U18s 1-0 up at half time against West Brom, Tyler Dibling goal. Caught a bit of his England appearance the other day and he’s an interesting player, great dribbler and think he’s left-footed from what I could tell.
Under 18 now 1 - 1. Odd stat. Dibling got a yellow and scored a minute later. Williams for WBA also got booked and scored a minute later! Later corrected that Higgins scored. Update 2 - 1 up Wright. Finished 2 - 1. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...omwich-albion-under-18-premier-league-2021-22 The GK trialist was named as, Josh Jeffries from Botley, recently playing for Totton. 6 ft 4 inches!
B Team playing Birmingham tonight currently = 2 - 1 up. Pearce and Olaigbe. Half time. 2 - 2 66 minutes. 2 - 3 down 86 mins. 2 - 3 ft. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...c-vs-birmingham-city-premier-league-2-2021-22
For people who see them regularly / know more about them - who are closest to stepping up from the under 18s and the B team? I am aware Ballard and Doyle are playing in B team games but a jump to the first team squad is a big one
Think Ballard and Luke Pearce seem to be getting a lot of attention. Ryan Finnigan was playing with the first team in pre-season but has been out injured for long periods of the season so far.
What positions are Pearce and Finnigan? Ballard appears to be a striker but I have heard suggestions that as he goes up through the age levels he might move more into one of the 10 positions ? Can’t remember who from
We were 3 - 1 up at half time, they got a very late goal to make it a bit edgy, but we won in the end. Still waiting for the OS to catch up. B Team still 0 - 0 at St M v Nottingham Forest.
B Team 1 up Smith 42nd minute. 1 - 0 HT. 2 - 0 Olaigbe 50th minute. 3 - 0 Pearce 53rd minute. 3 - 1 56th minute Fernandes. Smallbone subbed off, got an hour on the pitch. 3 - 2 71 minutes Konate. 4 - 2 FT Pearce 94th minute.
