At that level? I'm genuinely surprised by that. I'd have thought it would be a lot tighter like in men's football.
My lad plays and yes, when there is a huge difference in teams quality it happens, but when teams are evenly matched, even at kids level they tend to be tight games. Admitted u11s this season so 9v9 ans 60 minutes games, but most games he's played in have been won or lost by the odd goal, and a few 0-0, 1-1 draws. That's in the mjpl.

Didn't we beat this lot a few weeks ago as well. It did seem like a heck of a collapse. I guess they will learn from it, or we've learnt from it who has the backbone to success and who doesn't. Or it's a freak result with freak circumstances...

Mjpl is a reasonable standard on a Saturday morning especially the teams towards the top of every age group. Lots of academy sides scattered about in there aswell.

Luke Bell signs first pro deal. Keeper in the u18s and will now step up to 23s.
That's Tyler, Billson and Bell now in the 23s. What's the plan there?

Tyler Billson and Wilson all out of contract in the summer. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new keeper come in for the first team then either.

Bell is very well thought off.

Billson is available for loan.

Hes the eldest right? I’d expect to see him let go if he hasn’t forced his way into the reckoning by now. Probably looking for a suitable club who can take him on next season.

Yeah, 21/22 I think... if you remember, he went on loan to Scunthorpe at the beginning of last season but did his knee in the first game and was out for the rest of the season.

Yeah he was their number 1 as well. That sorta thing happens on footy manager you turn it off and start again cuz that's a year of wasted development

Different world when you can have players like that nowhere near the first team and we are only a league down.

We do okay at academy levels I actually seen us beat Chelsea last season at u/15 level and draw with Arsenal at U/16 last Friday but once we get to the pro levels it’s very tough.

What was our team mate? Who was in goal?

TBF the big boys don't normally match us up age by age, not taking anything away from results, their boys a year or even 2 down will be full of future international youth players. setups and budgets are superior to our first team.
Billy Gilmour in at 16 playing 3 years in their youth teams before breaking through, crazy!!
