Yep shows there very little quality even close to coming through.  :dave:

 

At the very least, Carroll's already made it, Vukcic looks like he's going to be pretty damn awesome, and Kadar would have probably made the first team by now if he didn't break his leg. And even if only one or two of the others get anywhere near the first team, we'll have done about as well as most of the youth academies in the country.

 

So while there's no sense screaming "play the kids," I wouldn't lose all hope quite yet  :aww:

We've had a really bad night, we played poor against a very good Liverpool side but that was our 2nd defeat since November, both also coming in the North West against everton and man city, shows that its not just the 1st team that goes to pieces when they hit the M62!!

Newcastle U18s  1  West Brom U18s  3

 

It's now just one win in eight games for our ailing

Academy side, who ended their home programme on Saturday with defeat at the hands of the Baggies.

 

Tormentor-in-chief for the visitors at Darsley Park was Albion striker Chris Wood, with a first half hat trick. The New Zealand youth international made his first team

debut last month after a run of scoring at junior level - and took just eight minutes to shoot his side ahead.

 

His second came on 15 minutes and when United defender Dan Leadbitter gave away a penalty on 40 minutes, George beat Jak Alnwick for his - and Albion's - third.

 

Newcastle had scarcely been spotted as an attacking force by that point, with a Phil Airey effort tipped over

on half time the first time Albion's keeper was tested.

 

Airey then made his mark on the game in unwanted fashion, receiving a straight red card on 58 minutes

after a poor two-footed tackle from behind.

 

United did reduce the arrears nine minutes later, when Brad Inman got on the end of a Haris Vucki centre from the left flank to head home his fourth goal of the season.

 

Despite an improved display however, an under-strength United with several players out of position could do nothing to further reduce the arrears against the Albion.
