This Luca Williams-Barnett is some player. Is he the one that ripped us up against Spurs the other week?

Another one to add to the list 

Saudi in five years time could be the one !

u17 world cup is always fascinating because you'll have 50% that make it to a decent level, 40% in the football league and 10% who go part time or end up in a new career!

That group could win the lot, they'll have the U19 euros should they qualify next summer, and if they do well in that they'll go to the U20 World Cup in 2027. Ridiculous group.

@Ric Flair Which of the Heskey boys did you link/theorise  with us this summer? I like the look of Reigan for the U17s. 

Jaden I was told we were going to get on loan.

Just realised the u21s play tonight. Can’t imagine there’ll be any called up for Norwich away. 

Logan Briggs is in the first team training video just uploaded. Not sure if that’s a new thing or he’s been with them before 

 

Not seen him with the 1st team before, I'm sure he probably has but is good to see. He's been the best U21 player for us by far this season.

Ben Nelson called up for the England u21s

That Middlesbrough game came just at the right time to get him back in the squad

Would seem that way.

 

Considering we've made a switch to 3 at the back and he's our only natural wing back it would make sense that he's going to get his chance soon.

Nelson and now potentially Aluko involved.. Marti has hit the panic button me thinks

Most managers would after the Blackburn game. I think he's starting to see why fans have been desperate for the academy players to be involved, the senior players just dont cut it.

 

Better late than never is my opinion.

Hopefully once Evans is back we slowly start to see him in the squads. There is no way he can be worse than the current clowns.

I have slated him over and over again and it does feel far too late, but it is a good sign if he is actually starting to give opportunities to them

[Ryy]

2-1 Amartey

2-2

[Ryy]

3-2 Richards

[Lambert09]

[Lesta2014]

Both keepers from the u18s? Who’s back up if bausor injured? French or donogue? Ones on loan at Boston though?
