the club's Twitter loves to exaggerate stuff. I hate it when it's a senior team matchday and it's like 'VARDY!' and then goes on to explain a chance that wasn't even that close to scoring lol 

Was a good save in the first half though to be fair.

Hamza did well again. He's becoming a first team regular, and for his age, in the championship, it's fairly impressive. He has fairly good ratings on whoscored, too. Hopefully he continues as such for the rest of the season. We might see a twenty year old defensive midfielder with a season's championship experience for us on the bench next season.

Are the poor results across all age groups starting to concern anyone else? We're supposed to be cat. 1, and all of our youth teams are near the bottom of the table.

 

I've not seen much of them this season, but previously the football has also been poor, favouring grinding out results over technical development- has there been a change in approach? 

 

On the plus side, I've seen a bit of Choudhury this season, and apart from a couple of wayward passes and the odd defensive lapse he looks pretty good. Callum Elder also sounds like he's doing okay for a Brentford side who are flying.

Callum Elder has picked up quite a serious sounding knee injury and could be out for a while.

A real shame because he was going really well in the championship and looks a good prospect.

New Head of the Academy due to be announced very soon

 

this will tell you how serious the owners are about turning the Academy around as it is a right mess at the minute

Depends how far you go back when we had the likes of Gradel in there we played some decent attacking football however when I've  seen them lately, admittedly on tv they just  seem to be playing goofball probably trying to emulate the 1st team but without someone like mahrez to add some skill to the team it's very basic, boring and seemingly not very successful. I'd like to know what the overall club strategy is.

Interesting @ramadaone  Any indication of their history? PL, European, International? 

I also think the mess is partly down to the number of competitions we're involved in and the general mess academy football is in across the UK. We also don't seem to have a style we've adopted across the academy which is potentially making it harder for players to transition between the games to ultimately get to the first team.

Excellent. Who is the current head, is it Rudkin or is he director?

 

Hope it is someone good and not a dinosaur.

Will be monitoring this. Very intrigued to see who it is. Hope it's someone of the Idiakez mould.

 

Speaking of Idiakez, hasn't he gone from Derby?

worked great for the kante twins last season, gerrimin

Doesn't kante have about 87 siblings anyway? All I'm saying is if we're looking for a replacement, why wander too far from the tree?

Ndwuku has gone a bit quiet the last 18 months or so, would love to know if he's still considered as highly rated as he was. About 3 years ago, Muzzy Izzet told me he was the best kid they'd ever seen down at Leicester which I thought was extraordinary.

Heard that it's gone to his head. Lost his place in the England squad too. Been on the bench recently in development games. Hopefully he turns it around and doesn't waste his talent.

3-1 now Ndwuku again and another stunner again.

Edit: Just going off twitter so it could just be a five yard tap in which would be amazing anyway due to the form of our youth this year.

 

We're a total embarrassment, Steve needs sacking, can't believe we are suppose to be a cat 1? Total Joke of a..........oh 3-1 you say?

The one that surprised me was Panayiotou. Outscored Rashford and was winning awards now on the bench at Barrow via Raith Rovers and being released. 

 

Who was the last player that came through the academy and we actually sold for any decent amount? Schlupp almost to West Brom in the summer, Chilwell nearly left but can't really think of who was before. Guess it shows progress

High praise indeed.

Just focussing on the Euro games. No interest yet in the league. :ph34r:

You'd understand if you met him. His ego can barely fit into a stadium
