Think we've got a few of those in the academy. I know there's nervousness whether we can keep hold of these stars and inevitably one or two will sign for bigger clubs. But Bastian and Diskin have created a superb culture in the academy where players want to sign for us. I believe we signed all the ones we wanted to from our scholarship and signed a few hot prospects from elsewhere.

Diskin really seems like a coach the young lads respect and want to give their all for. Replacing him will be just as crucial a decision as replacing Lowes was IMHO

Totally agree. Diskin will be hard to replace - as you say the academy has been playing well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Leigh Beattie promoted.

Yes it's about time that a young un turned up like that lad from Rhodesway school, I remember him being quite decent!
