Every time I see the U18 highlights Tyree Wilson looks an absolute livewire. Tricky wideman/no.10 who both makes and scores goals. Certainly looks to have the talent to be the next on the U18->U23->1st team conveyor belt.

Carnero... What a scout. ?

Big piece on the official site about Lampard's view of the academy lads and the desire to throw them in with the first teamers in training and see how they react to the different intensity.

Until Morgan Whittaker went off with the England U18s he, Max Bird and Tyree Wilson have been getting their chance. If I recall, Wilson's really young, so he must be making a big impression.

the whole club, it seems everyone is suddenly breaking into a new level  ???

Let's hope it continues for a while to come and we become a force to be reckoned with

I'm dead impressed with the U23's. Thought with the ones we shipped out on loan that we might have stripped the tree bare. Shows how much I know! And the U18's are just a revelation. Some proper swagger amongst the ranks there, kids who can play and they know it! Been a long while since I've been so excited about the direction in which the club is heading. I bet Mel's a lot happier right now!

And it starting to look like Stoke did us a double favour, taking Rowett AND Delap. Justin Walker ripping it up with the U18s this season. ??

Yes Tyree Wilson has turned 16. He's a first year scholar.

Here's a vid from last season when he was an under 16 although he did play some games for the under 18s. I'm pretty sure he's a Nottingham lad, so one we nicked from under the noses of them down the road. ???

Love how it ends: "My dream is to become the best footballer in the world".

That's a decent goal to have.
