brookfox Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 Lets hope it sets the right tone for Leeds tonight! Academy Bash Blues Leicester City's under 18 side cruised to a 5-0 victory over Birmingham City at the Belvoir Drive training ground on Tuesday afternoon. The Foxes went into the game on the back of a superb 3-1 win away at Southampton last weekend. And that fine form continued against the Blues - with Eric Odhiambo (2), Max Gradel (2) and Peggy Lakonda grabbing the goals on the day. The victory moves City five points clear of Reading at the top of the Premier Academy Group B table, although the second place side have a game on hand. Walkers Youth Academy Manager Jon Rudkin said: "It was a very good performance from the lads - especially in front of goal. "We have got a lot of games coming up, and it was important that we carried on from our excellent form from Saturday at Southampton. "We have now got a tricky game coming up against Charlton on Saturday and that is a match that we are all very much looking forward to." City: Pentney, Magunda (Cox), Mattock (Rowe-Turner), Tejan-Sie, Lycett, Garner, Gradel, King, McKay, Odhiambo, Lakonda (Howard).
Joe. Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 Andy King didn't score. Right that's it, he's crap. <_<
The People's Hero Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 Yeah but Peggy Lakonda is the best finisher in Europe right now.
MBK Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 We do have something good down there at the moment. Gradel twice again must make a mark.
BigmanLee Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 Would have been more if it had not been for my flag
BigmanLee Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 Peggy Lakonda? He's a new one. Any info on him? Had the hump for being taken off....

Bluefoxtim Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 KELLY HAS to introduce some of these guys into the first team once our survival is confirmed. I have a feeling they won't get a look in and be released on a free like so many others
Babylon Posted 13 March 2007 Posted 13 March 2007 I have a feeling they won't get a look in and be released on a free like so many others And find their level by playing for a conference team.
Thracian Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 Andy King didn't score. Right that's it, he's crap. <_< I wonder how many of the five he made. And I'll be interested to see this Peggy Lakonda. First game for the Academy U18's as far as I'm aware and a goal from left-wing. Ryan Beswick usually plays there and is an effective player. Don't know whether he's injured or if Lakonda was considered good enough anyway, in which case he must be quite promising.

Will feature on Saturday against Charlton then a decision will have to be made. Looked good on the left and put some dangerous balls in to the box.
The People's Hero Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 What's the deal if we then want him? Do we have to buy him? How does it work at youth level?
Thracian Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 And find their level by playing for a conference team. I never get the feeling youi're the biggest believer in developing our own players.
Thracian Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 All jokes aside, an average of 3 per game over that many games is very impresive. The opposition are either rubbish, or King, Gradel et al are in fact the second coming! Even if they scored 10 goals a game there's people on here wouldn't have a good word to say for them.
BigmanLee Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 What's the deal if we then want him? Do we have to buy him? How does it work at youth level? I'll ask JR on Saturday. I'm on the line again
Manwell Pablo Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 What's the deal if we then want him? Do we have to buy him? How does it work at youth level? We don't have to buy him if Arsenal were keen on keeping him we wouldn't be on a one weeks trial at Leicester, their probabley helping him find a new club like we are with Lycett.
