What's the story here then?
The results have been ... em, poor to say the least. I know it's about development etc, but we are putting out pretty strong teams and the performances have left a lot to be desired by all accounts.
Anybody watch regularly? What's happening?

over the line
He seems to be quite close to Levein, certainly up with him in the stand for every game. Anyone watch the 20s at all?
I do get the impression that some of the senior players are there just for a run out, and are maybe told not to push it in case they get injured.
Not sure if that's believable or not.
From reading the report (FFs, to be fair) sounds like Keatings couldn't be arsed and didn't break sweat tonight.
Stupid if true, he has a good chance of getting a game on Sunday if Sow is injured, could have used this game to impress.

Tbf it wasn't that long ago their squad was ripped apart to cater for the first team.
Give them time to settle under a coach who has had the team for a few years and i'm sure it will pick up again.
Big transitional period for the club as a whole, not just the first team.

If only Darren Murray was still in charge.
The whole club was ravaged by admin, 4-5 0f the first team squad can still play in the under 20's.
Puts it into perspective how lucky we have been with getting 6-7 folk from the youth teams straight into the first team, it won't happen again anytime soon. We shouldn't fall into the trap that hibs did with Brown etc and sell them early thinking we can replace them with boys from the youth set-up as the truth is the barrel is pretty empty.
Expect to see more of the youth players get a run out this month so robbie can judge them to see if they are ready, if not i expect a few fresh faces in the squad and few going out on loan.
Do folk actually give a shit about the results? To me it is about making sure we get 1 or 2 decent individuals come through every year. 99% of the boys won't make it at Hearts. We were really luck to have the last group but I don't think that's somethingbwe should come to expect.

Wonder if St Mirren U20 fans will be crowing about it in 40 years time

I genuinely couldn't care less about U20 scores - useful for fringe players and youngsters, that's about it.
