3-1 to Oxford, game over it seems.
3-1 FT - bit disappointing.
Yes, we’ve not done well in the Youth Cup lately.Originally Posted by Undercoverinwurzelland
I've just watched the U21 game. A very good performance. The three schoolboys did well. Lewys Benjamin is impressive, he's the 1st 6ft+ goalkeeper we have had in our U18 academy for years. I can't believe he hasn't ever been selected by Wales at Schoolboy or U16 level.
Eli King really is a class apart. Antwi, Zimba, Leahy and Campbell are OK, but they are all 21 now and nowhere near the 1st team, Colwill, Denham (I hope he's back soon) and King are all younger. The three centre halves did well, but none of them appear to be tall enough for league football.
Growth spurts. Just saying!
It’s a little know fact that Stanley Matthews retired at 14’ 2”
This is a group that should have done better. They are probably not the strongest at the back and would have missed Lawlor (who I presume is injured).

I hope Denham is back soon. He's a good player. He should be even better now he's 6'7"
No troubles getting on the grass, but it was a bit of a struggle to get in the building by the end
It all worked out ok, the group carried him in length ways.
Reported on Twitter that several clubs, including Man City, Villa & Southampton, are interested in Troy Perrett
made his u21 debut the other day I think

Bianchieri as well seen some rumors on Twitter could be off?
At what point do you do a Brentford and bin off the academy. Seems like it’s basically just a way to develop highly rated young players for the Prem. Not that the Brentford model would work for us the way the club is run, but if we lose 3 highly rated youngsters in under a year before they have a chance to play for us what is the point.
It is disheartening isn't it if we lose the best of the young players we develop.
It seems like a broken system if bigger clubs can poach the best of smaller clubs' academies before they can even get any decent money for them, then just loan their academy stars out for a few years before letting them go.
Not quite the same thing, but I wonder what’s happened to Cian Ashford?
.
Injured?
Think he must be, but it’s seems like months since he played.
I'd heard that all those offered scholarships had accepted them and signed up. I hope it's true.
It seems a bit unlikely that a player would reject terms and then be selected two age groups up a few weeks later.
That said, Charlie Crew was playing for the U18's quite late in the season last year.
An interesting piece on this topic here: https://roathboy.com/why-it-is-growi...rubin-colwill/
He seems to think that Biancheri is as good as gone, but then again he said Bale had signed so...
He also seems to believe we developed Sang rather than Bolton and then Man Utd who released him.
