Just checked Southampton and Leeds and they aren't much better than us this season in loaning out academy players.

Having a microscope on your own club and thinking everything is rubbish compared to other clubs is pretty standard, and every fan does it.

Interesting. Are you saying this is what happens at Leicester City or what should happen if things are done properly?

All big clubs, inc LCFC.

sweet really hope he's involved in the first team soon

[themightyfin]

2-0 H-T

 

Marcel and Silko Thomas with the goals. 

[AjcW]

Good stuff. Anyone know why this was a “sell out” so soon after going on sale? Mr Beckham hasn’t kicked a ball for them since we last played them in November

[Micky]

Where are the updates?

[coolhandfox]

Every cloud has a silver lining, the Sensi debacle means the possibility of some first team meets for Alves.

Came in to make a joke about it being great so see Kevin Lisbie still banging in the goals and it's been ruined. 

[Ric Flair]

Best news of the last few days this is. Sounds like Alves and Briggs impressed in the 8 roles, as well as some other strong performances. 

[LVFox]

Great for Alves to get an hour, sounds like him and Briggs are the main talents in that side.

 

If he can consistently get those kind of minutes for the U21s for a couple of weeks and build up to 90s, he's got to be earmarking QPR at home at start of March as a first team opportunity.

[BroughtonFox]

I assume Cover played the inverted full back role considering he played there for the first team?

[Collymore]

Alves

Briggs

Cover 

Marcel

 

Looks like we have four very good options there for the near future. Make it five when Braybrooke comes back into the fold. 

 

I really thought Maswanhise would push on more than he has but suppose not every player is going to progress as expected.

Silko Thomas looks like he's got some talent too. Shame we couldn't get a couple loans this week but hopefully get down to a few more U21 games this season to watch them all.

[FOXYTALK]

Can see Alves featuring more when* we get promoted. Maybe the last 5-8x games. 

[Smooch85]

U18’s just beat Chelsea in the PL cup quarters. Went 1-0 down and 2 goals in 2 mins from j. Evans and ononaye! Proper decent result that

I have faith in Enzo looking to giving some of them minutes in first team.

 

Especially if we get promoted with 3 or 4 games to go.
