Saints Academy Thread

Ralph does really value fitness levels.

 

Under 18's currently 1 - 1 at Villa, Olaigbe the scorer

Update 3 - 1 up Mitchell and Bellis

 

There were several counter-jinxes put in place by some of the more responsible members of this board. I suggest you keep this to yourself. I won't tell anybody for now, as long as you promise to behave yourself in future.

 

So did we ever actually sign Jeremi Rodriguez?

 

I believe so, but never really announced it though.

 

Under 18s winning 3-1 away to Villa too.

 

3 - 3 in injury time!

 

Interesting that a lot of the senior u23s (vokins, slattery, ferry, n'lundulu etc) arent featuring.

 

My understanding is, and I stand to be corrected, it is an under 21 side with the exception of the goalie.. Them is the rules..

 

Yeah and all the senior B team players count as U21 as none of them are taking up a place in our PL squad.

Seems a good opportunity to play missed for them.

 

Sam bellis currently has us 1-0 up.

 

2 - 1 in injury time Olaigbe

Were MK fielding a strong XI?, if so that's an impressive result for the Saints nippers.

 

Papa Johns Trophy. I mean, what the ****?

 

JPT became PJT

 

I won’t copy and paste it, but there’s a piece on The Athletic this week about the B team and the coach David Horseman. Goes into explaining why results for the youth sides haven’t been great and what they are trying to do at the moment. There’s definitely a clear vision and plan but, similar to the first team, it’s going to take time. Horseman said again that results are not the focus. I got the sense that it would be possible to set up teams that can grind out wins, but the goal is instead to get players mentally, tactically and physically ready to step up to the first team. Ralph and first team coaches are heavily involved too.

 

... and this is how it should be.
