Development/Youth Squads 2021/2022 Thread

The new coaching is working.  

[moore_94]

Nelson off, Wormleighton on

 

Looked a bit ropey first half in the back 3 but much better in the back 4 second half

[lcfcsnow]

I'd have Braybrooke and Alves training with the first team permanently and on the bench for the first team, bring them on when we can, they definitely don't need more U23 football after this season.

[moore_94]

Full Time 2-1!

 

Good goal from Maswanhise and an own goal after a good save from the Everton keeper give us the win

 

Braybrooke had a great game, probably my MOTM, great partnership in the middle with Ewing

Just spotted that the U23s match tonight is being shown via Everton's youtube: 

 

 

[Leycestrian]

Thanks for the link, great stuff

[lcfcell]

tuned in for the last 20 minutes or so and have to say really impressed at how they were moving the ball around. Alves & Braybrooke are special

The improvement of the players who trained with the first team during the COVID crisis is remarkable.

Braybrooke is a bigger prospect than alves I reckon.

 

Hard to believe how small and young he is.

[mozartfox]

The coverage was excellent. LCFC tv???

Really really like Braybrooke and for some reason I thought he was nearly 20 but only 17! 

[Ric Flair]

That w some pretty mesmerising play in the 2nd half once we got the best players on and others in their comfortable positions.

 

Alves is just brilliant fun. A tad greedier tonight than usual but just watch how he can twist and turn, he's going to be the main man.

 

Braybrooke yet again ran the show with Ewing looking strong too, Wanya Marca showing just how dynamic a midfielder he is. 

 

A player who probably won't stand out at first glance but someone I think might well be another to make it is Wormleighton. He's been converted from a winger to a right back / wing back and I love his simplicity but ability to defend and attack.

Wanya marcal looks like a player too.

It really is. Brunt looks so strong and quicker now as well.

He’s the blond Kanté, is Braybrooke. Alvez needs to start a few more games for the u23s but it’s only a matter of time. Can’t wait to See Bray and Alvez in the first team. Madivadua and Maswanhise look very promising too

[ALC Fox]

I have to say, all this talk of an overhaul in the other thread, it seems we may have some of the answers here already. I just hope they get chances, and take them!

I think it was actually a good thing with how kind of greedy Alves was tonight

 

Stopped them having a chance to try and put together any form of rhythm for the last 20 minutes or so because any attack we had often ended with him winning a free kick

 

At this age I would just let him do what he likes, no doubt once he starts playing more senior football and gets a bollocking off his team mates / manager once or twice for being greedy he will start playing a lot more 1-2s rather than going for it himself

 

Just cannot believe he is only 16

Seems like all of a sudden we have quite a few exciting prospects coming through

....Braybrooke gets better as the game goes on, come the back end of games he can find the spaces and utilise the gaps which have opened up!!!

You do notice his lack of physicality in the middle, but that never stops him from winning the ball back when he has lost it. Alves looking hard to contain, at one moment the Everton backline had 5 men crowding him with not a single Leicester player in sight.

  It will be interesting when teams get to read him and see how he adapts, but at the moment he stands out and you can just give him the ball and take a break, he always looks after it.

Think Braybrooke & Alves will follow the same route as Luke Thomas & go straight into the first team squad next season instead of leaving on loan. They’re both incredible! 

 

[Lambert09]

Comfortably beat randers and some of these lads might get a chance to play in Denmark 

[Chelmofox]

Enjoyed that 2nd half. Loved watching them close the game out, almost stress free  . Commentators didn't know what to make of Alves.

Snodin may be a bit old school but he had braybrooke’s number after the first five minutes.

.....I think Braybrooke definitely needs to go out on loan, he just needs to build up more physicality and stop getting turned so easily in the middle!!!

[Foxes96]

Be interesting to see who goes out on loan in the summer. Reckon Madivadua, Maswanise, Braybrooke and Nelson are probably all ready for a loan. Same with leshabela, and Brunt if he’s going to make it at this level. 

 

Reckon they’ll probably want to keep Alves in the u23’s/ training with the firsts for another season at least.
