lgfualol Posted 23 March 2015 Share Posted 23 March 2015 I think he is trying to say that as some first team players are in the development squad the U21s get less development. Thanks. Sentences are difficult for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperEadem Posted 23 March 2015 Share Posted 23 March 2015 McCourt seems to be really stepping up and turning it on in the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonFox Posted 24 March 2015 Share Posted 24 March 2015 I'm liking the look of Dodoo as well. Killed that ball really nicely (0:48) and seems to have some pace and trickery. Shame his defending was off for their goal, despite DD telling him to mark up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxUK Posted 25 March 2015 Share Posted 25 March 2015 Some well worked plays there, DD read that break away perfectly - starting out in our box behind 4 Spurs players, and outsmarted them all, very good. As I stated above, the Spurs team was mostly made up of U18s, their Dev squad is usually very good. This win puts us 3rd in the table, 3 points behind Manchester United with a game in hand - can we do it? We're also playing Everton in the Dev Squad International Cup QF, if we win we'll have either of Chelsea, Man City, Celtic, Porto, or Bilbao - date still hasn't been set, we're actually behind schedule, the SFs are supposed to be in March.

FoxSince88 Posted 25 March 2015 Share Posted 25 March 2015 His defending was off because Brandon fox wS playing left back and was off the pitch injured at the time of there goal so doodoo should of been filling in, he hasnt got the attributes needed to defend them situations.

RedSoxUK Posted 25 March 2015 Share Posted 25 March 2015 I can't believe our academy is on par with those names... We've already beat Chelsea, Manchester City, and i'm sure we can compete vs Celtic / Porto / Bilbao It does make you wonder whether some of our Dev Squad are potential superstars, or just playing very poor Dev Squads of really good teams. If we're beating Man C / Chelsea, something's not right. Great to see the squad playing well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be worth finding out of this is true though, would kind of make us as one of 'the most likely academy to make it as a professional footballer'. Could attract better players because of it. - I think our academy coaches / directors deserve some huge credit (Along with investment from the owners and Nigel's stance on building the U21 team) for getting that Category One status in 2013, and maintaining a competitive U21 and U18 squad - think it's something we should all as Leicester City fans be proud of having.

Thanks, wasn't clear from the highlights! He is definitely a forward, that's for sure. Probably could play of the left of a 433 well. Not sure how good his finishing is to play in the middle and seems to have been pushed out wide this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodoo I think has a chance like Hopper to enter the 1st team in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea U21s had Chalobah, Todd Kane, Bamford, Lewis Baker, McEcharan in their side instead of out on loan they'd most likely beat us comfortably. So although we are doing well in the Youth Cup and that European League it doesn't tell the whole story. Still well done to the academy, we're certainly moving in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxSince88 Posted 25 March 2015 Share Posted 25 March 2015 Brandon fox was stretchered off with what looked like a bad leg injury, so hope he recovers well. Out of the players on show on Monday I think big stank up top has a chance of being a very good player, always seems to make the right decision. Was impressed with keiran Kennedy at CB also, makes a hell of a lot of interceptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
