These results wouldn’t be such a problem if they were providing us players for the first team but none of them are good enough or have been frozen out. Part of me would love to bulk up the squad and let the likes of Diallo, Salisu, Tella, Valery (though on loan) play more and get some minutes in that league- maybe even taste what winning feels like before promoting to the first team but with our thin squad we can’t do that. For reference; this Leicester U23 are also near the bottom ffs Why would we play Diallo and Salisu in the under 23s when they played regularly for decent sides in Ligue 1 and La Liga? Tella has proven hes good enough to be in the first team squad and Valery....well hes just s***. Need a complete overhaul of the academy coaching set up. Matt Crocker has his work cut out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 19 April, 2021 Share Posted 19 April, 2021 (edited) Hopefully Matt Crocker is working on changes to the set up at B Team and under 18 Level as the results have not been good for sometime now.

The Cat Posted 2 May, 2021 Share Posted 2 May, 2021 Spoke to my son's friend who plays for U15's and U16's this morning. He said their age groups are strong, the 16's are pretty decent but have spent a lot of time playing in the U18's this season which has meant some kids are being pushed around different years below to cover them. Despite that results have been alright below the U18's. He said to watch out for midfielder Kami Doyle, he's 15 but has been playing some games for the U18's and scored in a 3-2 defeat against West Ham yesterday. Apparently he's incredible and already has some sort of pro contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be now. -750 goal difference. 10 men wouldn’t have helped, but the side was strong today and they got absolutely battered. You’d expect better from a side with Ferry / Jankewitz / Tella / Olaigbe / N’Lundulu / Obafemi all playing.

saint1977 Posted 2 May, 2021 Share Posted 2 May, 2021 Strong enough line up even with the obligatory red card to not have been demolished like that again. Clearly the belated fight and grit from the first team on Friday night didn’t inspire them at all. Another bunch of lightweight tarts. Training needs to be more of a blend of technical, physical and organisation to toughen the pathetic little flowers up right across all of the club’s teams.

daldridge7 Posted 7 May, 2021 Share Posted 7 May, 2021 Watching it on Everton’s YouTube and their commentators said our team is easily the worst they’ve seen all season. I understand that a lot of B team regulars will be filling the bench tomorrow but they have been awful. The teams we have been putting out at u18 and B team recently have been embarrassing and must also just kill any confidence they have/had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 7 May, 2021 Share Posted 7 May, 2021 Based on the fans forum yesterday, there is genuine recognition from Martin, Crocker, Ralph etc in terms of the awful results. Matt Crocker was quite scathing in some comments. ''Recruitment hasn't been good enough'' ''Some players simply won't make it''. Some fair reasons provided in terms of players being pumped into the U18's before they were ready, all came down to lack of depth again (at all levels). But yeah, Matt Crocker didn't seem too impressed with the state of the academy when he came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
