U18 & U23 news and info...

Good news. Lee Harkin is surprising me as a player and Marques is already too good for this level. Hope he can get a loan with gametime next season.

 

[Minimalist]

You’d think it would be ideal for Marques to go to grasshoppers for a season, think he came through their youth teams, plus they play a back 3 now I believe.

 

[Boss Hogg]

I think we’ve only got Marques under contract for another season?? So presume he’ll need a new contract before heading out on loan

I actually think he may be out of contract this summer. Maybe we have an option to extend it?
Either way you’d hope he’d be happy to sign a new one.

He signed one before he moved to Belenenses for his failed loan, although you are correct it is only until Summer 2023, however we hold an optional 12 month extension, so effectively 2024

If harkin physically develops he could be worth keeping. He is very weak at the moment and easily pushed off the ball.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Marques problem for me is he looks tailor made for the sweeper role....finding him a loan to a club who use a sweeper is gonna be very hard....you ain't finding that in league 1 and 2......I also think grasshoppers maybe best for him next season...

Maybe the Boggies would be a decent loan?

Not sure if they play with a sweeper, but they certainly need some new brooms.

 

[Wolves in Limerick]

Harkin seems a very skillful young lad who needs to develop physically. He has the making of a Daniel Podence (without the histrionics) about him.

Not sure you’re right about lower league teams not playing a back 3. Lots do.
Either way though I’d agree grasshoppers would seem to be ideal for him.

Slightly under the age groups for this thread but it may interest some......... the u14s are taking part in the 2022 Mina Cup which is being held in Dubai between 8th-13th April.

Wolves will face Dubai City FC, Pumas Unam (Mexico), and Fursan Hispania (A Dubai based football academy run by Michael Salgado) in their group.

The other group contains Go Pro Sports Academy, Alliance FC (both Dubai based football academies), Sturm Graz and Bhayangkara FC (Indonesia)

If anyone wants to see some potential stars of the distant future, the u14s start their Mina Cup campaign vs Pumas Unam at 2pm tomorrow followed by another match at 4:40pm vs Dubai City

It can be watched here (although you will need to register which is a pain)

Can they afford them.

Good luck lads! Looking forward to watching, hopefully we can get through to the semi final!

Good luck to the u23's today.

Does that mean that it is not being shown on Wolves TV

 

[JadeWolf]

I think so, because Peterborough are charging we can't offer it for anyone to watch free.

 

[JadeWolf]

Quiet first 15 minutes, we're starting to grow into the game though, just had a shot cleared off the line from a corner.

 

[JadeWolf]

Great solo run by Lembikisa, nudged as he was trying to work an opening, but no penalty given. Still 0-0.

 

[JadeWolf]

Peterborough having a little spell, Sondergaard made a decent save from a long range shot and they've had a couple of corners.

 

[JadeWolf]

Nice move by Wolves, Campbell picks out Lembikisa with a great crossfield pass. but his cross is just a bit too close to the keeper who manages to catch it.

 

[JadeWolf]

HT, 0-0. We've been the better side, been much more comfortable on the ball, but we have lacked a cutting edge. Looks like it's going to be Chem Campbell if anyone who gets us the breakthrough.

After his Newcastle debut, Campbell is back on the left, and looking more comfortable with it.

It's been like that with the Under -23's whenever I've watched them for several years now. So many games where we were decent enough, at least as good as the opposition, but just couldn't score and ended up hit by a sucker punch. I do wonder if this isn't a pattern because the first team has been much the same for a while, too.

Agree, he's been really good, his footwork is great the way he dances past tackles.

Yes, this season definitely we've been desperately short of a natural goalscorer in the U23s. It looked like Nathan Fraser was breaking through from the U18s and he'd be ideal but he's injured now.

 

[JadeWolf]

Players out for the second half. COYW!

 

[JadeWolf]

Peterborough player gets the first booking of the game for a pretty rough foul on Campbell. He's OK though.

 

[JadeWolf]

Kandola booked for us for stopping a counter attack, defo a booking. Just before that Campbell was almost in again, but his low cross was just poked away by a defender before a Wolves player could get there for a tap-in. Close!

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Campbell scores 0-1

 

[JadeWolf]

1-0 Wolves! Guess who? CHEM CAMPBELL! It's a lovely through by by Joey Hodge, and Campbell is so cool when he's 1v1 against the keeper, just slots it bottom corner. Get in!

 

[JadeWolf]

Marques down injured, looks like he got injured making an important block. Getting treatment now let's hope he can carry on.

 

[JadeWolf]

Almost 2-0, Hodge again with a great ball through, Bueno shoots but it's blocked away by the keeper.
