Ed, was it you that posted the statistics about Ronnie at Stromgodset, I am having a senior moment, I think because I can only remember the gist o it but I can't remember, maybe the more important bits, did Stromgodset go from having no players with international honours to having a great amount, I can't remember if the majority were youth players, and if they were, how much interaction did Ronnie have with the young players?, my point being, is there maybe a youth coach at Stromgodset, who is the real gem, and Ronnie was, is living on someone else reputation, it's just I am very dissapointed at the tardiness that Ronnie is introducing young players into the team, do you have any info on who was the youth coach at Stromgodset, when Ronnie was there.

Aindoh I don't think there's a tardiness at all. We have to write of last season for a start. No new manager is going to come in and throw several youngsters in the first team. Just give it a couple seasons and we'll see more young players coming on like Tierney, Bitton and Rogic. Its a conveyor belt but just takes a wee bit longer than RD has had to kickstart.

McGregor and Henderson were given a good few games last season an Tierney has broken through this term.
Bitton was a semi- regular before but has improved a lot since the start of last season and now that Rogic is injury free we can see why he was signed by NL.
I know there are few out on loan like Henderson, McGeoch and Fisher etc and I hope the experience helps their development and they can return and fight for a place. As I have more confidence in our own potential than the calibre of signings we have made lately.

Tierney WHAT a revelation he has been if we have one or two more like him coming through what a lift that will be (could be greedy and say 4 or 5 ) but I know that would be asking to much With no offence meant to the young players we have already.

Need to remember Ronny sees these guys day in day out, could be possible he thinks the youths are no better than what we already have?

The Head Coach and Manager should be responsible for all football activities . No one person can do all the coaching but he can set the standards . An example of how Deila has a very positive effect on the youth players and development players at Celtic is by him attending their matches and by giving a young 18 yr old regular starts . This should encourage more players of Tierney's age to push themselves forward.
Contrast that to MO'N who when asked said he couldn't play the youngsters as at Celtic you were expected to win every match .
Wouldn't have motivated the youth at that time.
