Email me. DUH!! Seriously though, it's a shame if I don't see it on Facebook I've got no chance. Even then they could have done it on say Friday and given me a chance to see it. I don't get to my phone until about 5 and that is if I go on FB. Why not an email to members and ST holders?

HLR Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Coventry much the better side tonight and deservedly won by a decent margin. We managed very little in the way of testing efforts, their keeper had very little to do all game. Waggy floated in and out of the game, took couple of hits early on which never seemingly recovered from. Ayling looks rusty and looks to need game time. Williams looked lost a LB. Morrell best of full time 21's, showed real glimpses of quality at times. Nice to see LJ, Pembo and a handful of first team squad there too to support the youngsters - nice touch.

wayne allisons tongues Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Why have the u21 results gone downhill lately. Couple of months ago people were hinting because sc had gone and now playing with freedom results were improving. What's holding them back now?

Not everyone uses Facebook and Twitter, surely if even 5 more people thought of attending the u21 game last night because of a quick weekly email to the database once a week it's worth doing imo. I do think though it's an area that's really improved over the last 18 months, I'm not a rugby fan or a follower of the women's side but still see how they are getting on as the Bristol Sport social media sites report on all the teams pretty well.

If putting it on every official club media outlet isn't enough to keep you informed as 'it's not in your mind' to look up when the games are, I'd say you're probably not that interested anyway!

I didn't know i was interested until I knew it was at the Gate! It'd have been nice to see some of the younger ones. They send me an email when they want more money but they don't send me one saying I can watch the kids for free. They could do more even if they've done enough in most of your minds. They've also posted it 5 hours before kickoff which is my biggest gripe. Post it the day before at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always do more. But if you wanted to take an interest in the Under-21s, so could you. Ok you might not have known they were playing today until 5 hours before, but I'm guessing you knew we had an Under-21 team before that and their fixture list has been in pretty plain view on the website and programme all season...

miketh2nd Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'd be tempted to pop to a few u21 games if it didn't fall on a Monday night when I play 5 a side . Really shouldn't matter about the results but the performance although of course won't do the team any good if constantly thrashed. Out of interrest those that do go regularly would you say the standard has upped since having academy cat 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree to an extent fella. The Academy should have more exposure and articles and videos with the people their. The Academy website is a complete waste of time imo. Updates would be good. I know it's on the main website, twitter and there are match reports. I do agree more could be done. We are after all...A club not just a first team. I personally get more from watching development football than I do the first team. I'm in a small minority I know...but it's great watching players develop and improve week in week out.

Would be really good to have more videos and exposure, that interview with Wade earlier this season was great. At a hunch, I would guess him and LJ get on well. Similar ages, both midfielders, both reasonably short(!). Good to hear that LJ attended last night. Would be good to get some continuity with the academy, wonder if Wade will be poached wherever SC ends up next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I can't see Wade going anywhere fella...I'd be really surprised, unless he wanted to of course. I can see things turning better for BT now SC has gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well, The Academy supporters are a tadge quiet today. So, we now have a manager, Director of Operations, Club fully behind 'progression' and a 'pathway', morale with the 'graduates' should be at an all time high. Yet, this week a 'graduate starlet' moves permanently to Bath City following a well-worn 'pathway', our development squad get hammered by Col. Utd and Coventry City, our Academy Manager leaves. So what's the excuse this week? We fielded a team of under 9's against adults, they had more first team squad members than us (we had 3) .....? Seriously, The Academy must be running out of excuses now. A clue. Some chap on his debut from the lower leagues ripped us apart last night. Young, hungry and desperate to succeed no doubt.

I am an Academy supporter and it is really very simple - the club (like always) looks to do things on the cheap. It isn't just about facilities it is down to scouting marketing and coaching. We lag behind because we are and always have been shite in these areas. If Mr Lansdown wants to generate talent from within then he needs to compete and to do that he needs to invest.

The difference being...you have the likes of Kodjia being technically inept...yet still able to score a good amount of goals in the Championship. Forget the result...the team playing tonight are never going to play together in the Championship. It's individual performances that will get noticed over a season....not the academy 'team'. It's decision making, performances by the individual that will get noticed over a period of time....and whether they can step up to the next level. Too much is defined by results....I can gaurentee that the majority of tonights Coventry team wont make it....yet they still won 4-0....so what? As a scout or coach, you look at personal development, not 'team' performance. Get down there and watch for yourself...you might then see the difference.
