Well that's where he mostly played last season, although that may have been due to Tyree Wilson playing on the LW. With Tyree stepping up to the 23s and Jaden Charles being a LB for the 18s, it makes sense to keep Archie on the LW - especially if he continues to hit the back of the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 The U18s won 4-3 vs Loughborough. Stretton scored again, along with K MacDonald, and 2 from Nto (think he’s playing on the RW). Archie Brown didn’t continue his scoring form but did grab 2 assists. https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2019/07/u18s-secure-fourth-pre-season-victory-over-loughborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 A great advert for our academy tonight. 7 academy graduates got game time against Scunny. When was the last time that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Darren Wassall and his team deserve a pay rise. They're obviously a key component of our club and it's future so I hope we pay them top dollar so they aren't prised away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram-a-lama fa fa fa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Not really kept up with the u23/u18 but really pleased some got 1st team action. Hoping to see more games this season. So just wondering what are buchanan and whittakers natural positions? Im guessing buchanans a left footed center half(even tho he played lb) due to the comments in last nights match thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hopefully knight will get some more first team action soon. could be the best thing to come out of the academy since that blonde lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly convinced about our options there At the minute. I know only time will tell but do you think he can make the step up and regularly play there?

His dad Gary Charles obviously used to play for us and always battered everyone in the dads races at sports day, so it would be very interesting and weird for me seeing him play for us in a few years time.

Ghost of Clough Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 A young U18 side are approaching half time against West Brom. Both teams scored inside 3 minutes with the scores currently at 1-1. Aghatise scored our equaliser Halwax Bardell Solomon Cashin Charles Nto Thompson Matthews Aghatise Stretton Brown I don’t recognise Rutt, so he must be from the U16 squad.

Millenniumram Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Lots of new names in the u18 side that have been promoted from the academy, interesting to see over the course of the season who looks to have the potential to make it as a pro at the very least. Let’s hope they do as well as the u18s who moved up after last season! All about the individual development at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
