Phileas Fogg Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Who was the last academy player who played for an adult England youth level (u19s+)? Lita doesn't count as strictly speaking he's not a true academy's product.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was picked in squad but didn't play. If memory serves me right they used to pick a local player in squad to try and boost ticket sales ?

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 The games are home to Holland on Thursday at Telford and then away in Switzerland on Monday. No idea of KO times but there`s a good chance BT Sport will have the games on - possibly with our very own Jonathon Pearce commentating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Brilliant news for Lloyd and the coaching staff who have helped him through the years. I'm excited about the quality that we are now seeing from our Academy boys. So good for the future of our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd joined the academy at 11 thats seven years ago long before LJ took over. Overhead this once said by a Southampton coach, the only difference between you and us is not the quality of the players but the opportunity available to them. What LJ has given the boys in the academy is a route to get to the first team that wasn't available before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Kelly has always been ahead of the curve, and good to see both Cotts and LJ have seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young players he bought in were already established professionals, not our academy players. He even opted to have a spare place on the bench rather than fill it with a youth player on occassion. Had he shown more willingness to create a 'pathway' for youth players, he might've kept his job for a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done lad Doesn't necessarily make him ready for men's championship football. There's a big difference. I don't think it's a case of us not 'rating him' as highly as England, he's only 18 and has Bryan ahead of him who's improved this season and is clearly highly rated. Looks like Joe Bryan is going to be hard pushed for his starting spot though which is great to see. Exciting to see us with two young academy graduates competing for that spot. It's a bit of a specialist position and teams pay big money for young English left backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly is flavour of the month , how long before he's shipped out to Rochdale ? Other clubs play champ or prem blood youngsters into their teams I think it's the history of the club , we've nearly always been either pushing for promotion from the third division or battling relegation from the Second . We rarely have a quiet moment whereby we could introduce academy players into a less pressurised situation without the worry that they would crack or through inexperience lose us games. The solution the club always looked for was proven , ahem , quality to help the cause . The youngsters weren't trusted enough or maybe weren't good enough . We have upped the quality now and finally it looks like paying off. An interesting time to be a City supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried Telford FC'S Twitter which led me to an audio only commentary on live sports fm but it lost signal after a minute or so. England were 3-0 up with 20mins to go but did not catch any team details. Hope he got some minutes at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
