Youngsters are a credit to this club - Tinnion

NO BETTER EXPERIENCE

"It was great experience for Lloyd Kelly and Zak Vyner as well. They have been in and out for a few games so again you can't get any better experience than playing in games like this.

"Watford are an established, good Premier League side who were stretched against us. They had to defend, work extremely hard and I thought all of the youngsters involved with the rest of the squad today were a credit to the football club.

ACADEMY GRADUATES ARE AN INSPIRATION

"We base the sole our our academy on the players you want go be as good as and play where they are. Academy graduates Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid are now established first-team players with a lot of games under their belts and that's where we want the Opis, Connors, Lloyds and Zaks and others. They are really close to that step and we're really pleased with how it's going.

"We're pleased with how the club is developing and how it allows young players to get to that next step.

"We've got a good academy, with good young players and we have a manager here who will play them which is great because otherwise you never know [how good they are] if they don't play in the first team. They are getting that exposure now, that chance and I'm sure there will be more."
