The standout player in the 18's currently is Lewis Green, Billy is also a very talented lad. Couple of decent prospects in the 17's The under 15's and 16's have a number of players that if they reach their potential will be exciting, but still a long way to go..

The reality is the club didn't want to sell him, but football in the EPPP has changed the landscape. The club gets significant FL funding but basically has to open its doors to all other clubs to come and openly scout our players. That's bad enough but you also have agents messaging boys 13-14...

Our under 18s play Sparta Rotterdam tomorrow afternoon before flying home in the evening. The game will take place in Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel, "The Castle" which is their 11,000 seater 1st team ground.

Under 18's only.

Well for a start there are new dugouts for the pitches :) The goals were all replaced towards the end of last season. A refresh of all the balls, bibs, cones etc etc

Well my opinion is totally opposite to yours. As an academy parent I find the staff very positive, in fact they are the most upbeat I've seen them for a few seasons. Have you not noticed the new equipment arriving on a regular basis? The new mini bus last season? The great pitches that have been...

What I dont get Rupert, as you were at Wigan you presumably have a son at the academy. You seem very negative about it. as we have one of the most productive academy's in the country aren't you living the dream??

This is the main pitch at the Higgs taken at yesterday's game. It is absolutely top draw as always having been relaid at the start of each of the last 3 seasons. In fact the groundsman was out marking up one of the junior pitches as this game was on.

I have a son in the academy. This was just a standard pre season induction we have each year. Very much about the expectations of the players, training schedules, introduction to new staff etc etc. Mark Venus was there to represent as director of football to field any questions from parents and...

Richard Stevens is the Academy Manager. He worked under Gregor as head of coaching before taking over a couple of years ago. Jason Farndon is one of the under 18s coaches. Stevens has been at our academy for around 9 years and has been influential in developing the academy players throughout...

This is for a new Head of Recruitment (Scout) previously held by some dumpy fella who has now joined Birmingham. Richard Stevens is the Academy Manager.

The club must be paying well over £100k to rent facilities at the ahc. Even if CCFC only stay 2 years AH are quids in. So stop bitching and maintain your centre. I was there the other week and there were kids in the hall on bikes trying to skid on the pitch. I would also suggest once they...

Turn your brain on. 2 defensive mistakes (that got punished) loads of mistakes upfront. Clueless manager has to go or we are down

9 1/2 K for the rugby version of the JPT. 15 reserves fielded and loads of points score seems ok to me. Wasps are not the problem here they conduct themselves professionally at all times. If they were our tenants I don't think there would be half the bad feeling. CCFC (sisu) could have bought...

Turner and Biggie were sold, as was Cyrus. and although he came back Connor was also sold to Liverpool for £1m

The most astonishing thing is the back drop of what this is being done against. With all the off field turmoil of the last few years, the Academy being kicked out of the Higgs Centre and Coventry sliding down the leagues. Our Academy has continued to deliver some excellent players. Just think if...

He needs to go immediately, why is this even a debate. Passion has nothing to do with it as it's completely useless if you don't know what you are doing. Dreadful recruitment, dreadful tactics and clearly no respect from the players.

In the last 11 games, 7 defeats, 2 draws and 2 wins. One of the wins was the JPT against Exeter, who themselves lost this weekend to the might of Warrington. Clearly something has to change, I don't normally blame managers, but I don't see how anyone can back SP's record. Showing passion is...

Here's a simple enough question. Does anyone think for one second with Mark Robins in charge yesterday Coventry would have lost? SP put out his strongest possible team yesterday, are the players good enough to beat Worcester, of course they are.. Is their manager a footballing genius.... of...

Nah your ok. I'll be watching Coventry tonight at the Ricoh as always.
