Probably a good strategy to have a few older players to help solidify the U23 team. You don't want 11 talented U18's overrun each match and losing their confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think we're just giving him a chance to showcase his skills and find himself a club while we rest a couple of ours for the Youth Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few players missing from that lineup which explains the heavy defeat. Only 2 of that team started against Newcastle.

OutByEaster? Posted May 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2021 Youth Cup semi-final will be Friday 14th May at 18:00. I think that one might deserve its own thread. It's live on BT Sport. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Last night's line up is pretty much what you'd expect for a U18 league game, the only real regulars missing were Appiah and Ealing and Ealing's been missing for a while now anyway, presumably injured. Leicester aren't very good, lost 8-0 at the weekend and are near the bottom of the table, so whilst we haven't been great ourselves results wise recently, I'm sure we would have expected to do a little better. That said we did start with three U16 players and bring on another two in the second half, one of them playing at this level at least a year earlier than you'd normally expect, so most important thing will have been to see how they adapt to U18 football.

useless Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Brad Burton has been on trial with Burnley, and played for their U23s against Leeds. So seems like he's one we're letting go at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Harry Williams from West Brow is training with us for 2 weeks apparently. 18 y.o CB who's also followed by Burnley. 6ft 3 with a royal name, can't go wrong there surely. Also saw a rumor linking us with a 16 y.o CB Josh Feeney from Fleetwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) 2-0 down at half-time both their goals coming from penalties. Can tell that it's quite a disjointed side with a lot of U16s playing, think these final games are more about seeing how they bed in at this level rather worrying too much about results, Patterson looks neat and tidy on the ball, probably one of our better players, Barber has show a few good moments as well. Kadan Young meant to be well regarded so will interesting to see him if he comes on in the second half. Edited May 8, 2021 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2021 5 minutes ago, TRO said: We seem to be struggling a bit at U18 level? We've not really had much to play for in the league at either U18 or U23 level in the latter part of the season so we've rested a number of our better players in order to keep them fresh for the Youth Cup. At U18 level the Youth Cup is the tournament that carries all the prestige and the focus has been on that for a few weeks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Finished 5-2 to Arsenal which I think was an harsh scoreline. Tommoi O'Reilly and Abldeen-Goodridge with our goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Really hope that Aaron Ramsey is availabe for the semi-final, someone at the game on another forum said his ankle injury against Albion in the league looked like a bad one, and he hasn't been seen since. Chrisene seems to have been out for a while now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
