RB: Bogle, Kellan Gordon
CB: Rooney, Rawson, Bardell
CB: Cashin, Buchanan
LB: Lowe, ABrown, Williams
CM: Hughes, JBrown, DRobinson
CM: Bird, Elsnik, Thompson
CM: Knight, Hendrick, Sibley, Guy
RW: Whittaker, Ebiowei
LW: Ebosele, Kaide Gordon, Kellyman
CF: Delap, Jacobsen, Stretton, Plange, DBrown

Who would make your 23 man squad from those I've listed (or others I may have missed off)? Where do you think it would place in the Championship?

Centre mid would be hard to pick, not a bad squad, maybe a bit weak at the back

My team from that

                              Evans

   Bogle.         Rooney.      Cashin.     Lowe

            Knight.      Bird.       Hughes

   Whittaker.                                     Gordon

                              Delap

Subs

Ravas, Bardell, Buchanan, Thompson, Sibley, Kellyman, D Brown

In the championship I don’t know but in League 1 this season that team finishes comfortably above relegation this year, top half next year and promoted year after that.

Can’t understand how Brown can’t make at least the first team bench.

He’s not quite ready yet. IMO if he’s banging in 2-3 a game by Xmas then it’s time.

It’s a good result today but reaction needs to be tempered by how young the Man City team were. 
We had 4 u18s starting and they had more than that.
 

Brown has a great future and if he’s still scoring at Xmas and still not getting chances with the first team then questions should be asked.

Hopefully a new manager will trust the academy more than Warne.

I am on complete agreement with you. See my earlier posts in this thread. We have lads almost there and some minutes this season with a larger contribution next is for me the answer. 
 

i thought we would be comfortable by Xmas and able to start “blooding” then in the new year….
