sh74 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Desperate for an overhaul of the academy from top to bottom. Not being to critical but I watched the u18’s game last night and I’ve seen better games with better football played in the pinpoint league on a Sunday.

I wonder if ours is actually any worse than any other academy in that regard. They are the football equivalent of factory farming honestly. It’s all a bit grim I can’t remember where I read it, but lower league clubs and even non league clubs produce more players that end up having a professional career in football than all the PL clubs put together, which might seem sound given there are more clubs than the 20 in the PL, but it says a lot maybe about how being at say NUFC or Chelsea’s academy isn’t the be all and end all to have your kid attending. In fact it might be detrimental to kids’ hopes of making it! Edited December 11, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of those u23s and u18s will never make a first team appearance for us going off the recent past, places in League Cup and FA Cup matches which other PL clubs play youngsters in have went to the likes of Krafth, Hendrick and Joselu.

Scoreboard82 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 FA cup tie at home to Colchester has been switched to SJP this coming Monday. Might go along. ST holders for free. £3 adults otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Beat Colchester 3-2, into the next round. Ndiweni looks like he has a good chance to go far as a player. Edited January 17, 2022 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how crazy the year has been for covid and injuries, actually a little surprised we didn't get a bunch in that could be registered by Feb 1st. Think all hands have been on trying to improve the first team. U23 and down will be overhauled one way or another in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Kelland Watts will be a part of our first team squad next season. Would be good to have some young players as squad players instead of Clark, Hendrick, Gayle etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonScotman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Has there been any new players or trialists for the 18s or 23s. Or even players we’ve looked at, that could make the step up with great potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
