Martyn Hocking Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just reading the Under-18s match report - sounds like a great performance to beat the top team in the league away from home. We have a kid called Scott Wilson who has scored 16 goals for us at a ratio of approximately a goal a game in a good quality league featuring youth teams from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has seen him play - what sort of striker is he (big, small, quick etc) and how likely is he to make it into the first team?

fka dagest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I recall that Marlon Jackson had an impressive record at that level, but he now seems to have hit the buffers Although I don't watch Academy football, I try to follow it. It always seems to me that we can match most teams up to about u-18s, but then something goes wrong between that point and the first team. Is that fair? If so, what goes wrong?

bristolcitysweden Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The problem is that they never get a fair chance at senior level. In the prem. they do but not at championship level. You need to have zero understanding of the game and run around like a headless chicken. If not you are OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Definitely looks like one for the future. I really believe we should use our academy players more as it seems to work for other teams in this league. I'd of put Jackson on for the last few minutes today also and he'd want to prove a point for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Wilson, Holloway, Bobby M and any other talented kid we got in the U19's get given a chance at some point next year. These kids got to know (if their good enough obviously) that they WILL be given chance in the first team. Weather Milly would be one to pick promising kids remains to be seen, but we must start bringing some through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one that gave Ribeiro his big chance last year against Newcastle and I've heard Joe Edwards has done good for Bath so possibly a future appearance for him soon?

redpole Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've heard that Stoke have asked city to name there price for bobby m and holloway. City old youth team coach is now at Stoke and has told them about these two. Hopefully they will stick around in a team that doesn't give youth a chance!

bristolcitysweden Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 A good deal of the prem clubs got scouts concentrating only on age group 15-18 in Sweden.

bristolcitysweden Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Even Rovers scouted in Sweden as early as in the beginning of the eightees.

SC_Red Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The story about why England constantly are being world champions except for four weeks every fourth year? have I walked into an episode of 321? you seem to be claiming there are better players in Sweden than we have over here who would play for a lot less money. If thats true why are clubs scouting them but not bringing them over? and where were Sweden in the 2010 world cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Exactly. Not as under GJ when we had eight games to go of the season meaning nothing and he still played the crap. thats was shocking although he was still labouring under the delusion that we could make the play offs. playing bola when yhe was definately off and not giving any young/fringe players a go hacked me right off.

If thats true why are clubs scouting them but not bringing them over? and where were Sweden in the 2010 world cup? I'll bite til it crack! For Championship level at least that would be truth. I would say 25 percent of the players in Allsvenskan (our prem.) is better than the players in the Championship. And they are on 1/4 of the sallary. They would of course claim a fair sallary but the signing on fee would be lower than from a British club. Sorry we missed out after qualifying twelv times on a trot with a population of 9 million. Having abandoned the "British school" and now going for younger and more gifted players I believe we will make a great comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get on in France 98? Other countries than England. Would say that at least our 50 best players would make the Championship without a problem and a lot of them are young players. Six on a trot then The last time you beat us was in the early sixtees I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
