U18’s beat Watford 2-1 at the Higgs today (01/04/2025). Thrilling game, very end to end with Watford taking a 1-0 lead via a certain Kristian Shevchenko, but Coventry fought back with 2 goals in the last 15 mins to seal the victory. That’s 6 wins in a row now.

They could've at least posted the team sheet so we could've seen who's was playing.

Think there's only been about three games this season where they've shown the team.

Almost as hard just to find out the scorers.

I tend to look there but even they usually have little except the result for us. Opposition often have teams and scorers, but we don't, so it has to be a conscious decision by the club they don't want this info known.

Could be due to their age and safeguarding, but could also be they want as little getting out so bigger clubs have to work harder to poach our youngsters.

Maybe we need to start a "Whatever Happened To?" for those that got poached as a youngster.

How many made it, and at what level. Did we actually get a good deal getting compensation for them as a youngster?
