A 4-3 win for the u-18s today against QPR. Goals for Jack Sykes(2), Leeyon Phelan and an injury time winner for Leo Papirnyk. They lie third in the table, one point behind Swansea.
Similar team to last week for the under-21s at Bristol City. Wigley and Apter back in and it looks like Sekou Kaba is on the bench. Where's he been?
1-1 at half time. O’Brien equalized with a header from a corner.
The game’s being shown free on Bristol City TV, You have to register to be able to watch it.
Lost 3-1, must say we looked quite lightweight compared to the wurzels.
We talked about how big and physical Bristol City were last season when they bullied our u-18s out of the Youth Cup. Luke Skinner was pretty much unplayable then and I see he scored today too. He's been on loan at Eastleigh and scored twice against York in early November. I assume he got injured because he hasn't played for them since. Just turned 18, one to keep an eye on.Quote:

He came off the bench and got the late winner for the u-18s on Saturday too. The David Fairclough of our Academy (if you're under about 90 you might not get that).Quote:

Papirnyk has had a good week but why have you posted this in the Corrie thread?Quote:

I'm not sure if Caden Voice is ready to go, what's going to happen if he is? He seems to be a centre back primarily although he has played at left back, which could be handy. With Kingdon, Keita and Debono as centre backs (behind four more at first team level) we're not short in that position. Obviously, if he's seen as an improvement and a potential first teamer at centre half then fair enough.Quote:

I was thinking similar re: Pearce. Presumably we'll need someone on the bench though? If Lawlor and Turnbull haven't recovered we'll only have 15 fit outfielders to choose from!Quote:

Was just about to post exactly this. 4 outfield players out and we'll struggle to pick a full bench with all the u21s out on loan.Quote:

Even if he sticks someone like Kingdon on the bench tonight I'd be very surprised if he used him. Pearce is slightly different though as the only other fit number 9 here presently. It'll be interesting to see if BBM considers him as genuine cover up front.
Pearce is playing this afternoon, as is Kingdon. Voice starting too.Can't see any noticeable absencesQuote:

Voice plays at left back. Unless he’s been injured, I don’t get why Apter, who always impresses me when I see him play, is only on the bench.

Even if BBM doesn't rate the lads in the u-21s, surely we'd need a match day squad of at least 20 just in case someone drops out late, like Lawlor did on Saturday. Maybe we will see two keepers on the bench later?Quote:

There were problems with stream in the first few minutes, so IÂ’m not certain, but it looks like Brentford had their keeper sent off in the first five minutes. ItÂ’s been like attack v defence in the first twenty minutes and Pearce has had an effort cleared off the line, but itÂ’s still 0-0.
2-0 to City at half time. The first goal was an easy header from Luke Pearce from a fine cross by debutante Voice and the second was a lucky effort from Jake Davies whose shot from twenty five yards got a big deflection which looped in off a post.
Yes, the keeper was sent off after three minutes and no sub keeper on the bench. Not much of a spectacle so far, very windy here which is making things difficult. The 'keeper' should provide some comedy moments in the 2nd half if we can be a bit tidier in the final third.Quote:

Matt Apter heading out on loan
TOBW predicted this recently. It feels like I'm missing something though. He was captain of Everton age-groups but they released him at 19. He played for Scotland under-18s at 16 (alongside Jack Kingdon) but dropped off their radar after that. It's an odd CV.Quote:

BBM put him on the bench for the Newport game but, despite all kinds of funky stuff going on with 15 and 16 year olds, players out of position and Wintle and Turnbull tiptoeing through the second half after yellow cards, he didn't get on.
He played against Arsenal u-21s but didn't get on against Wimbledon, BBM kept Colwill and Mafico on for the 90 even though the game was over after about 50. When I saw him for the u-21s around that time he wasn't as good as I was expecting, I never felt he was running the game and he even got subbed against QPR. He's been in and out of the side since Xmas.
TOBW rates him and he's seen more of him than me so I respect that. Maybe I've caught him on a couple of off days, maybe he's not quite at full fitness for some reason, but he hasn't pushed on here as I was expecting. Still time though and a loan spell could kick things off for him.
