Had missed this, very pleased with this change as have been a vocal supporter of this for years. The average age of a prem debut is 23.6 (roughly) amd so considering players in development only up until 21 doesn't make sense.

ACADEMY | Full time in behind closed doors friendly at Birmingham and 1-0 win for Under 21s. @ryan_leak the scorer.

Conor Hunte's free kick...

 

[machin05]

Cracking strike.

 

[YoungWolf]

0-0 at half time in the game against Villa for the u23s.. Dicko hit the post.

 

[YoungWolf]

Ennis replaces Dicko. Great for him to get 45 minutes.

 

[darlowolf64]

U18's won their first game of the new season on Saturday, a 5-2 victory over Sunderland

Report by Villa. Says Dicko had 45 minutes.

Squad for West Ham Game tonight

SQUAD: Burgoyne, Beasley, Simpson, Deslandes, Odoffin, Hayden, Johnson, Leak, Ronan, Herc Finnie, McKenna, Gibbs-White, Wilson, Delacoe, Dicko, Ennis, Enobakhare

Dicko getting another run out. I am guessing they will want to push him as close to a full game as possible now. Still no Silvio.

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah Dicko said this week that he was meant to do 75 minutes last time by got cramp and his next aim is 90 minutes

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

2-2, Herc and a Gibbs-White injury time equaliser.

West Ham included Oxford, Feghouli and Fernandes so a good result.

 

[Tony Towner]

Gibbs-White is 16 and has scored twice this year for the U23's.

 

[Carrotdude]

I've heard lots of good things about Herc, I think he's only 17 too

 

[YoungWolf]

Gibbs-White always makes the England squad too for his age group- very highly rated. Herc did very well in an international tournament recently.

With what is a huge squad I worry about opportunities for the youngsters but those two, Ennis, Ronan and Bright are certainly doing well wnough to be considered at some point.

 

[Lycan]

Some lovely attacking football from both sides.

 

[YoungWolf]

You can see why our u23 games at the moment are so highscoring. Ronan-Herc-Gibbs-White-Wilson with Dicko/Ennis and Bright in front is ridiculously attacking.

Herc is doing himself no harm at the moment, he looks quality. Bright and Ronan for me have to be given a chance at some point this season - both so talented. You can see why they were all so excited about this group in the past couple of years.
