Dowman is supposedly going to better than nwanieri 

with lewis-skelley as well that’s hale end really delivering

and they lost a good 16 y o to yanited last summer  

I was at hale end earlier this week

apparently Lewis-skelley’s younger brother (he’s 13 or 14) is rated more highly than him at the same age …… be interesting to see if he can carry that burden over the next few years with his brother being so high profile and no doubt raising the family’s financial status.

Looks like Cartwright, Braybrooke, Evans, Aluko, Jospeh and Golding all in training this week

Given how the majority of our cms will be cleared out, you’ve got to imagine theres a huge opportunity for Cartwright, braybrooke or Golding.  It’ll be interesting out of the 3 of them who is highest on the pecking order. 
 

skipp is limited technically so you’d imagine the most technical of the bunch (and physically ready) will be the one who gets an opportunity in preseason

I’ve always liked the look of Cartwright in the limited times I’ve seen him. Doesn’t really get mentioned a lot so maybe a reason. 
 

He really impressed me when they played Notts County in the EFL trophy.

well if you look back at kdh he didn’t stand out either. players that aren’t flare often don’t, but it doesn’t mean they won’t make it. 

 

Until they take a loan you really can’t judge them.  look at braybrooke, i expected him to be ready for the first team but he struggled to make an impact in scotland.

I remember never being that impressed with KDH for the u21s

 

Braybrooke has so much technical ability that you feel it’ll only be his size that holds him back

Dewsbury Hall didn't stand out much in the lower age groups but he was very good for the U21s in the year before he went out on loan.

Hoping Monga & Evans are on the Bench for Liverpool and the last few games of the season but I’d play them both and a couple others from the start get that hungry youth in the side show the squad and fans the future of this club

Our Under-18s side ended with three draws from their final four games at the Generation adidas Cup in Florida.
City’s Under-18s competed in the Generation adidas Cup last week
The Foxes youngsters played seven matches at the tournament
Adam Barradell’s team concluded the competition with back-to-back draws
U18 Premier League South duties return this weekend for Leicester
Spending over a week in the Sunshine state, there were valuable experiences in the heat of Bradenton for the young Foxes, taking part in a tournament which included 80 teams from 14 different countries, with Orlando City SC eventually crowned champions, defeating Colorado Rapids in the Championship Final.
The second half of the competition following the group stage - which saw City place third in Group A, behind New York Red Bulls and Minnesota United, but ahead of Vancouver Whitecaps – began with a last-16 play-off match against Charlotte FC at IMG Academy Field last Wednesday, to decide who would progress into the Premier phase.
 

The Foxes youngsters played seven matches across the tournament.
A goalless draw in normal time forced a shootout in which the MLS side claimed a 3-1 success. The result moved Leicester into the Showcase phase, firstly losing 2-1 to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Recovering from that disappointment, the side coached by Adam Barradell held D.C. United to a 0-0 draw two days later, though it led to a 4-3 victory on penalties for the Washington-based outfit.
The tournament concluded for our youngsters with a six-goal thriller against St. Louis City SC on Sunday afternoon, drawing 3-3 to end on a positive note, and place 20th in the overall standings.
City will now return home for the remainder of the U18 Premier League South season, resuming with a home fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, facing the Lilywhites at LCFC Training Ground this Saturday (11:30am BST kick-off).
