Can't help but feel for Olomola was banging them in for Yeovil now stuck on the u23s bench

 

He's clearly off in the summer & so we'd rather not stop the progress of people like Obafemi.

 

Maybe he got greedy because Yeovil made him an offer of being their highest paid player.

He's not going to let him out of his sight, is he? He's literally not giving him an inch of space. He was with him at training too. At least it gets Old Les out and about.

 

In the ‘welcome’ video Reed and Wilson look like dodgy second hand car dealers in bad suits showing a prospective punter round their lot. I hope Hughes is like Strachan for us and finds his fit quickly, I also hope Gao pulls the trigger on the chancers that have undermined the club early in the summer! COYR!

Puels influence again? Wasnt he originally brought in to us because he got the best out of Youth?

Well he is the Leicester manager so there could be something in this, just not our youth. To be fair Leicester are top of PL2 Division 1 and we are bottom half od PL2 Division 2, so the result rather reflects our relative positions. The u23s have been very poor for the last season and a half though have had a bit of a renaissance in the last few games. Indicative of the problems with the club at the moment at the top level of the Academy, need to replace Hunter and not really sure Jaidi is the right coach. U18s are a diferent story now looking decent again after bringing in Danny Butterfield.

Possibly the problem is that none of the players who turned out against Leicester would get a sniff in the first team

 

We have a relatively large first team squad but rarely do the 'fringe' players turn out for the U 23's which may be a good thing for the development of younger players but not so good for results
