Lush Vlad Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 He didn’t look quick when he came on against Bournemouth last season. Looked miles away from what is required. Hopefully he can make the next step and perhaps get a loan somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Villa massacred our Under 18s in the Youth Cup. 0-4 at Whitley Park. Shows how far we still have to go to get an academy that is up there with the better ones. Edited January 16 by Nucasol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there a nation wide league, we would have been in 2nd division. My opinion is football at academy level can't be judged around result & league standings. There's no guarantee that 10 yrs later the Villa squad from today will have more professionals than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ☝️ think of your own mates you played football at school with at 16/17 and how many you bumped into two or three years later and were suddenly massive. Physicality plays a big part in competitive sport and knowing how someone is going to physically develop at a young age will always include an element of guesswork. IMO Academy football shouldn’t be primarily about results, but be about teaching technique, skills, tactics and patterns of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montysmythe Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 NUFC has announced a policy in recent months, where we play younger players to help 'advance' them by playing against older kids e.g. 15 / 16yr olds will play for U18s and 17 / 18yr olds will play for the U23s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Not worried about the academy. Looks to be in good hands. That U21 manager, Diarmuid O’Carroll, looks to have been a good hire. Jack Brazil seems a good lad too, in charge of the U16s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 9 hours ago, Unbelievable said: Ajax has done this since before the birth of Christ It came as more of a surprise that we haven't done this for years already, than the fact they've announced what all other clubs that run their youth academies at least semi-professional has been doing for eons 🤷🏼♂️ Even my local side, now a third tier team in the Norwegian league system, has done this since before I can remember - it's just basic logic when it comes to developing the most talented young players in your academy What the actual flying fuck have we been up to? At least this explains why we've not seen a youth player step up into our starting eleven in decades... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
