FULL TIME: @FulhamFC U21s 1-2 #SaintsFCU21s Goals from @B_M321 and @JasonMcCarthy32 send Martin Hunter's side top of the #BU21PL.
Our u21s are doing well, but the u18s are seriously underperforming. I know we play a young side, but I would hope they'd be mid-table, not right near the bottom.
Seems to owe to the fact that we don't consider winning at that level a priority; beyond promoting kiddies to the U21s at a younger age than most, we move players around to different positions so that they can better understand the roles, etc. Good for long-term development, bad for short-term results.
Beefy, you really do seem to rate McCarthy, do you think he could be that good? Also if we carried on playing 3cbs, that would surely help to bring him on playing alongside Jose and Toby
Give it a few years and yes I do. He reminds me of a good old fashion English cb (bit like Terry is).
Hopefully that's his style of play you are referring to, or will they have to ban all WAGS from meeting him
The U21s are in action against Norwich in the BPL U21 Cup tonight. It's at St. Mary's for those of you us with nothing better to do on a Thursday night; tickets are only £3 for adults and £1 for concessions. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150112-u21-premier-league-cup-norwich-home-2199064.aspx
