davieG Posted 8 January 2008 Author Posted 8 January 2008 Nice of the OS to keep us posted, not even a team announcement - they really are utter garbage!!
onesize Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 The youth team hasnt played together all season. Bostock, Moses and Scannell have been on first team duty and Robinson has been out for quite a few weeks. I never expected us to do that well tonight to be honest
Milans Foxes Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 3-2 Leicester - another pen Come on City!! Where are you getting your scores by the way??
Fox You Forest Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 3-2 Leicester - another pen Cant wait to hear Thracian's description of the match and especially the Referee.
Manwell Pablo Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Full time Leicester 3-2 Palace :'( Cheers for that, out offical site it beyond a joke. Like the rest of our club......... bar the youth team.
The Stig Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Also Score on the BBC website are showing it on the vidiprinter.
onesize Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Apparently your winning penalty was a shocking decision aswell. Im not surprised, the standard of refereeing at that level is a shambles
Candidcamera Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Thanks for the updates... well done Leicester City Youth team.
The Stig Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Apparently your winning penalty was a shocking decision aswell. Im not surprised, the standard of refereeing at that level is a shambles No excuses, we're brilliant
Tevez Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Not sure who scored the first, Billy Kee (pen) and Chambo (pen) in 2nd half of extra time. MOTM was joint decision, Cobb, Rowe Turner and Mattock.
Thracian Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Of course I do. Own goal for the first from a Kee cross. Billy Kee penalty And an Ashley Chambers penalty. Terrific game. Lots of good football. Enough chances for an big score finish. Terrific saves by City goalkeeper Kevin O'Brien Chambers my MoM Standing ovation for the lads at the end. Report and player ratings to follow.
davieG Posted 8 January 2008 Author Posted 8 January 2008 OS Leicester City's academy side recorded their seventh consecutive victory as they progressed into the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday evening. An extra-time penalty from Ashley Chambers was enough to see off Crystal Palace as they ran out 3-2 winners. City found themselves a goal up inside ten minutes. Ashley Chambers played the ball into the path of Billy Kee who fired the ball across the six yard box only for defender Nathanial Clyne to turn the ball into his own net. Billy Kee should have doubled the lead moments later, but his low shot rebounded back off the post and away to safety. Joe Mattock returned to the academy line-up and almost found himself on the score-sheet; a neat pass from Ashley Chambers set-up the defender on the corner of the penalty area but his shot blazed over the crossbar. Palace leveled shortly after the break. Kevin O'Brien prevented the ball from going out for a corner, but Aaron Dalhouse managed to steal the ball from underneath the goalkeeper and set up Ashley Robinson to tap the ball into the net. Ashley Chambers produced a fine save from goalkeeper Keiron Thorpe on the hour as his free kick was parried away, but a tug on Lathanial Rowe-Turner's shirt from the resulting corner gave City an opportunity to restore their lead from the penalty spot. Billy Kee fired the ball past the Palace goalkeeper to put the Foxes 2-1 ahead. The visitors drew level again on 76 minutes when the referee awarded a penalty against Luke O'Neil who was adjudged to have fouled Ashley Robinson inside the area. The striker stepped to score his second and take the match into extra time. City were awarded the third penalty of the game ten minutes into extra-time when Lee Cox was bundled off the ball. Ashley Chambers dispatched the spot-kick and book a place in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup. Leicester City's academy side return to action on Saturday (12th) when they take on Aston Villa at the Belvoir Drive training ground. City: O'Brien, O'Neil (83 Howard), Cobb, Tuttle, Garner, Rowe-Turner, King, Cox, Kee (56 Burns), Chambers (105 Chamberlain), Mattock
Tommeh Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 Just got back - Good stuff from the young lads tonight. 1st time I've really seen them and I was very impressed, also an excellant result against which was a very strong Palace side. Thought Mattock was easily the best player on the pitch, class above tonight, played left mid and beat their right back every time. Just shows the how playing in a confident team can improve a player and also the gap between the youth and first team but if he played like that every game he'd easily solve our winger problems (they may have already been solved - havn't heard anything today thus far!) Kee and Chambers also formed a decent partnership up front, not sure why Kee was taken off but he always looked a threat and Ashley seemed to get better and better as the game went on. also Rowe - Turner was superb, dealt with most things thrown at him.
Tommeh Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 How likely is that? Seriously? Hahahaha, we did get told earlier he'd play, contacts mate, contacts. P.s Bostock - pants, don't know what all the fuss is about. £5m valuation my arse.
Joe. Posted 8 January 2008 Posted 8 January 2008 I still think a loan move to a League One side would do Mattock a lot of good. He's not quite ready for the Championship yet I don't think but when he puts in performances like he has supposedly done tonight, you know he's got something.
SamL Posted 9 January 2008 Posted 9 January 2008 Sounds like a good match, shame I missed it. Ashley Chambers At least it gives some of the lads off here something to smile about for a change. Good result.
Thracian Posted 9 January 2008 Posted 9 January 2008 Sounds like a good match, shame I missed it. Ashley Chambers At least it gives some of the lads off here something to smile about for a change. Good result. It won't seem so good when TPH has worked out the average age of the Palace side!
Jonbluefox9 Posted 9 January 2008 Posted 9 January 2008 It was a decent match last night. Can't remember any of our players having a particularly bad game and a few put in very good performances. Mattock showed that he's a class above in his own age group, just like he did when he was 16 in the under 18s. He should be playing at a higher level than that but not sure reserves is high enough and I wouldn't want to send him away from the club for too long. If we were to loan him out I'd make it a short loan deal, 3-4 months and only to a club where he's likely to be given starts. Preferably a club that is doing well but the chances of a successful club in a lower division loaning a 17 year old and putting him in their first team are slim. A loan deal like Odhiambo had at Southend would be pointless for Mattock imo. The under 18s don't play the same kind of football as they did last season but they still look a good unit who don't mind doing the dirty work to win matches. Lee Cox was still running his heart out at the end of the 2nd half of extra time to prevent a Palace attack. Good to see!
