sir_gary_cahill

been out almost a year, i think he ruptured his ACL not too sure though and yes it was his only reserve performance

he was used purely because we had no-one else, his long term future is at centre back imo

i think it was more down this season's u16s not being good enough to be kept on but the u15s are a talented bunch, what do you make of jordan graham, the little black right winger? good to hear about barrett, i can't understand why he wasn't offered a scholarship back in november! interesting to hear your thoughts on the 2nd years, you don't think they'll keep grocott? every time i've seen him, he's looked a good footballer who seems to have done decent job out of position at right back, i also think that poyser has potential. i think flanagan will be retained also i've always liked him plus he's been out injured a long time. that delfouneso, bannan group was once in a generation and i'm proud to say i witnessed it, we should've won the youth cup in 2008!

oh don't get me wrong, i don't think halfhuid's got a cat in hell's chance of making it with us as a striker, just disappointed for him as he has scored goats when called upon. The transition to centre forward won't be long term imo. I assume the little left winger you referred to is jack grealish who is 14, definitely got a big future with us, just hope we can hold onto him! i think simmonds is a good talent but not quite good enough to make it with us long term. how were barrett and carruthers? which of the current 2nd years do you think will be released in the summer?

cheers for that, any idea how long siegrist is out for? or who scored for u16s? i thought we would've gone weaker considering the fulham game's so close. feel sorry for halfhuid! where does nelson addy actually play? and who were the unused subs?

ruben micael was quality against arsenal! thought costinha was still playing, shows what i know!

18s won 1-0 kofi poyser

16s won 3-0 today away at cardiff, umit eminoglu scored 2 and darious darkin got the other 1 don't know about 18s

I'd have thought so yeah, they're nothing special

semi final is 2 legged aswell! away to palace or newcastle 1st if we beat fulham

both keepers calum barrett and matt coton have been given scholarships for next season other confirmed scholars so far are richard bryan (cb), seb jenkins (cb) and darioud darkin (cm)

cheers for that! newcastle or crystal palace away providing we can beat fulham

I think he's got real ability, he bossed the play-off final only played half an hour and got Derby into the prem. He's still only 21 still got time on his side, we'll see eh?

what position did he play? how was barrett?

How was Nelson-Addy? I've heard good things about him thanks very much for the report the u16 side was very mish mash, there was a few trialists, 15s and 14s

don't rate Corluka as a CB the rest are decent nothing more imo

rubbish Trent! if he sorts his head and fitness out he'll be a top player, he was running games for Derby when he was 17!

We'll face Fulham away in the quarter final of the youth cup provided we can beat Millwall after they beat Ipswich 3-1

it was postponed! both u16 and u18 games

where did you get that from andy? the game was called off...

soon as he's fit he'll go out on loan imo

oh thanks very much, that's shame we'll struggle on Friday now

where have you heard that?

agreed obe but i'd put my life on petrov playing even if he's 70% fit!

cheers for that he's a really decent keeper i'm surprised we haven't taken him on for next season yet- he finds out at the end of the week if we have. i'm pretty sure delfouneso's only there on trial at the minute. the current u15s are a good group i think the left back you're referring to is oli stevenson although i'm not 100% jordan graham scored our goal, he's a good right winger umit eminoglu, a striker, is another 1 to look out as is centre midfielder charlie ward. the pick of the bunch though is jack grealish an u14 winger who's a regular in the u16s, he's brilliant for his age!
