2. No idea. Who are the homegrown player Nuno developed at Wolves? By the way I wasn’t implying Nuno can’t improve players and younger players in the first team squad, just that he doesn’t bring them up from the academy.

He gave Morgan is premier league debut.

Incase you didn't know, Nuno has never lost to Bournemouth, won 3 and drawn 1.

Understood. 

I read your post in a way suggesting that Nuno would be a block to homegrown players into the first team and citing Cooper as someone who was that way inclined, whereas my perception was that despite Cooper’s reputation of nurturing young talent that he had not actually paved that way for young players during his tenure with us, albeit the reality is probably that simply no one was good enough in the 27 months that he was here. 

If the stories are right then Nuno will likely continue in the same vein?

Well done guys.

A tiny little bit of bias perhaps.

Our academy players are a million miles off being up to premier league standard. Even our championship players have proved to be not up to it. Now we're in the prem, unless they're a ridiculous talent, I just cant see a youngster coming through for us and becoming established in the near future. The level is just far to high.

Didnt our u21's get beaten 3-0 by Donny recently?

This us their first time being in the JPT and playing in the international cup, so I’d assume it’s a tall learning curve for them, but we need to keep being in the position to have our academy have these challenges so we can build up future starts in the next couple of seasons
