You know, this thread should be making me feel full of hope for the future but it just seems that none of our kids are destined for anything better than a decent EPL career.
I am still hoping for Adam and Harry but they can't get off the sub's bench. And Charlton can't score and Obika is still left on the bench.

Just got in from the amex, absolutely frozen do not think i have ever been so cold at a football match.
The main points from the game for me were. Townsend who is a player i have always liked so i may be a little biased but i felt he was the man of the match. A little to selfish at times and not everything he tried came off but he also showed great touches and real imagination. Lots of good running and some decent crosses, this lad has to be involved with us next season. If he was foreign im sure with the glimpses he has shown people would be calling for him to be involved in the team.
Rose had a good half and did not look to be put in any trouble but that may have something to do with the opposition.
Smith was ok and full of running but really the second half was ruined by the sending offs and i do not know how much can really be taaught by this game as the second half was a dead rubber.
That big black lad at loan at watford from chelsea looks like he could become a real player, one to watch i think.

To be fair, we do have four strikers who are out on loan but who could otherwise have played for the U21's:
Kane, Coulibaly, Mason, Obika.

McDermott: Spurs academy has created a “no excuse culture” for young stars
By Ben Pearce, Tottenham correspondent

Tottenham’s academy manager John McDermott says the club’s new training ground has created a “no excuse culture” which is aiding his efforts to develop Spurs’ young prospects.
The Lilywhites moved into their £45million state-of-the-art facility, which houses the first team and the youth section, at the beginning of the season – and McDermott feels the players’ surroundings are having an effect.
“Is there more of an emphasis on producing young players now? I like to think it’s always been the case,” he said.
“In terms of the new training ground, it’s brought a huge boost to us, and to the whole club. It’s an outstanding environment to work in and it just provides a no excuse culture really.
“They’re fantastic pitches and there’s plenty of staff. Players with talent and players that apply themselves have got every chance of doing well – and this year Andre [Villas-Boas] has been giving a number of our boys an opportunity. As somebody in my job that’s what you want.
“You want talent to be able to meet opportunity and thankfully with Steven [Caulker], Tom [Carroll], Andros [Townsend] going out on loan and Danny [Rose] playing at Sunderland, the boys are now having the opportunity to showcase their talent, and that’s all I can ask for really.”
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy made reference to the long-term importance of the club’s youth development programme when he appointed Villas-Boas.
Levy said in July: “Andre [Villas-Boas] shares our long-term ambitions and ethos of developing players and nurturing young talent, and he will be able to do so now at a new world-class training centre.”
Nine months on, McDermott says Spurs’ head coach is committed to that mission and is keeping an eye on a number of the talents who have been impressing in the youth sides.
“The manager has been fantastic,” he said. “Shaq [Coulthirst] was on the bench at Liverpool, and he’s trained with the first team quite a lot. So has another of the boys, Harry Winks.
As I said, in terms of the no excuse culture at the training ground, the manager’s giving the boys the opportunity and he knows who they are. It’s up to people like Shaq and Harry to take the opportunity and impress.”
Unfortunately, Spurs’ young stars suffered disappointment last week as the Under-19s were eliminated from the NextGen Series.
The junior Lilywhites lost their quarter-final against Sporting Lisbon 5-3 after extra-time at Leyton Orient’s Brisbane Road, having fought back from 3-1 down to equalise in the 95th minute and force another half an hour of play.
“It’s disappointing really, the way we started the game and going 3-1 down,” said McDermott. “We got back to 3-3 and I thought we had a real chance in extra-time, but a mixture of good striking from them and maybe not the best defending from us just helped them to get it in the end. I’m just disappointed that I don’t think we showed as well as we can play.”
Despite the result, McDermott feels his side will be better off for their experience in the prestigious European competition.
“I think the tournament’s outstanding,” he said. “We’re trying to produce Premier League players here. The Premier League is obviously multi-national and it gives our players the opportunity to play against top Portuguese, French and German players.
“It’s real category A opposition and it gives us a true reflection of the different types and different blends that you get in the Premier League.
“For the last six or seven years we’ve been playing lots of different international tournaments. We normally go abroad and try to find them but NextGen have provided a fantastic opportunity for an organised tournament throughout the season.
“We go to a number of other tournaments now. We go to Ajax and we go to Moscow.
“We’ve still got a league to play in with the Under-18s. We’re doing well in that league and we’re doing well in the Under-21 league – and there are three tournaments between now and the end of the season to continue in this vein.”
