It won’t have escaped Town fans’ attention that new boss Paul Cook’s starting line-up for his first home game in charge – Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Lincoln – featured no fewer than five outfield players who all progressed through the club academy.
One of them, Jack Lankester, was delighted to make his first start of 20121 alongside the familiar faces of Flynn Downes, Andre Dozzell, Teddy Bishop and Myles Kenlock, all academy graduates whose ability has seen them gain valuable experience under a succession of managers.

Wright and Cotter Left Out of 21-Man Senior Squad
Monday, 22nd Feb 2021 16:15
The EFL has published its clubs’ squads for the second half of the season following the January transfer window, confirming that the Blues have left Harry Wright and Barry Cotter out of a senior list of 21 rather than 22 players.
Due to the salary cap, which it was recently announced will be scrapped from the end of the season, clubs were permitted to name only 22 players aged over 21 on New Year’s Day 2020 in a senior squad.
That squad was limited to a wage bill of £2.5 million but with contracts signed prior to the introduction of the cap treated at a lower level, as if they are worth £113,000 per annum.
