ashby_fox Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 @OfficialFOXES: Ten to go and Brandon Fox almost wins it. Blockbuster from 25 yards crashes down off the bar, bounces on the line and out. What a hit! #fayc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 If they keep on with their progression it's only a matter of a few years till Johnson, Chilwell, Choudary, Fox, Barnes, Muskwe and King are knocking on the door of the first team.

Foxes1 Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 Just got back we didn't play to badly Chilwell had a good game and the right back looked very strong. Overall I think we just about deserved the win. What did impress me was the quality of delivery from corners Matty james and Riyad should go and watch them they may learn something, both teams hit the woodwork and the winning goal came from a howler by the Brum goalkeeper but they all count anyway.

steveherbe Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 How many went? 1696, bloody poor turnout. If you live in Leicestershire and didnt go, you should be ashamed. Bet you'll all be clamouring for tickets for the final, bloody Plastics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 Interesting to see some of the lads that will hopefully be coming through in the next few years. I didn't know much about the current crop before tonight other than that I'd heard Choudhury, Chilwell and Ndukwu were the ones to watch. I tried not to look at names until half time so that I was starting from a fairly uninfluenced perspective and could just judge what I saw. For me, the standouts were undoubtedly Ndukwu, Choudhury and Kipre. Ndukwu - looks like he can beat a man and good technically. If I'm right in thinking that he's a couple of years below this age group then we could have a real player on our hands. Choudhury - hard not to notice with that hair but strikes the ball nicely and there were a couple of moments where he showed real class and did something small that marked him out as having a bit extra. Kipre - this lad was a beast! Dominated in the air, played accurate and firm passes and had so much composure. I was waiting to see if he had pace to go with it all but he was never really stretched. If he does then he's got a great chance. I did notice him stretching a lot, hopefully he's got a body that can withstand the rigours of professional football. Leicester looked by far the better team, both in terms of the areas in which the game was played and quality on the ball. You wouldn't say that they didn't deserve to win but got very fortunate with the goal and with the fact that Birmingham could well have had a penalty (Elliott Moore should probably start thinking about what he's going to do after football). The team tried to play the right way and had a couple in the middle of the park (Miles and Barnes) who were very tidy players but the kind you have to hope can cope physically in adult football - Barnes probably looked the better of the two and scored a nice goal. Any shouts of Chilwell being anywhere near the first team on the basis of tonight look outrageous (granted it was a one off game). As with any academy side, the vast majority will fade out of the game (particularly at professional level) but it's a great achievement to get to the semi-final and we look like amongst that lot there could well be a couple (most likely Ndukwu and Choudhury) who will make the step up. Hopefully they can do that with the epxerience of a final under their belt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're over-estimating how many players from an academy class are likely to get anywhere near the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 I think you're over-estimating how many players from an academy class are likely to get anywhere near the first team. It depends what league we are in to be fair but I would be very surprised if 4-5 of this current crop aren't floating about the first team picture. I completely forgot to put Ndukwu on that list to be fair. Both he and Choudhury are two I definitely think will end up playing for Leicester City.

Leicester Lass Posted 25 February 2015 Share Posted 25 February 2015 Choudhury was excellent, totally ran the show from midfield. He'll easily make the grade and play at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad summary to be fair Thought we were very poor in the middle of the park and King up front wasn't very mobile to say the least Kept telling everyone that whilst Chilwell is going to be top drawer he certainly isn't just yet so give the lad a chance Chelsea are head and shoulders above anyone else at U18's so at least we are in the right side of the semi final draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
