U18 & U23 news and info...

[lets all have a disco]

The u21 squad was one of the strongest and most exciting I have seen in the last couple of games. Good group in the u18's and u16's as well by all accounts. We certainly seem to have some exciting attacking players coming through the ranks in the Academy squads at present. Plenty of pace and skill.

Yes agree....it settles down this time of year....and you see the results come....and some players kick on......I'm normally stuck up for them October and November when the team changes every week and results are up and down, and some start moaning....

You can really look at the table with this new format cause everybody is playing different teams.....Man city are bottom and they are always top....I notice Spurs are top and they would have been relegated from league 1 had the both league not merged....

A mention for Marvin Kaleta as well. He has established himself in the u21's now and has been excellent at right back. Very attacking and two assists last night. One to keep an eye on. We got him from Liverpool academy when he was 15 I think.

Ty Barnett also apparently impressed last night. He has a load of ability. His free kick last night was excellent and unlucky not to go in but for an excellent save.

Kaleta was from man city I think......he benefitted the most from being chucked in earlier than expected in October..... struggle a bit at first but got better and better with every game....was a good learning curve for him.....

The two standouts for me last night, JOS.. I wasn't expecting that level of performance from Marvin Kaleta, but he dominated that right flank going forward. He wasn't over-tested defensively, but he's certainly strong in the tackle and positionally sound.

Ty Barnett looked so comfortable on the ball, and appeared to be less wasteful than Chirewa when passing forwards, although Chirewa did work well in tandem with Kaleta.

Overall a very pleasing team performance IMV.

Seem to be on a good run of producing RBs. Dexter, Kaleta and Wes Okoduwa is meant to be the best of the lot.

He’s 14 and will go into the u16s, so don’t get too excited just yet

On a related note, Wes featured for England u16s today in their 3-1 win over Saudi Arabia

Shahar was a right back as well wasn't he? I wonder if they were happy to let him go for a fee because we have too many!

He was a right back yes

Clearly having options helps, however I’m sure we’d have preferred to keep Leo given his promise

It does make you wonder though. Never a bad thing having multiple promising right backs when our current right back is 30 now…

I enjoyed the intimacy of that video - the audio was superbly done, as if all the players were wearing lav mics.

 

[JOSWolf]

Interesting video of the u21 game against the ****. Chirewa seems a vocal character in the dressing room. Good to see.

A new club for Matheson, sad to see how his career is shaping up since his injuries.

Hi giant, is this a legit link as saying unsecure on my phone and only 2 t’s in twiter?

Yep sorry, I got in the habit early on of changing the x.com to twitter.com and just mistyped twitter (x.com didn’t always seem to display but twitter.com ones did) - seems that might not be an issue anymore, have corrected the link

Apologies

Mane on the bench is Mateus Mane from Rochdale. Winger/forward, 16

Assume we’ve signed him as opposed to a trial

 

[Loojay]

1 up already. Dani Angel. He scores for fun

Goal machine that boy

Any chance he gets moved up an age group? Seems too easy for him.

Is Edozie related to the Saints guy ?

He was at Saints last week, also made the bench for Dale a couple of weeks ago

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Brother I think, I rate the guy at Saints, I think he is one of a few wide forwards who are standing out in the Champ along with Rowe, Whittaker, Clarke, all of them will probably be moving to the Prem this summer

 

[SuperGran]

1-1

Yep, younger brother

And here lies a problem as Chiwome is also eligible for u18s but playing above. You move Angel up and Chiwome, Holman and Angel are limiting each others minutes

He’s very raw, I’d leave him where he is for now, with a view to filling in if required

 

[SuperGran]

Finished 1-1

 

[giantwolf]

Finished 1-1

Mane got 31 mins and Dani Angel is now the top scorer for the u18s with 6 moving above Fraser Harper on 5

Yes a real shame. He came to us highly regarded.

 

[giantwolf]

The u16s beat Forest 2-1 and Emilio Ballard-Matthews made his comeback after 3 months out injured with an ankle injury.
