It must have been an amazing experience for Shay Young to make his debut, 16 year old lad from Rugby in his first scholarship year.
Well done Shay!

Chima I would no doubt get in the u23’s. He’s tall, powerful, quick and had a good game.

So how old is he?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

So how old is he?

19 according to the internet

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

19 according to the internet

Ok, sign him up.

 

[CDK]

Thought China would be good quality and was suprised Burnley let him go.Also been out of the game for 12 months should think he will be aching to play.

You were surprised they let him go? When did you see him play out of interest?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Be interesting what happens re. Chima obviously talented and seems to be up for grabs at 19 fits our get ‘em young and develop them policy perhaps not instant first team material but then you never know.

Most likely right. If I played the full 90 after a year out I would be aching as well.

About 18 months at a Burnley youth game and thought for a defender he stood out I think was against sheff utd.

 

[Tommo1993]

Hopefully he’s better than Agyei

 

[Evo1883]

Quick question , was boddy at the match today ?

 

[CDK]

With all the trialists on show the radio said about the tall winger who scored the second goal did anyone find out who it was?

That’s seriously impressive considering you were asking what position he plays last week

 

[SkyBlues20]

Did anyone notice number 8 for leamington?

He was on trial there apparently

He was on trial there apparently

Pretty sure it was Lafferty who left us this year

He’s had some terrible injuries, the club gave him a third year scholar but he was injured again during that. Hope he finds somewhere to play

He looked good today I thought, hopefully should find somewhere

Anyone at the game have any thoughts on the new lad, Dinanga?

Looked quick and had a good turn of pace but didn’t notice anything particularly special about him

Prob best to sack him off then

Yes

Number 43, no idea who he was though.

If I knew what number he was I could tell you, but didn't know who anyone was

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Leam manager

 

[larry_david]

I know it's only pre season but that's some result.

 

[procdoc]

The future looks good if our young lads can already step up and beat a men’s semi pro team

 

[lord_garrincha]

They're saving the 1st team for Walsall... Well that was what the chairman was telling me at HT in the bar.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Yes

Double yes... Walked past me at HT by burger van near tunnel... Declined to say thanks for the free Wolves ticket.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

No idea who's who, but 7, 34 and 49 look decent. 36 up top hasn't had a shot, not won a header, controlled it or passed to anyone in blue yet!

Exactly how I saw it. Leamington number 7 was great today too. Number 40 centre backs (Chima?) looked decent physically but shit with the ball

Edit: was number 8. Looks like an ex Cov lad. In hindsight not sure why we let him go. Unreal passer and great set piece

Yeah Dan Lafferty apparently, had lots and lots of injuries and couldn’t put a run of games together. The club have a few prospects in that position, including a 17yo they’re taking on the tour, so it was probably right for club and player.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Interesting that our keeper today was on the books of Liverpool, Everton and Blackburn.

Yes he is a first year scholar (U17) this season along with Stretton, Wynne and Young who started too

Can’t be a bad thing at all but he looked about 12. Grew into the second half with a good save and a good punch clear but first half had no command of any crosses
