cidered abroad Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 I have some good memories from the previous Youth Cup games a long time ago and appreciate the players who made it to our first team. Unable to watch or even listen to commentary but from the comments from almost everyone in this thread, the under 18's squad and coaches have done a very good job with a group of boys who hopefully, will make it to City's first team. So thank you under 18's for making it so far in the Youth Cup and best wishes for the rest of your careers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 10 hours ago, Shuffle said: I agree and Meerholz has a bit of everything to be successful & be good to see him introduced this season. Also really like Anderson and Campbell Slowey who both have really good chances of being a success here. Congratulations to everyone involved with 18s as a great campaign. Meerholz has got that bit of something hasn’t he? I like both TA and JCS too. Hewlett is gonna be an interesting one, not just because of his dad, but because the way we play. He’s a bit “missed out”, but he does all the basics really, really well. Duncan is the other. But the route to first team football is a tough one for a young keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as that seems about a lifetime away, it makes me feel older than I am. I hope the son will make the grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I wonder now the U18s have had some good press and the U21s are famed as part of the "pathway", they will actually get some content on the OS. I take it they employ people on a full time basis , that we have a media department that runs more than mon/fri 8-5 . I went on to look at the U18 page. We have a dropdown link to the 'Academy' , which is U21s page , scant details on players there either. I don't think it's me not looking properly , but there is an U18s page https://www.bcfc.co.uk/teams/mens-under-18s/ If you want info on Joe Duncan , you're out of luck there too. It would take maybe a couple of hours to do Bios for the lot of them , just basic stuff. Once the pages are done a few minutes to update , but nothing. The entire content seems to be via Tweets, specially poor as the U18s have reached the semi final this year and the U21s have been doing really well for some time. Then add that many of them have been on the bench at times and a lot of fans wouldn't know anything about them . Frustrating and very tinpot IMO. I will take it back if I have missed the link, but not the virtual total lack of content. Now them deem fit to put the Micky Bell info on the OS at least. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/video/interviews/micky-bell-proud-of-young-robins/ and a report of the game https://www.bcfc.co.uk/academy-news/report-manchester-city-u18s-1-0-bristol-city-u18s/ Probably more than they have done for the rest of the season. I don't think they even consider that more coverage would lead to more interest and possibly more actually watching. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thank you under 18's for making it so far in the Youth Cup and best wishes for the rest of your careers. Obviously too late for this season, but the game was available to watch on FA Player. It requires just a basic task of registering - I'm not sure, but I think I registered originally in order to watch some of the England women's matches. Feel free to send me a PM should you require some guidance. Edited April 3 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the incompetent way most of the club’s media is run my tendency is to assume the lack of info is down to insufficient staff or organisation, however I do wonder whether with U18s there are potential safeguarding implications of providing even a name and photo until their 18th birthdays.

It's possible. Don't know if you've noticed but the club sometimes tweet pictures of the younger lads signing academy forms, and the caption is always something like "another young prospect signs up", but they never name the player (though often there'll be a reply or retweet from someone who knows them and will give a name).
