U18's Saints V Pompey Saturday 11am

At Staplewood.

God knows if its open to the public.

Probably a "bubble fixture" meaning the 5 Pompey fans wanting to watch it will be individually escorted to and from the ground in a taxi apiece and when at Staplewood, will be surrounded by 250 of Hampshire's finest boys (and girls) in blue. Just to be safe.

 

It is not (although I am not God).

 

lost 1-0, bevis mugabi sent off and a harrison reed own goal - shame :/

 

was you there? if you were, what did you think of our side? views on the game? would be interested to know

oh before you get too cocky, this was missing many of our best players such as Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Stephens, Moore, McQueen and Chambers and a midfielder (Mugabi) playing CB

 

MUGABI!! Oh good this can't be good

Even with some of your players missing, your academy team will still be better than ours. Maybe they bottled it like the senior players enjoy doing at Fratton. No seriously, I'm chuffed to bits that our wee un's beat yours, just goes to show how the whole academy has improved since Awford came in.

Question - If we drew you in the FA youth cup at SM would you go to watch it if the match was open to fans? I know I would if it was at Fratton.

 

i would love to watch the youth, but they dont open to public

and they wont be bottling it at fratton this year i can assure you ! and im not too sure about your first comment sorry?

and the fact it was an own goal doesnt exactly set your team alight to be honest - you still cant score from your own players

 

Our academy is still miles better than pompey's even if we lost.

 

While none of our players scored, bare in mind that we kept a clean sheet and we must have put your team under pressure to result in one of your players scoring an own goal. So the result is positive for our team, even if it was an own goal.

 

No Ward-Prowse
No Shaw
No Chambers
Why?

 

And why we pay 150.000 for Jack Stephens?
Doesn't play for U18, doesn't play for Reserves...

 

think he is injured

 

too good for academy now.They will play for senior team sooner or later.

 

International duty.

Jack Stephens isn't playing due to injury.

 

yeah stephens is injured, shaw is or has been away on intl duty - not sure about others, maybe more U21 side?

 

All of the above played for the "U21's" on Tuesday so that might be your answer.

 

He isn't injured anymore, made his comeback last week for the development side against Brentford.

 

it was a long term injury and they wont rush someone back especially a youngster with bags of potential

 

He came on as a sub for Matt Young.
