Doing a much better job with the updates, well done to whoever is responsible

Is Cameron Stones injured or is he full time now with the senior squad? If so, he should surely soon be getting a seat on the bench.

That’s a very good question. I wonder if when you sign a full time contract you’re no longer eligible for the academy.

You’d think if that was the case that he must be injured. His “Leyton Orient” mate, Arthur Gregory , seems to get regular starts for the academy team but then I don’t think he’s signed a professional contract. Easing teenage players into match squads is a tricky business. Giving Gregory a start in the EFL Trophy at Northampton proved to be a bridge too far for the lad and wouldn’t have done anything for his confidence. I hope we see Cam Stones getting a few substitute minutes before too long.

Defeat to the Cobblers this morning. No lineup posted.

Nice to see Cam Stones back involved.

Yes, indeed. Let’s hope he gets some regular minutes, although I’m not sure that the U18s play that many competitive matches.

“Cam Stones netted twice in a narrow 3-2 loss this morning.”

Half time now. How many goals has Cam Stones scored so far, I wonder?!

I see the number 10 is a trialist rumoured to be Morley!

I don’t see why he would be on trial

So he can link up with the future first-team players after the OG gets rid of everyone at the end of this season!

The kids lost 1-0.

It’ll be a lad whose future with the academy is still up for grabs, I imagine.

Would he think he has to prove himself in an academy game?

Doubt it given he posted an Instagram picture of him getting his haircut in Bolton this afternoon.
