grumpy old git Posted 11 January 2017 Share Posted 11 January 2017 What the hell do you expect the U21 or U23 sides never play a proper league game every week so never develop that sharpness and cutting edge to their game that’s why few ever make it through to the first team.It was quite simply men against boys or if you like ego's against reality. At least this gives them a chance to play proper football and find out the hard way just how good they really are! I always thought that all Premiership sides should have a lower league side were they blood the most promising youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he have done any worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can broaden my knowledge then please feel free. As I say I don't follow the kids and as I understand it, they aren't doing well results wise this season anyway, are performances better than they suggest? Also why bring in a player from abroad if we have someone better? And if he is better why play hamer, he needs his contract paying up and moving on.

It's for the Academy which is U21s, On the LCFC site I think it implies U21s = Academy / U23 = Development Squad. Yet in his review of our involvement in it by Beaglehole you get this quote " Steve Beaglehole says the Leicester City Development Squad will take a “massive learning experience” from the 6-1 defeat by Cheltenham Town in the Checkatrade Trophy".

Agree there, I don't see what benefits it has, other than maybe our young players learning how far away they are from making it as pro's at any level. Silly Format, Poor attendances, wouldn't be surprised if a few of these clubs had lost money staging these games. And if any of the big clubs had taken it seriously there's a chance you are doing smaller clubs out of a trip to a wembley final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume Posted 11 January 2017 Share Posted 11 January 2017 Worth noting that 4 of the goals came from bad goal keeping. Hamer should have stopped the long shot and shouldn't have been on the pitch with a dodgy eye. Two came from bad goal kicks and for the left foot volley the keeper's positioning was embarrassing...the guy had 1/3 of the goal to aim at!

They can't move Hamer on as no team he is capable of playing for will pay his wages. Conrad was a similar situation. 6K bonus if you get to sit on the bench, hardly going to rush off. Seen several games and looking at the highlights a couple of duff/ slips kicks resulted in goals. Not easy for a keeper to come off the bench behind a defence that looked poor. Other keeping performances have been good. Those with contracts get decent ones to keep them here, difficult for those to apply themselves and not behave like young lads with money do unless well managed. It is noticeable.

Guest MattP Posted 11 January 2017 Share Posted 11 January 2017 My word, that defending. As for the keeper, he can't seriously be on the books? Must be a mistake, he couldn't reach the half way line with his kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay him up if he's blocking younger players paths. Or send him on loan and cover wages surely better than playing him if we have a 19 and 18 year old who must be reasonably rated.

That was my impression too, he seemed to be pulling off several worldie saves every game judging from the club's (biased) Twitter. Maybe he wasn't quite mentally prepared to come on as a substitute part way through the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
