two things

Being trailed by Man Utd" is just papertalk bollox.

And banging in goals as a kid does not make one in any way ready for senior, tier 2 football (our 'best' kid, Glenn Middleton, moved to Sevco Rangers In Jan but has yet to even make their bench)

And if you really doubt the mahoosive gap between kids' and 'proper' footy, then take a look at the results from the last 2 seasons of Football League Trophy, where the cream of U23 players have been beaten by the likes of Fleetwood, Bradford, Luton and Bury.
