I have opted for switching this dross off and caving into the Mrs demands to watch Nativity instead.

JCA is in my son's age group (U15) He's doing well at the moment. Strong, powerful and very aggressive player.

Darren Motsi, Cristian Boothe are the 2 which are both on for Scholar at the mo. There's a couple of others but too early to tell. The 2 keepers and a couple from U15 to watch out for too.

Have you seen what we have in the younger ages? U14 have 2 very promising keeper prospects. Both very highly regarded in the academy. Looking forward to seeing their progress.

It was also against a mixture of our U13 and U14. 1st game back and half the squad only had 1 or 2 training sessions. They weren't great and we defo had more chances but our 2 strikers not there so we played without natural strikers. Joys of pre season.😂

My son is in the academy (he's in that video above) and we most definitely play out from the back and focus on trying to break the lines. Doesn't matter if we win or lose as long as they play the way the academy want them to. We defo don't just lump it forward. Costs us at times in tournaments when even other cat 1 academies play the long ball and nick a goal or 2.
