Sean Neave seems to be scoring a lot for the U18s and seemingly took his chance with the U21s today, wonder if he might be one of the next ones off the conveyor belt.

He’s rattling them in, let’s hope he can kick on and be a regular for the 21s.

Does he have Prem experience?

Reserves beat Alnwick town 5-1 yesterday with Mo Sedibeh one of our new signings scoring twice.

Anyone seen much of Harrison in the u21s this season? First season stepping up to that age group, so wondered how he was getting on? See his stats say a few appearances from RW too.

I was there. Sedibeh looked handy second half in particular, I think Alfie Harrison coming on lifted him a bit (he might also have had a chewing from the coach).  They took their foot off the gas to spare a tiring Alnwick though I reckon, there was a lot of needless passing around the 18 yard box that went nowhere.

Hope they draw the Stan in the semi, reckon it would be a very decent crowd.

U18’s getting battered 4-0 at HT to City. 

[Joelinton7]

7-1. Literally nothing good to report. Their midfielder got a second half hat trick with one of them being from the halfway line at the kick off after we scored.

What's going on in youth teams. I thought we signed a ton of decent players.

Probably beat our first team.

It takes time. It seemed like you picked up a lot of players from lower division academies around the country and, y’know, they’re kids. Apart from adapting to new coaching and teammates, they’re adapting to new houses, new areas etc etc.

 

Let them bed in. I don’t know all that much about your current youth facilities and staff but my impression is that you had quite a lot of work to do on that as well. Then you factor in the quirks between age groups. Our U21s were incredible last year but they’re all on loan or in the first team squad now and the new batch are significantly younger. They’ve lost a ton of games. That’s just what happens. 
 

In a couple of years time, if all your age groups are underperforming then I’d be asking questions. Until then you just have to be patient, unless there are people who know behind-the-scenes stuff and have concerns.

Has Garang Kuol been sighted anywhere recently?

Played in a random reserves match a few weeks back but then disappeared again.

Wonder when Sanusi is back. Looked like he was gonna push himself in to the first team squad earlier.

Stream on the app wasn't working the first few times I tried so I gave up. Find this app always has some sort of issue when I use it.

Michael Mills with the winner in a 2-1 win. 15 years old, he’s been really impressive in the last month, scored a couple against the mackems Under 18s in November.

Caught the first half - really enjoyed it. Some very good performances but the best was Mills who is absolutely rapid (and very skillful). Was amazed to find out later that he's only 15

Desperate for him to make the first team, if only for the plethora of “Mills & Toon” headlines it’ll generate.
