According to the Courier we had the youngest starting line-up in the Championship on Saturday

Average ages 07/12/2024

DUNFERMLINE 22.9
Airdrie 23
Ayr United 24.4
Falkirk 25.1
Morton 25.5
Queen’s Park 25.7
Hamilton Accies 26.7
Partick Thistle 27.6
Raith Rovers 28.1
Livingston 28.7

They claim it was the youngest team in all the Scottish leagues at the weekend. They quote James McPake as saying -

“The first day I met the owners, the first day I met David [Cook, chief executive], that’s what they wanted to do at this football club, was produce young players and develop young players and I think [Saturday] was a great view of that, and the work that’s getting done.”

Interesting wee eck, conversely wonder if that meant we had one of it the oldest benches? W

Having Sutherland in the team made all the difference age wise although he struggled a bit, hopefully he’ll get a few more chances off the bench.

I get the producing young players with Todd, Sutherland and young in the team but not clear at all on the management team developing them further.

The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

Not like you to make a negative out of a positive, Berkey....in fact you managed two.
