I am going to watch the Under 18s today against Fulham.I will post a match report at the end of the game.
Looking at some of the results and match reports this season, i think we have some decent players coming through the ranks.
Aren't we something like 6 points behind Arsenal with 3 games in hand? Certainly sounds like an exciting crop - Paul Hart is earning his crust, along with all the other coaches.
If we win all our remaining games we will win the League KO is 13:00 but you need your seson ticket with you to get in, at 1pm some of the first team/Chrissy may stick around to watch. I'm at work so won't be there
Yes it finished 2-1 to Fulham.Joe Pigott with the goal.The team lined up as follows: Phillips Ajayi,Lennon,Osbourne,Fox, Muldoon,Cousins,Holmes-Dennis, Pigott, Sho-Silva,Azeez. We started well and hit the post early on and then took the lead from a good move finished by Joe Pigott.We were well worth our half time lead.In the second half it was a different matter as Fulham put us under a lot of pressure.Fulham equalised from the penalty spot after Phillips brought down one of their forwards.About 20 mins from the end Fulham got their winner with a good piece of wing play and angled drive from their tricky winger.I was bit dissapointed by the second half display as we hardly threatened at all.Anyway onwards and upwards.
I think they are above us.They have got 48 points and we have got 44.Fulham have a good chance of winning the league.
For those who are clued up about our youth team, who would you all say are the most likely to progress into the first team?
Going by the Match Report on the O/S the following could happen... Arsenal - 49 points / 1 game left / 52 points max Fulham - 48 points / 2 games left / 54 points max Southampton - 47 points / 2 games left / 53 points max Charlton - 44 points / 3 games left / 53 points max Wouldnt it be great if the U18s get to parade their League title at the same time as the First Team on May 5th, what an achievement that would be!! (Have we ever won the U18 League before?)
You are allowed to use 3 over age players in League games (19 year olds and a year at this level makes a big difference) and Fulham always use this concession to the full. People to look out for from U18's (in no particular order) Sho-Silva Azeez Harriott Osbourne Poyet Holmes Ajeyi Cousins Lennon Muldoon If I had to pick 3? Sho-Silva Cousins Azeez ..... yes! not Harriott Poyet & Muldoon have another year in U18's so not considered them.
