Couple of very decent games tomorrow at the Higgs.

11:30 Under 16s v Everton
12:00 under 18s v Fulham

Tough tests for both age groups.

U16s beat Everton 5-1

U18s drew with Fulham 1-1

I'll try and get to a few of them thanks for the info

SBchimp · Aug 7, 2018

If you go on the club website on the fixtures you can add under 18s and 23s fixtures to your calendar

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Aug 8, 2018

NEWS: Coventry City Under 23s fixtures confirmed

A lot of Friday games not good as it’ll mean squad players won’t get games

Ie. Bench Saturday for first team & don’t play could play on the Monday

Bench Saturday for first team & don’t play but won’t be In dev squad for the Friday.

I guess same goes for under 18 etc they’ll be weakened on the Saturday by players playing on the Friday.

Not seen it mentioned anywhere but City were back at Villa on Monday playing their under 23s again, not our first team as such this time but still seemed like quite a strong squad including Jack Grimmer, Shipley, Ponticelli and Allassani. Lost 2-0 to two second half goals.

SBchimp · Aug 11, 2018

Last season it took ten games to register a win this season we kick off with a 2-1 victory away at Hull City. A great result for the 18s with a couple of players being rested for Monday’s 23s game at Leeds.
Under 16 Will Bapaga and Blaine Rowe with the Sky Blues goals.

The under 16s with a 2-0 victory as well

The U16 group looks strong with some of the better players playing in the 18s and still winning? Bapaga must be impressing the right people - was signed by Rio Ferdinand’s agency last season and playing and scoring up the age groups this

Camwell at CB. Interesting. Is that because Thompson is with the first team? Suggests a lack of cover there assuming he hasn't had a position change.

Allassani up front implies it's form not fitness with him as well. Disappointing.

He played there against Nuneaton too.

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 13, 2018

Them nice guys at Leeds streaming it

Nick · Aug 13, 2018

Allassani may as well go for a burger or something

They've just took at least one LB in haven't they ?I reckon he's cooked it here and down the order .
Really hoping he pulls it round but it looks like he may have blown it here.
Gutted, so promising a couple of years back .:-(

Someone posted on here that he got done for drink driving before the play off final, no idea whether it’s true. As with most rumours you see on the internet, take it with a pinch of salt

On that subject though I liked this interview Barton did on what it takes and what sacrifices you need to make to make a living out of the game for Mike Calvin’s documentary No Hunger in Paradise which was aired on BT Sport a few months back. The whole things worth a watch if you can find it online

U18s lost 3-2 to Crewe yesterday. Crewe scored the winner in added time - Blaine Rowe and Lewis White scored Cov goals. U16s George Burroughs and William Bapaga started. No Ngandu again so I think he’s pretty much gonna skip the U18s and play 23s all season, proabably play Youth Cup though

The U23s play Burnley at the Ricoh tomorrow with a 1pm kick off

better days · Aug 20, 2018

Could be one or two interesting faces in the team at the Ricoh today

ccfchoi87 · Aug 20, 2018

Good to see JJ back today.

Nick · Aug 20, 2018

What's the team?

Who are the right sided players in the academy? I've looked at the profiles and we seem to have at least three LB (Fixter, Whitmore, Martin) plus Endall who can cover there and McCallum who is technically available for them too. But no RB. In fact the only right sided player I can see is Lautaru who down as a striker who can play RM. Also seems to be a lot of AM/F.

Corrado · Aug 20, 2018

ADDAI
FORD WILLIAMS CAMWELL
HICKMAN MCCALLUM
WESTBROOKE ECCLES
JONES ALLASSANI
JCH

Winny the Bish · Aug 20, 2018

Front three of Jodi - JCH - Allassani for the U23s today.

That could easily be the first team's forward line a couple months time. Looking forward to seeing what they can do.

Okay, no need to shout!

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 30, 2018

Cov U15s 4-3 Villa earlier this week

U18s lost 2-1 to Burnley on Saturday. Again conceding the winner in the last minute for second week running. Jack Burroughs scored. Next game at home to Sheffield United on Saturday

U23s v Sheffield Wednesday 1pm AHC on Monday

chiefdave · Sep 1, 2018

Worth a watch. Interesting to hear how full on the academy audit is, not just a box ticking exercise.

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2018

U18s 0-0 Sheffield United

Bit of a stat. First 0-0 draw at U18 level since 2013/14. Possibly even longer but the site I use doesn’t have the data from before then

U23s v Sheffield Wednesday 1pm. Hopefully Liam Kelly will play as we need him back in the squad

Corrado · Sep 3, 2018

Chaplin starts today

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2018

Yeah looked at the betting earlier. We were evens now 2/7, still a bit of value in it with 7 first team players

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2018

Believe we’ve signed a new player called David Bremang. He was on the bench when we played Burnley at the Ricoh & was in the family zone on Saturday. Little info on him but think he’s an attacking midfielder/striker and was playing with Conquest Academy in London - Chris Badlan follows them so that seems to be the link

It makes sense if he’s a striker because we don’t have an ‘U23’ one

Nick · Sep 3, 2018

Like blaumange?

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 6, 2018

U23s have their second game of the week tomorrow travelling to Barnsley with kick off at 2pm. Ex City youth teamer Martin Devaney is Barnsley’s coach

Nick · Sep 6, 2018

Do Barnsley ever stream them? It will give a good indication on who's left out for Sunday.
