1 You make a rather smug post that Rovers have hit the mark on bringing young players through and anyone who questioned this in the past looks stupid.
2 When no one rises to it, you bump the thread and claim some sort of victory.
3 Someone provides an alternative presentation of the facts that's not spun in quite the same way.
4 You don't like 3 so resort to personal insults of said poster and bring said poster's spouse in for a character slating as well.
The facts are that Kris Welham has come through your academy and you've made a good spot in Watts. Well done. All clubs have to have 8 homegrown players (although not all include an Australian), hence when you have a lot of injuries, say 4 to the backine, there aren't many other options. It's an alternative view of Rovers position to yours, so deal with it. Preferably without resorting to personal insults, if you feel able, of course.
The facts are Kris Welham didn't come through Rovers acadamy only. He was in fact on Hulls books at U-18's and played a number of acadamy games for them under Steve Crooks and after that spent quite a bit of time at Doncaster before he got his chance at Rovers. Don't think Rovers can take all the credit for his development
