Got tickets for the Derby game. It’s my first time going to Seagrave, is there anything that’s useful to know before attending? 

Might not be useful at all... but if you're coming from north of seagrave (Notts or further)... come off at six hills and go the back B roads to avoid the death crossing on the A46 lol

So there’s the facility to get a world class hot dog, pet a newt, and a near death experience…… I take it the club aren’t to the point of defying human rights, and offer drinks and a pot to piss in?

Leicester academy star Louis Page called up to England under-17s
Louis Page only celebrated his 16th birthday in October, but he’s already a regular for Leicester’s reserve side.

Page is regarded as one of England’s best talents for his age group having impressed from midfield in the Premier League 2.


The left-footed teenager has registered three goal involvements this season and his form has just earned another call-up to England’s under-17s.

Page will take on the Netherlands across two games later this month in Portugal.

Leicester City have potential for golden generation as midfielder gets England call
It's not just Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans coming through the ranks, with one of their team-mates from last season's Under-16 Premier League Cup involved with England Under-17s

While all the focus is on Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans, another member of Leicester City’s Under-16 Premier League Cup winning side is making strides too.

Central midfielder Louis Page, who played alongside Monga and Evans in the final against Manchester City last May, has been called up to England’s Under-17s.

Page has been named in a 23-man squad for two fixtures against the Netherlands to be played in Portugal next week.

 

While he made a couple of appearances at the level last November, this month’s games will be big opportunities for Page to continue to show he deserves to be in the squad ahead of some key fixtures in March.

Next month, England face Israel, Slovenia, and Northern Ireland in a trio of matches that can earn them qualification to the summer’s European Championships and the Under-17 World Cup at the end of the year.

Like Monga and Evans, Page has jumped up the ranks in City’s academy, despite only being 16 years of age.

He’s now becoming a regular for the club’s Under-21s and has played in seven of their last eight fixtures in Premier League 2, scoring in a 5-1 thrashing of Norwich last time out.

A midfield all-rounder, Page is keen to intercept and get stuck in, but can then move the ball into attack, carrying it well with his rangy stride and with the ability to pick out passes.

That win over Norwich was the Under-21s’ first victory in six in Premier League 2 and moved them up to 15th, back into the play-off spots.

The top 16 from the 26-team league will enter an end-of-season play-offs to decide the division’s champion. The format is in its second year with City missing out last season after finishing the regular campaign in 20th spot.

Wonder why the other two aren’t being called up?

Guessing they've moved up to U18's?

 

These U17 games are next week, next round of U19/U18 etc are mid March.

Actually thinking of it, they could easily both be in U19's or Elite Dev squad, was rumoured England are keen on both so might be fast tracking them?

Monga is England U16s, Evans is a strange one. One of the best performing 16 year olds at PL2 level and hasn't had an England call up all year. Has previously been in England youth squads though.

Lets wait and see, U17 squad is an outlier, the others don't get announced until end of month.

A brace for Jake Evans. I think we might have one here. 

Arguably one of the best, if not the best performing 16 year old in the PL2 this season. Phenomenal.
