But also when I watched the U12s last season (U13s this) the whole team was very good. According to quite a few people within the academy, this is one of the best age groups they’ve seen as a group. There was one lad that stood out for me who was taking all set pieces. I’ve never seen anybody even in first team football take such a good set piece so consistently, always delivered where it needed to be. That was a boy who’s 12 years old. They are through to the quarter final of the National cup and playing Reading tomorrow. I’ll post the score as soon as I hear it. I believe they would play Chelsea in the semi final if they win.

Shadowplay Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 IF the first team end up playing in league 1 next season, does this affect our academy status, or are the two independent of each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independent. Sunderland are still Cat 1 despite being in L1 for a few seasons.

I could deliver a fantastic free kick when I was 12, but I was normally using one of those plastic balls that turns anyone into Roberto Carlos.

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just heard the U13s have beaten Reading 3-0 in the quarter final of the National Cup. My mate didn’t know when the semi final was or if it is against Chelsea but I’ll post again if I know.

Can still remember the echo sound and the sting when one of those was bladdered straight in your face from 6 foot. Ahh memories.

Ghost of Clough Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 It's matchday! The team the last time we faced Man City (October) included 3 players who are no longer with us and at least 4 who're going to be with the first team: Foulkes, McDonald, JBrown, Cashin, Bardell, RHutchinson, LThompson, Dixon, IHutchinson, Plange, Cybulski Looking at the squad... we only have 10 U23s available to choose from! My predicted team: Foulkes McDonald Solomon WGP Brailsford Robinson Clarke Dixon Aghatise Watson Cybulski Subs: Roberts, Matthews, Sebagabo, Ibrahim, Borkovic Premier ram, Indyram and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't too far off with my predicted team - Kelly and Wilson in for McDonald and Dixon.

Ravabeerbelly Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Half time thoughts as per :- Foulkes still needs to work on his distribution ? Louie Watson is seriously lacking confidence ? Cybulski needs some support and I’m not his biggest fan but he gets little or no help ? Robinson is a better defender than he is a midfielder ? So is Clarke and I think that’s where he’ll end up ? Im still not sure who thought Aghatise is first team material ? Liam Delap really isn’t that good technically and I’m not sure he’ll have a career at Man City… ? Grey to see Tyree Wilson back and good luck to the lad ? IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
