Saints Academy Thread

When we're doing bad it seems none of our teams can even score. Sneak a win and goals seem to be coming from everywhere. Hopefully that club form continues onto the first team next week. (man city u18 are apparently also unbeaten averaging 3-4 goals a game)

(Also Kornelius is a brilliant name, i want him in our first team just for that)

 

Finished 3-0

 

Great stuff, considering City have pumped a lot of money into their Academy.

 

Reminded me of Peter Enckleman for Villa v Brum about 15 years ago

 

Forgive me but in what universe is that a "poacher's" goal. It is very good strikers goal.
Surely a poacher's goal is tap in from close range?

 

Not my tweet - completly agree. Took it very well, excellent technique.

 

Do we have a big youth setup in Ireland? I was just going through our u18's this year and noticed we have 5 or 6 players from there. It just surprised me as I hadn't heard that. Edit: and of course O'Connor who is already in the u23's

If we're lucky Ireland might have a lot to thank us for in a few years lol.

The younger Academy sides off to Milan. My friend's grandson will probably be going as he will be in the u9s (or possibly u10s)....he has already been abroad 3 times in his first season at Saints. Great experience for a youngster.

Looks like Virgil has graduated.

 

Or been dropped

 

No mention on twitter but i am lead to believe McQueen scored a pen and west brom have had a red (their goalkeeper)

 

Apparently we won 1 - 0 but the club twitter account seems to have fallen asleep.

 

Hopefully this means Virgil will start on Saturday.
