Fact is, most clubs who we've looked to in recent years for unearthing young gems haven't done so without some turnover of ones that haven't worked out. It's just part and parcel of football, but because we haven't done any of it for so long we have unrealistic expectations now we've finally begun again.
Not a single one of Furlong, Ehmer, Comley, Doughty, Sutherland, Grego-Cox might make it with us in the end. And that would make us no different to 9 clubs out of 10, some of whom invest untold sums in their youth and scouting systems. |  | |  |

Or to put it another way, most footballers are crap, many go on to earn a living playing the game, others don't.
Professional Football Clubs employ around 5000 players, this group is distilled from a group that ranks in the many, many millions.
Not all these failed millions have been signed by Queens Park Rangers....so I'm informed. |  | | |

I always feel Sheron gets a more raw deal than he deserves. His record of 20 goals in 69 games isn't bad. I think we would grab a "goal every 3 games or so" striker with both hands now. |
Fair point, but I remember a game (vs Wolves I think) when he missed a wide open goal then had a go at the crowd when they berated him for it. |  |
