Wish we'd got Small in. Kesler on loan. Chrisene and Patterson both injured Zito seems very raw but there too. Think there is some promising Fullbacks coming through. But I agree Small would've been great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarnikjak Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Small would've been great, but he wanted 1st squad place, not to be part of academy anymore. He got that at Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think like Livramento (who I think we were also linked with at one point), Small has been promised first team football and not sure we could offer that this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season? Not a chance IMO. Would need a loan first i think to see how he copes with senior football over good few matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's only ever between league one and league two teams, when I've seen the finals. All L1 & L2 clubs + 16 invited Academies = 64 teams = 16 groups of 4 (each group has one Acad) Each team plays other 3 once. Acad teams always play away Top 2 each group go through. Each group winner plays a runnerup from a different group. Academy teams are kept apart from Round 2 to SF. (Not sure how that works) It might be called the Ham&PineapplePizza Cup - but it actually is the kid brother of the League Cup - The English Football League Trophy**. And I'd be surprised if L1/L2 teams take it lightly. ** not to be confused with the FA Trophy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 In relation to the Wycombe game, i thought one of their players, Connor Persons, looked very good. He is 20 years old (21 in Oct) and English, he joined them this summer from Dalvik in Iceland, prior to that he was at Lowestoft and the Norwich Youth system. Its hard to gauge a players talent from one game ofc, and he is nearly 21 so not super young, but he did look very comfortable on the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
