saints U21 v Stoke away

The U21s kept their hopes alive for elite stage qualification by beating Stoke 1-3 today. They face Man Utd 3rd Dec and NUFC on 17th. Both at home. Both are scheduled for St Mary's but the Man U game may be moved to Staplewood.

 

The U18 at home won 2-0 Rowe and Mells scored.

 

More good stuff. The future looks bright in red and white!

 

I've heard good things about Mells. Good to hear about him playing and scoring for the U18s.

 

Excellent from the U18's again! Well done U21's as well! The future's very bright if these players keep progressing.

 

The one we poached from Chelsea

 

Yeah I've not heard of him before, here's some more info: http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite5_1_12/09/2011_405892

He's only 15 so must have something about him!

 

I like the sound of his family

 

"Young Mells developed further at the Chelsea academy, but his family was eager to seek out the best for him. As a result, Mells moved to Southampton, which, in the words of the player’s father, George Meletlidis, has got one of the best soccer academies in the UK, complete with a school program for its young stars."

If anyone was in any doubt of the quality of our academy, this is fairly conclusive!

 

two countries fighting for his loyalty, must be good

 

Good to see Lee back on scoresheet!

 

And Johnathon Forte , Ben Reeves influential (Again!!!!) throughout

Reeves was captain. Can see him and JWP being key for us in the next few years!

 

who???

 

Forte was one of our less successful purchases, wasn't he? Two very important goals to get us promoted from League 1, but not much since. I think our rapid promotions have caught him out as being below the quality we need.

 

He's certainly not PL class. Would do a good job for a League 1 team though.

 

Forte will forever be a Saints legend for those goals against MK Dons!
