Ric Flair Posted 14 August 2018 Share Posted 14 August 2018 1 hour ago, MC Prussian said: Not saying they all will or should be playing at once, just that we seem to have a decent amount of talented youth teamers for pretty much all positions - also with Johansson at GK. Yeah there's some decent kids coming through, I still think there's too much recruitment of 17-21 year olds from other academies who've been released rather than signing elite youngsters or developing our own who've come up the ranks and it's these that may get less of a chance due to bringing in the 17-21 year olds to make our U23 team more competitive short term. When we get this new training complex I'd like to think in an ideal world we have an academy coaching and recruitment setup to match such excellence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 14 August 2018 Share Posted 14 August 2018 8 hours ago, davieG said: There's nothing wrong with youth players having a winning attitude but it's up to the coaches to ensure that it is not at the expense of a rounded + specialist development. Yeah I agree with that and I'm not saying that winning's bad, that would be mental, but that tells me that talent is likely to stagnate under him. Youth football should be very expressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 17 August 2018 Share Posted 17 August 2018 Surprised Eppiah isn't in the squad so far, must be injured again. Also we spent a few million on Callum Wright from Blackburn who had got near their first team and he's nowhere to be seen in our U23's, very odd.

Eppiah could easily have made it at this level without injuries. Is that Meite still in the U18's? We are very light on strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 17 August 2018 Share Posted 17 August 2018 Ended the half much better after Reading were giving us the run around. Has anyone got the team list and numbers. There's a few players out there I don't know that look useful. I can see why Tee is so highly rated, only looks about 17 but is very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l444ry Posted 17 August 2018 Share Posted 17 August 2018 Feel sorry for Beaglehole. Very good coach/manager. Having to shoehorn players into a 4-2-3-1 system with Loft up front just to suit Puel must drive him mad. Clearly not what he'd play given a choice. Shite system in my opinion and doesn't suit the Senior side either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
