Was Deli Alli there just to watch or was he checking us out as a possible loan move?

Leicester always seem to have good youth sides

Tom Sang made a first Football League appearance this afternoon when he came on as a half time sub in Cheltenham's 2-0 win over Crawley this afternoon- they've got a game on Tuesday in which he'll hopefully start.

Not even in the squad unfortunately. A bit surprising so perhaps he has a knock or they are introducing him gently.

Sam Bowen, Kieron Evans and Isaak Davies all started for Wales under-19s in a 2-0 defeat by England today.

No idea what's happened to Dan Griffiths lately, I'm sure I saw him playing for our under-23 side pre-season but I've lost track of him for now. Ryan Reynolds has had serious injury problems in the last couple of seasons and I don't know what his situation is for now either (it's a fool's errand trying to google him). Harry Pinchard came on in the second half today, I saw him listed as a Swansea City player on one team sheet, anyone got confirmation of that?

James Waite had a hat trick for Weston in the FA Cup tonight and has been scoring regularly. Deserves a better class of football from what I've seen but I think Harris has said nobody else came in for him on loan.

Seems like he's buzzing, a couple of those goals sounded useful. Ridiculous that he's still playing at that level, hopefully the weight of goals he scores there will catch someone's eye.

In answer to BlueToujours, Tom Sang rolled his ankle in Saturday's game which ruled him out last night. He's been given the nickname Sangy by manager Michael Duff but I shall respect the dignity of this thread and continue to call him either Tom or Sang. Or, on occasion, both.

Was that Lloyd Humphries playing as well?

Yes, he's their player now.

Sam Bowen off to Barry on loan, not sure for how long.

A 5-2 hammering at home for the Under 18s by Sheffield United yesterday - we're really struggling for results below first team level this season.

A very young Development team currently playing at Sheffield Wednesday - the team includes a new name to me Roland Idowu an eighteen year old midfielder formerly at Southampton's Academy.

Lost 1-0. Not much info off the twitter feed, George Ratcliffe had a decent game by the sound of it but missed a chance to equalise in the final minute.

No point in trying to read too much into the players who were missing today but both full backs, Joel Bagan and Camron McWilliams, were absent along with Mark Harris and Tavio d'Almeida. No sign of Ntanza Mayembe in the past few weeks, I assume he's injured.

So, Ratcliffe had a chance in the last minute?

Mayembe was captain of the Under 18s in the season opener against the wurzels I think, but I'm not aware of him playing at any level for us since then.
