Young Hornets on learning curve

The Hornets were without eight players on international duty while the reserves were also in action, beating Southend 5-0 at Roots Hall.So the club's Academy scholars were given the opportunity to train with the likes of Martin Taylor, Adrian Mariappa, Lloyd Doyley, John Eustace and Danny Graham."I think it's important that Academy players view older players at close hand," said Mackay."If you follow a certain recipe, there's a good chance you can become a professional footballer."Talent is vital but you need to have that alongside discipline and professionalism in the way you act. There's no secret. If you do that then you've got a better chance."
