Saints Academy Thread

Reed is too good for U21 football. Needs to step up to a loan or into the first team.

Exactly like the first team! There's not a chance we should be losing this game.

Who broke a mirror at the Southampton training ground?!

First time I've seen Jack Stephens play. He looks very good.

Dare I say it: I think Reed would make more of an impact in the first team than JWP. I rate ward-prowse, and think he will improve, but Reed looks better at just about everything to me...

With you on the Reed assessment. Ron has moved JWP into the deeper midfield role a bit this season and he doesn't have the defensive game. He works hard and gets back in position, but I never expect him to make a tackle or win a 50:50.

Can't really expect him to play on Wednesday, tonight was a hard game on a difficult pitch, it will have taken a lot out of him.

Long term I can see Reed and JWP being the engine room of midfield

Koeman at 2 games in a row? Were there a couple of MiBs ensuring his presence?

U21 1 down at Manure Januzaj 45 minute

 

[SAINTDON13]

U21 2 down now Will Keane, sounds like we are paying for missing chances in the first half again.

Utd also have a far older team.

Yes they have a very strong team out there, sounds like Gazza and Alfie Jones are keeping us honest.

3 - 0 Will Keane penalty given away by Jack Stephens

4 - 0 Januzaj again 79 minute

 

[Whiteley Saint]

Bad night for the under 21's but does maybe confirm what Ronald has said about them not being ready yet.

Indeed 4 - 0 ft

Wasn't there some rumblings recently from
him about not being happy?

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

No doubt because he was leaving Saints for Stoke.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Good luck to him. His main problem is they have one of the best keepers in the country in Jack Butland, and he's only 22.

Yeah, but how long is Butland going to stay at Stoke? United will need a new keeper when De Gea leaves.

Parent power it was rumoured.
