[Pendle Red]

When I have seen Burto play he seems profficent on the ball and has potential, the problem is as already mentioned we have an abundance of midfielders in fact probably enough to name a first eleven.

The other problem is the first eleven virtually picks itself and when a player does get a chance in the first team they have to shine from the outset or as we have seen the likelihood is they then disappear off the radar.

The Academy has borne fruit and is a way forward for Clubs like Stanley to forge links with the Community etc. but unless potential is given a chance then like other Clubs in the higher leagues the conveyor belt grinds to a halt
