Babylon Posted 26 January 2015 Share Posted 26 January 2015 Those three are genuine prospects, playing under 21 football at their age. Probably only getting a look in due to the number of u21's we've loaned out recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 26 January 2015 Share Posted 26 January 2015 Captain James Pearson, it really is jobs for the boys I don't really see how the first team manager can influence the choice of captain for the Under 21s. And whether it's really that big of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 27 January 2015 Share Posted 27 January 2015 Just an observation, by all accounts Chilwell is very highly thought of but at 18 shouldn't he already be playing U21/reserve team football instead of just breaking into the side? Hope we're not holding him back, given his position there can't be any young left backs at the club better than him? Mattock was a regular in our side in the championship at 17..

And now he's a benchwarmer for Sheff. Weds. Perhaps we pushed him in too quickly? Schlupp only broke into the team when he was 18, wasnt Moore slightly older as well?

Finnaldo Posted 27 January 2015 Share Posted 27 January 2015 True they were both going out on loan to league clubs though at 18. Every player is different, I'd be having concerns if they still weren't out on loan by 20/21 but as it stands it doesn't seem too much of a concern.

If you are at the England Under 19s, there's about three players in the last squad what have experienced league football which tells us what's happening is nothing unusual.

davieG Posted 2 February 2015 Share Posted 2 February 2015 A double from Harry Panayiotou helped Leicester City’s Development Squad come from two goals down to beat Manchester City 3-2 in the Premier League International Cup on Monday. Played at Man City’s new Academy Stadium, goals from Jose Angel Pozo and Olivier Ntcham put the Manchester club into a 2-0 lead, but Panayiotou struck twice either side of a Simonas Stankevicius goal to complete the sensational turnaround. The result meant City finish top of Group C in the competition after three wins from three, and will now face either Celtic, Everton, Sunderland or Villareal in the quarter-finals, with the fate of that group yet to be decided. The Foxes stormed to a 6-2 Barclays U21 Premier League win over Patrick Vieira’s side at King Power Stadium back in October, and went into the tie on the back of a battling goalless league draw at Tottenham Hotspur last time out. City sat second in Group C of the competition going into the clash after beating both Schalke and Benfica, while the Citizens topped the group on greater goal difference, having also emerged victorious against the German and Portuguese outfits. In fine form after three wins from their last four games, the hosts opened the scoring after just five minutes. Winger Adam Drury burst down the right wing and delivered a low cross into the six-yard box which Pozo slotted in past Jonny Maddison, who looked unfortunate to concede after getting a glove to the ball. A combination of Maddison and Joe Davis prevented the Vieira’s men from doubling their lead on 14 minutes. City’s shot-stopper parried Pozo’s 20-yard strike before Davis put in a fine last-ditch challenge on Jordy Hiwula to stopped the No.11 from firing in the rebound. Man City’s second goal came mid-way through the first half. Ntcham broke the Foxes’ offside trap and produced a cool finish for his side’s second of the game. But City responded well, and got themselves back into the game with 10 minutes of the first period to play. Jak McCourt delivered a corner to defender Davis, who hooked the ball into the path of Panayiotou. The St. Kitts and Nevis international produced a neat flick past goalkeeper Ian Lawlor to halve the deficit. Panayiotou went close again a minute later, hammering a half-volley just over the bar, before Alie Sesay’s long-range strike flew wide – City right back in the tie after going two goals down. Joe Dodoo did well to beat two defenders down the right flank just before half-time, but the attacker’s low cross was cut out at the front post by Ellis Plummer – 2-1 to the Citizens at the break. Buoyed by their late first half rally, it took just one minute of the second half for the Foxes to draw level. Dodoo curled a pin-point cross into Lithuania international Stankevicius, who powered a header past Lawlor to make it 2-2. Half-time substitute Louis Rowley then caused mayhem in the opposition box, and after pinching the ball from the feet of ‘keeper Lawlor, Panayiotou was on hand to stab the ball into the net for his second of the game on 53 minutes. Young left-back Ben Chilwell did well just after the hour mark to block Drury’s low drive, before Elliott Moore stole the ball off Jack Byrne as the No.10 looked to pull the trigger. Panayiotou could have had his hat-trick at the death, but couldn’t generate the desired power to beat Lawlor, and City saw out the remaining few minutes to seal the victory. With top spot in Group C secured, Beaglehole’s youngsters will now turn their attentions to their U21 Premier League clash with Norwich at Belvoir Drive on Monday 9 February.

I'd be more concerned if he was faultless, he's a perfect fit. Get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
