U23s & Academy

Well, I was touching on that with 'demanding too much' part of his training (which can be classed as physical bullying), but this was over 5 years ago. If you've read Nzuzi's blog, he raves about the training with Beardsley. Obviously, its in Nzuzi's interest to do so since its a public blog, but in 5 years a lot can change, guess we'll see how it goes.

 

Though all I saw of Beardsley last season was him collecting balls during the Academy games, offered little advice, though that could be because he wasn't the manager.

 

You say its Jobs for the Boys, but who else on the payroll would have taken the job? It was always going to be internal. Who are Beardsley and Stone apparently mates with, who could sway the decision for them?

Steve Stone had done an amazing job in 12 months by all accounts (taken the U15s to the Nike Cup), so I'm glad for him he's being allowed to move up. Could be the case that Beardsley has picked him out of Friendship, which would fall into your Jobs for the Boys tag, but still doesn't explain Beardsley's initial appointment.

 

Dave hit it on the head when he said 'cheap'.

Sorry Geoff, no idea.

 

Anyone want to hazard a guess at what the team will be on Friday?

Edmondsson wore 39 if that helps.

Tavernier seems to be wearing 49 on his training gear, Alnwick had 35 on his training gear.

My guess would be pretty much along the lines of seasons Youth cup side without Tavernier & Haris although Ranger might play up front with Airey,  maybe something along the lines of

 

                          ALNWICK

NZUZI      HENDERSON      FOLAN        DUMMETT

 

            NEWTON  INMAN    McDERMOTT

 

    AIREY        RANGER        EDMONDSON or ADJEI

Aye, seems in the right area, binnsy. I've decided I'm going tomorrow £9 or not. Youths play on Saturday morning against a Uni team, be interesting to see what the teamsheet looks like. Wonder if Billy Ions will feature more for the U16s, despite only being 15, though there seems to be a huge amount of strikers this year.

Which photo?

 

If its the one I think you're on about, judging by the player's number (76?) it'll be a 1st year scholar, he's standing with the keepers so it could be Jamie Smith or Alex Baird (though there's some confusion as to if its local Alex Baird, or Aussie Alex Baird who joined Derby).

Might be noisy where he's typing!

No idea, see what happens. But they are big lads for their age, which is why they bossed the defence at youth level.

Squad v Gateshead: http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20100730/reserves-head-for-the-heed_2240137_2106514

 

Ranger, Vuckic, Donladson to be included, along with LuaLua and Edmundsson. Seems a pretty strong squad with those guys included, made it a bit moer exciting. Wasn't really looking forward to paying to see Grieves and Dan Taylor play. Young Dennis Knight is in there too, very surprised with that. Think he'll be on the LW if he comes on.

 

Full Squad (guess):

 

Alnwick (GK)

 

Nzuzi-Henderson-Grieve-Dummett

 

---------------McDermott--------------

 

-----------Inmann----Newton--------

 

LuaLua------------------------------Vuckic

 

-----------------Airey------------------

 

Bench:

 

Robinson (GK)

Nicholson

Knight

Donaldson

Edmundsson

Ameobi

Taylor

Ranger

 

Little thin on Defensive cover at the moment, with a whole host of strikers available. Wouldn't be surprised if Ranger started up front with Airey on the RW, so many options.

Keep up to date, young Kezmens! Our resident ITK Know_All broke the exclusive to us that Greive and Leadbitter had been offered 6 month deals back in April due to injuries! Chances are he will leave though, he's not better than Folan/Henderson.

My old man is off to the game at the heed tonight as a guest of the chairman Graham Wood. He know's him from when he was chairman down at Hampton & Richmond. I might ask him to try and grab El Pedro's autograph for me. Not on a photo like, just a plain piece of paper. I don't want to scare the kids.

You're in the pit lane at the Hungarian GP and you're posting on here? What's wrong with you?!
