U18 Premier League Cup Final WHU v Reading - 7pm K.O.

Post Massive Attack »

Hopefully the Academy boys can win another piece of silverware since we won the FA Youth Cup only 2 seasons ago. 

Forwards Ajala, Landers and Centre Half Mayers are some of the better player's to look out for.

Fair play, hes making a living playing football, but it is a low standard. For most of the academy,  this will be as good as it gets. Anyone saying play them against spurs etc is bonkers.
I wouldn't say play a load of them but I wouldn't be adverse to playing 1 or 2 more alongside Scarles with the generation we've just produced. Reason I say that is we've recently won a League and Cup double the same year that both Skelly and Nwaneri have made the step-up and they were schooled by many of our players throughout that season. Sometimes we overprotect not playing the youth to the point it can be stifling and considering the season is now dead with zero pressure to avoid the drop, now go and play the likes some of them till the end of the season.

And like someone else said, bearing in mind Spurs are going to be heavily focused on their Cup loss, they're likely to play more of their youth as well in our Home fixture. Trust them and give them a go, the fans won't get on their backs and an easy win scenario for the English Moyes to get some brownie points.

If Potter had any balls he'd play half the this team against Spurs as exactly that's what Spurs will be doing as they have their 2 cup finals with ours sandwiched inbetween our game.

If this was Potter he'd have taken off all our Forwards by now..

Think he was another one that Chelsea discarded just like they did with Rice before we polished him up.

If it was Potter there is a better chance we'd have started without a striker.
Basing it on the last match in particular. Fancy taking off our only goalscorer Bowen, assist maker Fullkrug and Kudus in the 2nd half...😵

Quality in academy teams = cash in Sullivan's sky.

Not that you needed to be told that.

But I told you anyway, so get fucked. 😁

Twat. If it was your hero Lopetegui we would have lost 5-0.

Was also very impressed with our Scottish Forward Landers who works tirelessly like a dog for the Team up top not giving the opposition a moments peace. 

Another one was West Ham mad Riley Hargan in midfield who almost scored a worldie in the first half and sprayed the ball around the pitch for fun too.

Medine at full back was very good on the ball coming forward and No. 10 Sowunmi.

Very good quality of Football on display by both Teams. We are zipping the ball around lovely and almost went back in the lead with an unbelievable volley outside the box heading top corner, only for their Keeper to turn it around for a corner. Their equaliser was also top drawer from outside the box. 👌

Cheers. Might take a look.

Why are we always drawn away in these finals? Not very fair, is it?
