Thought he'd have gone slightly higher. But fairly highly thought of and gives him 6 months now of mens footy to come back in Jan, and probably loaned higher for end of season

Probably because we're sending all our good kids out on loan.

U21s playing Blackburn tonight in Leamington. First I've heard. No idea why they are so bad at publicising these fixtures

Weird isn't it. After the success of the summer it was a chance to hit the ground running but complete radio silence

Not even anything on the Leamington website

They went one-nil up through George Shepherd a little while ago - his first at this level.
George is probably the youngest in the squad and was playing for the u16s until very recently.
He's the son of former Cov Rugby winger Ben Shepherd (and I know his mum and dad are pleased as punch!)
He's another Bilton School product alongside Josh Eccles.

Blackburn equalised in the last seconds of added time.

He's promising enough. Plenty of time too, given his age. Some of the videos Ben shares are pretty impressive.
Apart from removing the lads that were released, they haven't even updated the U21 or U18 pages on the website.

It’s on purpose. The club have decided to report as little as possible about the U21s and Youth team in some bizarre effort to stop youngsters getting poached.
As if there aren’t scouts at every U18 and U16 game Cov will play all season long.

Yeah it seems tactical doesn't it. Don't tell anyone Dausch has scored a goal as scouts are sitting on our Coventry academy handle awaiting updates!

I know there's at least one, maybe two posters on this forum who have been asked to delete posts about the academy and academy games because the club claim it breaches safeguarding
I wish I was joking.

Made his debut for the U21's last night at Leam. Came on as sub and did well. Drew 1-1. Hopefully a lot more to come.
