Went to Fulhams acadamy`s game against chelsea this afternoon, it was a cracker, Fulham won 2:1. are now top of the youth league.
Sounds like a great game Val, have seen Tankovic's goals, good confident finishes. I am curious though, are we playing the same tactics as the first team ? In terms of us bringing youngsters through the ranks into the first team, I would assume that we are grooming them to Jol's current set up ? Anyway thanks for the updates, they are really appreciated, good to know how the starts of the future are getting on.
As You probably know i am a season ticket holder,so have not only watched all Fulhams home games and 5 away matches., c/w many training sessions,and academy and youth games. But to get to the point,no the academy method of play bears little resemblance to our 1st team, Kit Symonds being very vocal,and implementing a change of tactics if he thinks things are not going his way.a much faster free flowing game,with flair. One only has to look at Frei and to a lesser extent Trotta 2 of his class, to see in my opinion how the game should be played. To be honest i get a greater buzz,watching these lads, than the cardboard cutouts we field on away games.
