Saints Academy Thread

We seem to have a lot of kids out with long term injuries!

 

Yep. It's why our u21's average age is probably 17 atm.

U18's drew 2 - 2 with Swansea

 

JRod and Two Bob to play perhaps?

 

I do hope so.. good to get them some minutes.

I hope he gets in the 1st team....no problem finding a song for Valery.

 

He'll have to dye his hair ginger though!

 

Saved me a post!!

 

Question: will the game be on YouTube tonight?

 

Apparently not, Gaza Gape Vokins Reed Cook Jones Olomola Little Gallagher O'Connor Hesketh.

Subs Sims. Lewis, Valery. N'Lundulu. Willard

A very young team indeed

 

not to jinx him, but Alfie Jones has been very good at this level. Seems to have moved in very comfortably at centre back. Him and McCarthy could well have first team careers ahead of them

 

Will Wood as well.

 

Very impressed with Vokins. Probably our best player along with Reed - and he's only 15!

 

Reed is far, far too good for that level.

 

We have five very good central midfielders, so it's tough for him, but he definitely has outgrown this level.

I'm sure it's useful for him to be a leader in this young team, but for his own development i'm shocked he has not gone out on loan. Can't believe league one or league two clubs would not be after him.

 

Or even Championship/lower-end Premier League clubs. I did read that we blocked any move for him as he was needed for squad cover - but that's not turned out well, in my opinion.

 

I guess with Big Vics long suspension, he is another midfield absence from being on the bench.

Gallagher improving tonight. Much more involved

 

Just in case you're not already watching
