Like the way Shenton stresses the fact that results aren't the be all and end all at that level, it's all about development. If we get 3/4 of the players becoming SL regulars we have done incredibly well.

Big test of the reserves tonight playing a very strong Wakey side, with nearly their 13 named first team players and some very experienced players including 3 overseas players.
Scott, JJ and Bowden playing, but will be a good test of some of the young players

Yep its sounds from the article as though the development aspect of the young players under the club are in very good hands with Shenton and Riding. Its an interesting point Shenton made regarding the winning aspect in terms of it can lead to a false sense of security as in subconsciously they may stop putting as much effort in during training etc. Certainly proving so far to have been very good appointments by the club to bring Shenton and Riding in.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Well I don't think it was a coincidence that Denive followed him over
He spoke really well about developing good people and how off the field traits are equally important as on the field ability. He was also keen to stress the need to spread our net further than we have done in the past and we are already working with community clubs in Cumbria and the North East.

Wonder whether he was behind those loan deals for a few of ours? Things certainly seem to be heading in the right direction in this area
