Mark beard when asked about the final on twitter - 'Either at Amex or Riverside pal. Draws next couple of days.'
Interesting that its done at seemingly random!
My MotM, hes unfortunate that Brighton have Roberts, Dedoncker, Tsoungui, Turns ahead of him in the u23s.
Every single player had their moments that showed their talent which was brilliant to see.
Nilsson and Ifill were both a lot taller than I thought (Ferguson didn't look gigantic compared...
Its u17s, they changed it from the u18 cup this season. I'm guessing to make it noticeably different from the FA youth cup (though that does involve a lot more teams).
A breakdown of the cup so far - http://youthhawk.co.uk/w/index.php/2020-21_Under-17_Premier_League_Cup - makes for great...
More questions sorry... back at the start of March you said that 'Matt Everitt, Odel Offiah and Ed Turns have been offered pro deals. Goalkeeper Toby Bull has been offered a third scholar year'
How does it work with a third scholar year? Notice that Bull is as young as it gets for his age...
A compelling story, here's hoping Emmerson and Sturge talent will see them beat the odds.
Very noticeable that the six u18s who will be with the u23s next year (Turns, Talley, Peupion, Miller, Everitt, Offiah) - all born in September and October!
Thank you such a complete answer, much appreciated. Would be fascinating to see if those born in August are more/ less successful than those born in September just for essentially having that 11 months extra development.
As Ferguson has two years left eligibility with the u18s but Emmerson...
Hi AZ Gull, can you tell me, is Evan Ferguson (Oct 2004) technically in the age group below the likes of Sturge (June 2004) and Emmerson (August 2004)? Or is it done on Calendar year rather than Academic year when you talk about first year and second year scholars?
5-2 win for the boys, only surprise being that Emmerson wasn't on the scoresheet. Moran joins him on 11 for the season.
Goals: Everitt, Moran, Qureshi, Chouchane, Ifill
Assists: Everitt, Peupion, Emmerson
Next up, u17s play for a place in the final of the u17 premier league cup on Wednesday...
Indeed its a debut for Tommy Reid in the u18s today. Slightly surprisingly Hinshelwood keeping Sturge out of the team again. Everett/ Peupion returning to the starting line up.
Team for those interested;
Reid
Nilsson
Jackson
Offiah
Hinshelwood
Collyer
Chouchane
Everett
Moran
Peupion...
Bizarrely absolutely no reference to this by the commentator, either when the team sheet was shown at the start and when he came on. Missed the chance to mention the 7 goals he scored against Gibraltar u19s back in Nov 2019 (in a single game).
Wonder if Tommy Reid will get his debut for the u18s on Saturday (against Reading) as Talley hasn't been involved in the last 8 games (injured?) and Bull presumably suspended for his red card against Norwich in the last game.
Twitter rumours stating 21st April is the date. Final would be against Middlesborough who beat Blackburn 5-2 in the other semi-final yesterday. Have to think that perhaps a final would get some coverage from the club??
Thing with Henry and Sessegnon is they are almost household names. We were saying these names (myself included) last summer and it didn't happen. They haven't really kicked on this year in basic figures (3 goals and 4 assists between them this season) and they probably still command a 15-20m fee...
