Great to see some of the u18's stepping into the u21 team
I likr the look of the lad Lightfoot, I reckon he could bring a cracking player and playing up an age level
Im hoping Finlay Holcroft makes it, comes from my village, member of our branch and from a lovely family
He's only 17 and playing for the 21's so promising.
His family are really grounded and just want him to be the best he can be
Think him and Lightfoot have been in the same age groups for a few years which is nice to see
Great to here he's coming from a great family background, that'll stand him in good stead
Harrison Jones playing, so at least one of the new signings on the bench tomorrow - probably Arthur.
The GOAT

Poveda with his 2nd, hats off to him he's obviously shown a cracking attitude if they are letting him play with the U21s still

Looked such a talent back then, him and Watson would rip teams to pieces hope he can stay fit now

Aye, shame about the 2 defeats today
Thankfully the results doesn’t massively matter
Sunderland Under-21s were narrowly defeated 3–2 by Southampton at Staplewood in Premier League 2 on Friday evening.
Ian Poveda twice found the net for Graeme Murty’s side, while the hosts scored through Jayden Moore, Nicholas Oyekunle and Romeo Akachukwu to take the points on the south coast.
Both sides created chances during an even first half. Harrison Jones, Felix Scott and Poveda all tested Saints goalkeeper Dylan Moody, while Isaac Allan made several excellent saves at the other end. Baylee Dipepa struck the post late in the half as the sides went into the break level at 0–0.
The deadlock was broken on 56 minutes when Poveda struck from distance, drilling a superb right-footed effort into the bottom corner to give Sunderland the lead.
Southampton equalised on 65 minutes, Jayden Moore heading home Max Fry’s set-piece, before Nicholas Oyekunle completed the turnaround two minutes later, converting from close range after Allan initially denied him.
The Saints added a third on 82 minutes when Akachukwu headed in Samuel Tabares’ delivery. Poveda responded with his second of the evening just three minutes later, finishing clinically from the right side of the box after good work by Trey Ogunsuyi to set up a tense finale.
Sunderland pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, with Jack Whittaker and Ben Middlemas both going close, but Southampton held on despite six minutes of added time.
A significant positive for the young Black Cats came as Ethan Moore returned to action, replacing Felix Scott on 61 minutes to make his first appearance since 19 March 2023 following a long-term injury lay-off.
Graeme Murty’s side will look to respond when they return to action next Friday evening, hosting West Ham United U21 at Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground.
SAFC: Allan, Jenson Jones, Holcroft, Kindon, Lightfoot (Trialist), Whittaker, H.Jones (Burke), Middlemas, Poveda, Scott (Moore), Ogunsuyi
