On for 56 mins in 5 - 1 victory over Sheffield Utd U -18's - "a curling 25-yarder well saved". Hope he gets game time next match (v Spurs, FA Youth Cup quarter-final).

83 mins on Saturday in Academy 2-0 away win over Swansea City. "The work ethic of Yates and Dylan Burns in the centre of midfield spurred the Reds on to their 5th win in a row to continue their five-month unbeaten run."

Came on at 61' minute as Reds run rampant over QPR in a 5 -0 victory that sees them end the season on a 16 match unbeaten run and into the play-offs.

Looks like his season is over having made a total of seven starts plus one sub appearance. As fourteen of the other academy kids made it into double figures, and many of them into the 20's,  it's doubtful our Dylan will be there next year.

Was Dylan ever in a shot for the under 20s? Looks like a type of player that could of been useful or is he considered too young?

same age as Dire(dyer) and Billingsly in pro setup full time known to Bazeley (in final 30 for his last 17's but didn't make it) not sure why he wasn't included over most of our midfield options.
