Ric Flair Posted 30 October 2020 Share Posted 30 October 2020 Looks like we played Wolves U23's yesterday and won 4-0, not sure if it was just a friendly? Not seen anything official about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our youth groups were really good last season U18s finished 4th U23s finished 2nd Now since we have loaned out a good chunk of our u23s and promoted some from the u18s to replace them, both squads seem to be really suffering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 31 October 2020 Share Posted 31 October 2020 Doesn't feel like there's many rough gems in the younger teams at the mo. I know the Pennant's and Taraves are highly regarded but they don't even seem to start that many games? Am I wrong? Surely it should be a real focus given the training ground investment and likely lack of transfer funds for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kian Pennant is 16 and in the U18's, would be good to see him push for the U23's in the next year. Terell is being completely wasted aged 18 and flitting between the U23's and then back in the U18's. He was the U18's standout player last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely due to the squad bubbles the club has in place, don't want players moving from the youth squads into the first team and risking Covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i'd hazard a guess this might be a locational pick rather than any sort of talent he's shown this season. Squad filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to covid, the US national team is only calling up players based in Europe. I'm not sure we even have another keeper. That said, it's a great opportunity for him. If he can prove himself in camp, he may warrant playing in the olympic team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other reasoning would be to get people capped. But both games are friendlies so Odunze for example could still qualify for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is what I assumed it would be about. To be fair it seems a lot on twitter are happier watching this selection than those in the MLS who would also normally be picked.

Collymore Posted 7 November 2020 Share Posted 7 November 2020 Just seeing our U18s are currently losing 4-1 to Chelsea at HT. We've played 6 and half games so far and conceded 29 goals and scored 9. That's like nearly averaging conceding 5 goals a game! I'm sorry but what the hell is going on there? How can it be so bad? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
