Unused Sub Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Excellent. Thanks BOF. I assume Reading away will be rearranged at some point as it clashes with the EFL trophy. Note that WBA away is at Telford and Wolves away is at Kiddy, its normally the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in saying that was Josh Feeney’s first match for us? He’s only 16 years old and he’s skipped the youth team, he must be good. Is that Cameron Archer on the bench too? He seems to be around for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s quite a natural footballer and good technically so he could play at left wing but I don’t recall seeing him play there I've seen him play out wide a few times. I'm pretty sure he played in midfield in the youth cup final, but I can't remember whether he was out wide or central. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yes Archer was on the bench according to the teamsheet, he's still only nineteen. Feeney played for the U18s at the weekend against Oxford, don't know the score from that game but seems he's done well to have got a game for the U23s aleady. Josh Webb in the Hednesford side is the same Josh Webb that came through our academy and played in the NextGen final, apparently still works for us as a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessarily because they see him as a winger, just that he is going to be far more attacking than Revan so pushed him forwards. He seems like a decent, tidy player. A way off from showing anything that makes me think he should be promoted, but with some of the older players moving up it will be a good chance for him to take more responsibility for the u23s this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Seb Revan that you’re referring to there? Some just take to it and adapt like Jack Grealish, it’s rare and of course, Grealish is special but he’s shown it can be done. Let’s hope that some of the new crop can follow his lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's massive to have a player like that come through and hopefully they also see the work it requires to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they'll either re-arrange or send pre-dominantly different teams to both. Perhaps Papa John will get a younger contingent. I dunno.

Exeter Fan Too Posted August 5, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 On 26/07/2021 at 16:45, sir_gary_cahill said: Whenever I’ve seen Ben Chrisene play for our u18s or u23s, he’s been playing at left back, not left wing.

But because he's technically strong he could probably play in many different positions. I guess his main career won't be at left back; but its a really good education to play different positions and also in the 'what the team needs is more important than your preference for a particular position' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 What will our team be for the this season? Barry, Kessler, Revan and properly Ramsey, Young will all go out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It fell apart because we started promoting them to the U23s, but up until the new year last season our U18 league team were top of the table and looking like favorites to win the league that side that did so well while they were together will I think give us a good indication of how our U23s will look next season... Marschall, Ealing, Appiah, Swinkels, Chrisene, Bogarde, Raikhy, Lindley, Reddin, Sewell, Young... Was pretty much the most frequent starting eleven, Iroegbunam will obviously come in, the likes of the likes of Hart, Afoka, Tommi O'Reilly, Aaron O'Reilly, Shakpoke when fit, will all be involved as well, and some of the U18s such as Patterson, Feeney, Ajani, or any others that do well at that level could be fast tracked into the U23s. Basically we've got a lot of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
