Sorry it was worded badly, I meant two of the under 18's were told they wouldn't be getting professional contracts. And its the two you doubted in your post

Not surprised if true. I think Hendricks is a good player who could find himself another club but haven't seen much of the other guy. They both came from West Brom

Another win for our U18s this morning. 2-0 against Watford. Billy Stedman with his 5th goal of the season and Jordan Ponticelli with his 13th goal.
It's now 12 wins from 18 games and 38 points from a possible 54 for Jason Farndon's side

Good luck to Mantsounga and hendricks i guess because they have not been at the club long last in first out scenario.

While they still play under the ccfc name. I think that's a good plan to watch and support youngsters. What days/times do the youth teams usually play?

Under 18s Saturday morning. The under 18s were brilliant again today. I am sure they would beat the first team. Stronger in every area of the pitch.

Here are the remaining fixtures: Premier Academy League
They usually play on a Saturday but I think they will have one or two fixtures in midweek because a few games have been postponed recently (Palace and Cardiff).
The next home fixture is against Colchester on Saturday Feburary 11th with a noon kick-off

U23s against QPR (1pm): Addai (GK), Whitmore, Finch, Harries, Leahy, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Shipley, Dev. Kelly-Evans (C), Ponticelli.
Subs: Skuza (GK), Maycock, Spence, Sayoud, K.Thomas.
Two of the trialists are most likely the ones who played against Palace (Wharton and Nasseri). Not sure on the other yet because Diakite isn't on trial anymore. Kyle Spence and Kwame Thomas back in the fold.

Yep, we had three trialists, we let Diakite go, so we have the same two as before (presumably) plus a new one.
I have my fingers crossed that he blocks three goalbound efforts off the line, sprays the ball about in midfield like Glenn Hoddle, puts in a number of Dennis Wise style crunching tackles in and around the half way line and scores a hat-trick, assisting with fabulous crosses for the other two goals in a five nil rout.

No sign of Stokes again.
Could he be done for the season maybe.
I know they said it was only a tight groin last time he played, but that was against Brighton in the EFL Trophy. If it were only a tight groin he'd have been back in before now wouldn't he.

Yeah they said it was a precaution. Stokes said the injury was recurring before too.

I gather the first team play a team made up of the u23/u18s quite often in training and the kids win 2 out of 3 games...

He likes that penalty technique! Used to do it for us too, don't think he ever missed one

Did any of you see this game how did Micheal Folivi look, aparently there no 10
SlowerThanPlatt

He's played against our U23s twice this season. In the most recent one he won a penalty after he was fouled by our goalkeeper but we played mostly an U18 side that day against their U23s.
In the other one, he played 90 minutes but didn't do anything of note. We won 5-3 that day and the only Watford player who looked anything like a 'prospect' was their winger Dion Pereira who came on at half time
Watford's U23s are rock bottom of the league but I believe Folivi has scored a few goals for them

Seems like they're just beating teams comfortably now just like they did in pre-season where they didn't concede a single goal in 8 games

U18s away at Cardiff this morning: Skuza, Hickman, Thompson, Ford, Camwell, Doyle, Eccles, Bayliss, Smith, Stedman, Ponticelli
Bench: Naylor, Johnson, McMahon, Burroughs, Whitmore
The two unfamiliar names on the bench (Burroughs and Whitmore) are U16s. Aaron Whitmore is the brother of current CCFC player Jacob Whitmore, he's a right-back too
