Our u23s seem to have gone to pot recently. I get our supposed stars have been out all season with Moore and Batanwi, and we've loaned out Obikwu, Rus (permanent move to follow?) and Di Trolio

Seeing our defensive issues I wonder if we'll finally see the legendary Lusala on the pitch

I must admit, Aidan Dausch took me by surprise on the weekend - anyone seen the lad play?

I've noticed the last couple of seasons very little gets released about the U18's. Can almost never find out a line up or who scored about 40% of the goals.

I've got Dausch down as confirmed scoring 8 for the U18's this season, but there's 22 goals I don't know the scorer, so he could have 30 for all I know. Under 21's he's scored 3 in 11 (9) appearances.

Yeah it's very poor. They've even created a cov city academy twitter account but it doesn't release teamsheets or anything just posts a result

Watched him the under 23’s against Bristol City he didn’t get a lot of the ball and was fairly anonymous, but blimey there was a lot of rubbish on that pitch it would be amazing if any make it as pro’s

Don't seem to be working but youth player Rylie siddall announces his turned down a new cov deal to sign for a club in Amercia
It's a university team. Probably the right decision, he wasn't going to make it here.

Poor bastard does have to live in Ohio though.

Probably linked to a funded University degree.

A number of our academy players have gone down this route in the past. It's a great opportunity for young players and can't believe more don't take up this opportunity.

Cian Tyler posted on Instagram he's had more surgery on his wrist and there is no guarantee it will be successful.


Crikey, that's must have been some injury 🤕 I've broken my wrist in past, not had any problems.

Yeah essentially 12 months out. And more surgery now I assume aiming to be back for pre season.

Bear in mind they said the plan was to send him out to a league 1 team this season, that's a rough year

Do you regularly have objects smashed at you at high speed that you need to stop with your hands?

Yes I did, I was a goalkeeper when I was a teenager, I also broke my rest and had an operation on it.

Back playing after 6 months and in them days the ball's were heavier back then, I'm talking about the late 60s
