useless Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Our U23s beat Leamington FC 1-0 today, Wright with the goal... Ákos Onódi, Charlie Farr, Jake Walker, Brad Burton, Jack Birch, Harrison Sohna, Tyreik Wright, Ben Guy, DJ Sturridge, Lewis Brunt, Michael Tait. Substitutes unknown. Surprised to see Jack Birch involved since he was on the released list published in June. Edited August 22, 2020 by useless 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes I've just seen that they've post the same on instagram and another one of our youth players, Tristan Abldeen-Goodridge, has commented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2020 He is supposed to be some talent and if we do get him it is another one we will have landed from under the noses of some of the big boys. I love what Mark Harrision is doing and the backing they are giving him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 22, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2020 With everything happening this summer with the academy it is easy to forget they spent £3m on Barry back in January. I don't think any club is spending what we are on their academy at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've probably put around £5m into these academy arrivals since Mark Harrison arrived, plus what they've spent on the academy and recruiting staff, significant investment.

Where have you seen that these judges think that he’s good?
