meant to quote this

"Does 22 apply to all positions would you say? As each position hits their keep at different times? For example I have a keeper at the minute who supposedly will be awesome but is crap at 20 - if he's still useless in 2 years do I need to consider getting shot of him or do they get longer to develop?"

I think patience is a key here. I have the same thoughts, loan them out to a blue square team or keep them in my reserves?

and I actually tend to keep them in my reserves, if they are very promising, because I think they can learn more there with being tutored and the facilites. Also I let my reserves play at least once a week, so friendly friendly friendly. It works.

I would suggest trying to get some more feeder clubs. scottish teams seem to work well for me, or just championship or D1/2 teams, as long as they are professional (otherwise they often only train part-time!!)
