Tom Bayliss and Jordan Shipley are going to be big players for the club if they carry on developing at the pace they are, outstanding talents.

Although many might not make the grade I do get excited hoping that some of these guys fire us to better days

Agreed
Like the look of Camwell as well at left back.
Good size already very physical and a wicked left foot
The next Stuart Pearce?
Just maybe!!

Bayliss' development has surprised me this season. His passing and the weight of it is impressive. Shows what full time training can do for you

This is the best thing about the club at the moment,
Just wish the intention could be to develop them to make a promotion team out of as oppose to one or two been sold to fund the squad.
Ponticelli has bags of potential

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Season round-up:
111 academy appearances in the first team
13 different academy players on the pitch
4 debuts

One year contract extensions for Kyle Spence, Dion-Kelly Evans and Devon Kelly-Evans. Also a six-month deal for Ivor Lawton

 

[Shakeitup]

Really would like to see the Kelly-Evans brothers and Lawton getting on the bench and having a sniff this season. Think both could be assets for the club.

U21s manager Lee Glover has left the club to become Grant McCann's assistant at Peterborough

 

[fernandopartridge]

Shame Glover has gone. It's a promotion for him but it'll nevertheless be SISU's fault for the fact he's gone.

I have already targeted them for the Brexit too if it happens.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

No wonder he has left with Sisu in charge and it doesn't help wasps and he council hate us

So, adding to the list, those who hate us are Lee Glover, Sisu, Wasps, ACL, Higgs, CCC, Steven Pressley and ISIS.

Anyone else?

I think on the day of the apocalypse in 2345 people up there will still be wearing 'We hate Jimmy Hill' and 'Coventry Cheating Bastard' t-shirts.

Hopefully when they all go down to the eternal pit of fire and flame there will be no 15 minute delay.

Top coach good luck to him, coaches seem to move around a lot at that age group.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I would like to see Paul Williams as U21 coach

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I wonder if Sam Ricketts may get a bit more involved also might save part of a salary if he were to run it.

A man knows a list when he sees one.

It took me about 6 into that list before I realised they weren't anagrams and I stopped trying to work them all out.

An U19 team beat the Strachan Football Foundation 6-0 earlier (Finn, Hendricks, Hickman, McMahon, Bayliss, Sayoud).

Darragh Leahy, Jordan Shipley and Corey Addai are with the first team in Austria but it seems Whitmore, Maycock and Sayoud didn't travel

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Nicky Eaden replaces Lee Glover as U21 coach. Held the same role at Leicester for four years

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Strachan Football Foundation (won 6-0)
Walsall (drew 0-0)
Shrewsbury (won 1-0)
West Brom (won 1-0)
Rotherham (won 2-0)
Luton (won 2-0)
Burton (won 6-0)
Wolves (won 2-0)

The U18s start their season with a home game against Sheffield United on Saturday and the U21s start their season away at Leeds on Thursday the 18th

Is there a list of fixtures online anywhere? Club website still has last years.

 

[stevefloyd]

Looking at the squad lists it really shows how thin the 1st team squad is. Some of the young lads in the 1st team may have to play a lot of football and u18's stepping up to u21's to play these games

 

[Winny the Bish]

Any notable/exciting players to watch out for this year?

 

[stevefloyd]

So where do they play the home games?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Any notable/exciting players to watch out for this year?

Kyle Finn, Tom Bayliss, Jordan Ponticelli and Billy Stedman (only 16, year younger than the others mentioned but already has a pre-pro contract)

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

So where do they play the home games?

The U18s play at the Alan Higgs Centre but I believe they've been moved from the main/usual pitch and are now using another one

The U21s alternate between the Ricoh, Ryton (behind closed doors) and the Alan Higgs Centre

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

A very young U21s side lost 3-1 to Derby County U23s this afternoon in a friendly

Jack McBean played and Kane Smith might have aswell

 

[stevefloyd]

Boo sack them both
