3-0 Fleetwood

2 of those have been very poor from our perspective. Still it’s quite funny when Fleetwood play Captain Pugwash when they score! 

[Collymore]

Marcel needs to do more and take some players on. Either that or play him more central. He doesn't look like a senior player. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

At least they’ve taken inspiration from last years first team, and have started to show some ambition at 3 down! 

[Collymore]

Fleetwood look shaky. If we could get next goal this would be a game!

Silko Thomas looks a threat every time he goes forward

4-0 Fleetwood

Embarrassing for Young. 

[GingerrrFox]

It’s becoming clear that Petty needs to move on. Player development is clearly the number 1 goal but the U23/U21 record underneath him is quite clearly not good enough and constant poor results has a detrimental impact on development as losing can become habitual.

Under 21s are out of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy following a 4-0 loss to Fleetwood meaning they can no longer qualify

Alves subbed at half time, apparently as planned says the commentators.

Was this to manage his fitness, post injury, or preparation for first team squad on Saturday?

There's no way he's ready for first team football just yet, as much as we'd love that. I'd much rather he gets a couple more games under his belt for match fitness, ready for the December and January run of games where there will be plenty of opportunities for him to play.

 

What do I know though? Maresca and the fitness team might think he's ready.

Only November,no need to rush…agree with you totally.

Fans desire getting ahead of itself.

The Leicester City Development Squad were beaten 1-0 by Brentford B on Friday evening in the final group stage match of the Premier League Cup.

 

A first-half goal from Valintino Adedokun was enough to secure the points for the hosts at Wheatsheaf Park in Staines, as the young Foxes were seen off in their final game Group G of the PL Cup, with attention now turning back to Premier League 2 action after their elimination.

 

City: Doherty; Cover (Joseph 31'), Nelson, Godsmark-Ford, Wilson-Brown; Raikhy; Richards, Cartwright (Hill 59'), Marçal, Pennant; Popov (Briggs 59').

 

Subs not used: Young, Grist.

He's done very well there so far. They are raving about him.

I had no issue with him going there - they have a strong record of giving 16/17 y o an opportunity. Man City is a different kettle of fish entirely (unless you’re rico Lewis)

How much compo did we get for him?

It was going to tribunal due to Liverpool's perceived derisory offers, and not seen anything announced yet.

[Holly B]

Tribunal still digesting all the info supplied by us but him being involved in their first team already surely won’t help their cause on keeping the compo as low as possible

So we’ll probably get two curly wurlies then ……

No

He had England involvement, trained with our first team and some evidence to suggest Liverpool didn’t exactly play by the rules so he won’t be cheap. If the last point is proved they could be in deep shite
