Obodo has a very good physique for a 16 year old & he'll continue to grow.
Flynn seems to rate him, which hasn't always been the case with some of our managers when it came to young prospects.
The key for rated youngsters between 16 - 20 is attitude & staying injury free.
Jordan Young fell foul of the latter.
I worry for Kanu's future prospects but hope he has the strength of will to come back stronger.
One youngster that I had very high hopes for, but whose name escapes me, DIV will remember.
Scored loads for the youth team, made his debut in brightly coloured boots & got stick from the TE for not chasing down & that was it.
Attitude & mental strength possibly the failing that led to a career in non league.
Remembered! Lloyd Macklin.
A few that slipped through the net & were let go & then went on to play in the league.
Denny Mundee springs to mind.
With the pressure for results on the pitch most clubs won't have the time or patience to give their youngsters a chance unless they really standout, at which point they'll end up in one of the human warehouses higher up the league.
Be interesting to see who gets Pro deals as Kanu, Brown, Hart (hope not), Hubbard and Evans all have scholarships coming to an end next summer. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

The under 11 team?
There is one very tall youngster at the start of that, looks like he about 6 foot 4! |
