Genuine question: Where do you think he goes if he leaves?

It's the beauty of their literally being a space for them too. It's not like we're saying: "Oh come and join us, Thierry, you'll get games" when we've got 3 senior left-backs tucked away somewhere. There's no left-backs until you get to the U18's.

No left-back cover is barmy. Moi's surely got to feature.

Interesting to see how many changes we make with Newcastle away a few days later. Ralph tends to go fairly strong doesn't he? But we have more options now. Think the Newport manager has COVID, so their assistant will be in charge.

@TWar took some flak for the insane signing thing, but in youth football, the move really turned heads.

1 part of that story certainly has substance.

Not this time, he's 17 Always slightly nervous when we get mentioned long before it's done.

Kerr Smith is very highly rated, and has the usual-suspects who's-who of Leeds/Villa/Palace etc. chasing him. We're pretty short of numbers at centre-back in the 18's at the moment.

Exactly, right?! I was reading that article and was thinking: "No way, we're well stocked with those...." & then saw the Armstrong mention (!)

He's been consistent on us wanting him for a while. I don't like the Armstrong bit though! Linked with Kerr Smith in the article too.

Made up for missing his pen last week.

Has come back on trial, I believe. 2 triallists on bench.

Agree. But we know we were pretty terrible last season and we’ve got a REALLY young group this season & new coach back in place implementing a new strategy. Anytime somebody scores 5, it’s impressive. Really promising start by the lads.

15-16. not sure there’s enough interest so I keep it to 1 thread

7-2 FT

6-2 Doyle’s 5th

5-2 Doyle’s 4th

4-2 now 👀

Just that he was forthright in saying we’ll keep 1 & one will go. Surprised he actually said it.

Carl Martin’s Saints U18’s v2.0 are 4-0 at halftime (!) Good lord. Doyle with 3

We also signed Guido Carrillo.
