Match Thread U23 v Ipswich Town - Play off semi final (1 Viewer)

SBchimp · May 5, 2022

Some good news.

Ipswich have already started work on their pitch for next season so we are expecting this game to be played at the CBS Arena on Tuesday 2pm KO

Still to be confirmed by the club(s) but I for one am delighted that a round trip to Ipswich may not required.

Be interesting to see what team we put out with the first team finishing this weekend. Hopefully the likes of Josh Eccles will fancy a kick around..

Shame about kick off time but hopefully we can get a few people up there to support the boys.

Sorry to be stupid here but what do we win? Do we go up a division?

SBchimp · May 5, 2022

a bit of silverware, only way to 'go up' is to change to a CAT1 Academy.

The Cat2 clubs play across 2 leagues, The North and South.
Each team plays everyone in their own league twice and each team in the other league once.
Then at the end of the season 1st plays 2nd from the other league to knockout to the final to be Cat 2 champions.

Works exactly the same way in the 18s

I assume Tyler Walker is back in training and available to play?

He's back so I guess he will be available

Is that even allowed. I thought loans are officially until end of May/June? Surely you can't loan someone out and then bring them back for the play offs for example

Not sure with U23s but as Portsmouth's season is complete it might be allowed as he's our player
Don't think he'd be allowed to play for the first team again this season though

Ah thought you meant me might play tomorrow. Would have thought that in the semis/final of this U23s competition you can't throw in players who haven't played for 23s all season though

Walker played and scored for the u23s earlier in the season

Why are we supposedly pulling young players from first team duty for this meaningless game?

This is a Semi-Final? The first team match is the one that is meaningless.

I’d prioritise first team experience over an U23 cup game every time, but to each their own.

Fair but the only U23 that is really considered a first team member at the moment is Eccles & he's with the first team.

It's not a meaningless game for anyone associated with the U23s
It's at the CBS and there will be a big crowd

First semi final played today. Bristol City won 1-0 away at Sheffield United.

SBchimp · May 10, 2022

Great afternoon for watching football.
Expect a true u23's line up today with 1st team now on the beach.

larry_david · May 10, 2022

PUSB!! Let's smash em!

rexo87 · May 10, 2022

Really wish they’d stream this game. Shouldn’t really be that difficult at the CBS to do that

I am liking the power shift here.

Trialist in the final seems a bit weird

better days · May 10, 2022

Bit of a kick in the nuts for Johnnie Ngandu

SlowerThanPlatt · May 10, 2022

And Evans Harriott. Maybe they had a choice if they wanted to stick around and support their mates

Is he leaving ?

Playing a Trailist in a semi final is a bit wierd for me.

Seems so Pete

Skybluebeliever · May 10, 2022

Tom billison has not featured , I think he might have been released

Who is in charge of the team today ?

SlowerThanPlatt · May 10, 2022

1-0 Bapaga

I wouldn’t be too surprised if we let him leave, Cian Tyler has had a great season and we are taking the 18s goalkeeper on too

Any streams on club websites?

Alex1987 · May 10, 2022
