How have the young reserves fared so far this season" Real Madrid Castilla and the academy have become a forgotten project in recent times, abandoned in favour for more attractive, pricier talents from around the globe that can be injected straight into the first team. Whilst this method has earnt the club achievements in the form of results and trophies, it has drifted away from the successful pathway which countless homegrown players have progressed through to make a huge impact on the first team (albeit after a successful loan spell elsewhere for many), and has left the youth set-up in disarray. The funding, scouting and general attention has plummeted year after year, and this season could see Castilla suffer the ultimate consequence of this neglect. They currently sit 19th out of the 20 teams in the league ?group,? and are joint on points with the worst placed side, with only one goal difference keeping them from the bottom. Join me as we analyse the season so far and attempt to unearth the vast number of issues with the team, whilst identifying some potential solutions.
8 points (1W, 5D, 4L) confirms that this is the worst start to a third division season after ten games in recorded history for Real Madrid Castilla.

Elsewhere, it is the worst league start since 2013/14, when Castilla could only earn one division two win, losing the nine others. pic.twitter.com/qs8ytlFvM2? Real Madrid Castilla Stats ...
