Defender Matty Rain believes the youngsters stepping up to the U23s will 'grow stronger' game by game, as the Clarets host Leeds United on Monday afternoon.
After 11 key members of Andy Farrell's side left the club on loan in January, it opened the door for the likes of Rain, alongside a handful of other scholars to make the step up the U23 set up.
Rain has been one of 10 scholars, that have featured over the last couple of games, winning both of them with impressive performances, with second-year scholars Chris Conn-Clarke, Max Thompson and Mitch George all finding the net.
