U21's lose 1-0 in a well contested match V Yate Town. Bristol's youngsters doing well after conceding a soft goal. Centre Backs Jack Batten & Aron Davies look very good as well as Ben Withey RB. U18 win 2-1 at Paulton.
Thank you Razor. Do you consider Jack Batten to be anywhere near ready for the first team should we get a spate of injuries? Did Bishop and/or Lemonheigh-Evans play up front? Same question on them
I feel Jack is a decent CB not sure if quite ready for 1st team but not to far away I feel. Marley didn't play yesterday as he is injured and out for a month or 2.Conor played at Paulton and picked up an ankle injury. As for 1st team duties Marley I believe will be 5/6 choice this year with maybe a loan spell somewhere. Conor is not ready for 1st team. Hope that answers your question. Also Liam Monelle picked up an injury at Yate so strikers are getting thin in the youth set up.Looks very likely there will be a few young U21 to start season with Aron Davies probably the pick of the bunch and playing quite regularly at this age. They play at Mangotsfield away Weds 7.30pm KO and Bristol Rovers Sat 11am at SGS.Not sure if U18 or U21.
