U21s 2015/16 (9 Viewers)

[Otis]

Thought I'd just post in here instead of a new thread every week. U21s away at Crewe today 1pm kick off, Rose, Hunt, Sambou, and George Thomas all start.

Another 0-5 perhaps?

So no rose or hunt tomorrow then and hooi not yet signed. Surprised he's not playing as a trialist

 

[Specs WT-R75]

Wasn't Hunt training with us all week... I wouldn't suggest a place on the bench is out of the question...

Trying to find updates from the game, usually on Twitter?

Or is that only Home U21 games and not Away?

I wouldn't necessarily say that's true. I'm sure either could be on the bench tomorrow. I'm sure it's not uncommon for players to play in a reserve/U-21s game the day prior to a 1st team match.

2-0 FT, Rose subbed off 65 mins.

U21's v Barnsley away, 1pm kick off

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Addai, Lorentzson, Ford, Leahy, Di Kelly Evans, Hunt, Rose, Maycock, Dev Kelly Evans, G Thomas, Sambou

 

[Hobo]

I think Barnsley have a few new signings having a run out.

wish I was there, come on City!

 

[Otis]

Addai, Lorentzson, Ford, Leahy, Di Kelly Evans, Hunt, Rose, Maycock, Dev Kelly Evans, G Thomas, Sambou

Lorentzson, Hunt and Rose all playing! Excellent!

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

2-0 down...

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Not so excellent.

Still, game time for the new boys. Maybe a bench spot for one or two of them at the weekend.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

3-0 another tonking for the u21's

I think because we lost on Sat. I am now allowed to ask this question.

Anyone know what Glovers record is like in comparison to the games prior to his arrival.

U21's development should be very key to us these days.

Who cares, he probably had to incorporate Hunt, Rose and Lorentzson just so they could get some game and running time. I think Barnsley gave a few new signings a run out who fitness wise might be ahead of ours. Results are not the measure at this level.

Sorry Hobo
Agree with you on lots of things. Results are relevant at u21 level.

We are not talking 12 year olds. They are especially relevant if in the same season they have taken a dramatic downturn coinciding with a new boss.

However the results since he has been in seem to have been poor, not sure how bad we were prior to his arrival?

But you can't always pick who you want. Sometimes have have to pull a player in case he is needed later in the week mid game. You have to give everyone a crack of the whip. Systems that the first team use. It just isn't all about results. I know a winning mentality is important, But at that level you can't always play your best 11 for 90.

There is a write up on the Barnsley web site. Said it was very competitive.

Yep, sometimes less about systems and more about giving injured and new players a run out.


Can hardly plan and prepare for games at times for sure.

Decided to have a look, prior to Lee Glovers Arrival

W 4
D 3
L. 2

After his arrival

W 2
D 0
L 9
(Including 6-1, 6-2, 5-0, 3-0, 3-0 defeats)


Not sure losing nearly 90% of your matches is great for development.

Depends how young our U21s are I seem to think a lot are first year youth players about 16/17 and if they are up against 19/20 year olds they can struggle

I would agree if that is the case, but
has that changed since the first 9 games to the last 11?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

U21s v Leeds: Addai, Phillips, Ford, Harries, Leahy, Maycock, Di Kelly Evans, Haynes, Dev Kelly Evans, Trialist, Sambou

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Half time 0-0

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The U21s conceeded in the 88th minute and lost to Leeds 1-0

Good to see Martin back, finch playing too!

Strong side that!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Martin, Finch, George Thomas and Stevenson return from injury.

I think the young striker who played against Leeds U21s two weeks may have signed for the club as his name is now printed on the team sheet instead of trialist.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Scouts from Sunderland, Burnley and Wigan are set to be in attendance. Is bitterly cold. #SWFC #starlive

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Ben Stevenson has started instead of Rubén Lameiras.
