Ric Flair Posted 21 December 2019 Posted 21 December 2019 Lost 4-3, our U18's have been involved in some mad games this season. I've been to a few this year and are always entertaining but defensively we are often ripped apart. Is Fitzhugh injured? @themightyfin
FoxesHub Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Scotland U17 international Ben Nelson has been offered a two-year scholarship with the club. Almost certain he’ll sign. Good crop of players coming through once again at U16 level. More info: https://foxeshub.com/ben-nelson-awarded-two-year-scholarship/ 3
Collymore Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 U23s are playing Wolves at 7pm tonight which of course will be streamed. I wonder if the line up with indicate anybody making it into the match squad tomorrow v Wigan?
moore_94 Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Can’t really see anyone of note missing from that line up Good to see Matty and surprisingly Kapustka starting

davieG Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 'I'm not so big on results' – Brendan Rodgers' verdict on Leicester City's Under-23s and potential loans Leicester City's development squad are looking for a 10th victory in 11 games when they host Wolves on Friday night ByJordan Blackwell 12:40, 3 JAN 2020 Leicester City Under-23s kick off the new year on Friday night looking for a 10th win in 11 games. But first-team manager Brendan Rodgers says he’s “not so big on the results” of the development squad, as his focus is on their improvement. City’s fourth-placed Under-23s are three points off the top spot in Premier League 2 after a fine run of results at the end of 2019, and they will hope to begin 2020 with a bang when they host Wolves, a 7pm kick-off at Holmes Park. Rodgers believes that victories are great for confidence, they are not the be all and end all at youth level. “It’s not all about the winning,” he said last month. “For Under-23s, it’s about the development of players. “Winning is important and there are some talented boys in the squad and it’s nice for their confidence. “At Under-23s, it’s very difficult because you could be playing against a team of 17-year-olds. I’m not so big on the results, because every team could put out an older age group then. “It’s about winning, but it’s about development. But for the young players who are playing, they’ve had good results.” With City flying high in the Premier League, the jump from the development squad to the first team may be too big without a stepping stone in between. Rodgers believes a loan works for some players, but says some can progress straight through. “There’s a certain level you can go to in Under-23s football, especially if you’re an older player,” he said. “If you’re in the Under-23s at 22 or 23, it’s going to be difficult for you. “A lot of teams at that level might have 17 or 18-year-olds playing with the odd scattering of older players. “It’s about the individual need. Do they need a loan period out to get pressure and feel that? “It just depends, some may not need that, some might go from the youth right the way into the first team. It just depends on what the need of the player is. Some might need a loan period in the lower level to feel the pressure.” https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/im-not-big-results--3702681

davieG Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Just now, Collymore said: Imagine how Dean Hammond felt! Aye although i've no objection to older player playing for fitness purposes in fact I'd still prefer the old Reserves League where the young lads got to play with a few older players with their experiences being passed onto them. 1
