Weller in Tights Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 First half very decent played some good stuff and kept the ball well but Benfica were woeful Second half shocking as Benfica upped their game and we didn't have a kick for the vast majority of the half Doubt any of those that played tonight ( except Hamer ) will be any where near the first team squad unless we have a spate of injuries Some ran around a lot but struggle technically whilst others have loads of ability but simply don't show the level of commitment NP would be looking for Beat Benfica 2-0 and still not satisfied but that's how I saw it Agreed, big difference between the first and second half. Thought Barmby looked good though, is he one that you think doesn't show the commitment that NP requires?
lgfualol Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 He is 18. Not so amazing but still looks a player If he was on my fifa team, he'd have been sold off for not getting in the first team by now. 18 is ancient.
benpicko Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 I looked and James Pearson hasn't even been in the Wrexham squad for the past two games Injured apparently
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Barmby stand out Player for me, impressed with elder McCourt Lawrence too! Hamer made some decent saves too! Played some good stuff at times and was enjoyable to watch! Start putting them through to first team now We can't just put all our reserves / kids into the first team in the hope it'll solve anything. I thought McCourt, Lawrence and Barmby played really well first half but I don't think throwing them into the matchday squads would suddenly provide a change in our fortunes. Was Upson taken off purely because it was our intention to give him 45 or has he picked up another niggle?
LAprice_ Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Very impressed with Tom Hopper. He covered nearly every blade of grass out there. He takes the whole defending from the front mentality a bit too seriously. In fact, he finished the game playing at centre-half. Seriously though, immensely impressive performance. Interesting to note that he kept the captain's armband despite the return of Alie Sesay. He also got stuck in and wasn't afraid to run with the ball. Shout out to everybody's favourite Lithuanian international, Stankevičius, he dominated in the air. I'm sure he won every header he went up for.
ealingfox Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Time we gave Beaglehole a run in the first team imo. Big Nige would never be able to turn over Schalke and Benfica and keep 2 clean sheets in the process.

Barmby was the main man tonight.

I also think Michael Cain is the one to watch for, impressed with him when I've seen him.
J.Lisemore Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Quite refreshing looking at our youth these days. Barmby, Chilwell and Lawrence looked very good. To think we nicked Barmby on a free aswell?, excellent business really.
ramadaone Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Agreed, big difference between the first and second half. Thought Barmby looked good though, is he one that you think doesn't show the commitment that NP requires? Correct - great going forward but as Knocky and Mahrez have found it's not enough for NP to only do it in one directionUnlike previous years at least the lads are getting proper competitive football where hopefully they can learn from their mistakes and force there way into the first team. Arguably the 16's and 18's are stronger than the 21's They both play Chelsea on Sat Dec 6th in top of the table clash at home and with no game for the first team there should be a few down at Belvoir Drive
LCFC FOX Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Deep down I bet the youngsters hope we get relegated. That way they are more likely to break through in the championship
lgfualol Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Deep down I bet the youngsters hope we get relegated. That way they are more likely to break through in the championship Considering there's a few on loan in the conference, I bet they hope we get relegated to league 2 so they can break in.
jamesmilner Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 tom lawrence is talking with Rotherham with a view to a loan deal .
davieG Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 Development Squad midfielder Adam Dawson has re-joined Conference side Nuneaton Town on a one-month loan deal. The 22-year-old wide man first headed to Liberty Way back in October, where a productive five-game spell saw him score twice. He joins two of his current City team-mates at Nuneaton – strikers Simonas Stankevicius and Marcel Barrington – both of whom joined the side on two-month loans. Dawson joined the Foxes at the start of the 2013/14 campaign and proved to be highly effective from the flanks as the team stormed to a sixth-placed finish in the league. The former Bury and Liverpool youngster will hope to be involved as second-bottom Nuneaton face Chester at home on Saturday.

Lesta2014 Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 He's been quite vocal on twitter his annoyance lately!
Webbo Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 If he's 22 and the best he can do is Nuneaton you have to wonder if he's going to make it here.
Russell sprout Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 It's a shame that with how well the development do and the youth team,that we don't see any progress onto the first team,Harry panayoutu hasn't started a game since his goal scoring debut at Leeds over 2 seasons ago,.
lgfualol Posted 29 November 2014 Posted 29 November 2014 Barrington scored for Nuneaton which lead to a 3-2 win. Cool.
Smiffy Fox Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 U21's take on Leeds tomorrow night at Nuneaton. Is it free admission with your season ticket?
Bert Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 This is being streamed live on the club's YouTube channel.
Webbo Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 This is being streamed live on the club's YouTube channel. What time's kick off?
TheMightySystem Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 What time's kick off? live on youtube at 6:45
Babylon Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 Are both teams wearing Leicester kits? Or do Leeds have a horrid one as well?
Dan Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 Can barely be arsed. Those conditions will make it a dreadful game.
