    The under 18s were always going to find this season a hard one. There were 7 pro's taken from the previous second year scholars group compared to only 3 this year. Out of the 3 taken, both Eccles and Stedman missed a large chunk through injury and the other, Green, playing more for the 23's...

    Well its that sort of joke behaviour last season that gave us Tom Bayliss this season, I'm sure we'd all rather win than lose, not sure we should be overly bothered by the results of these "Development" games

    The under 18s got their first draw of the season in a 1-1 draw away at Huddersfield Town yesterday. The goal was scored by Jack Burroughs after some fantastic team work (unfortunately not captured on this video) involving George Hunt and Jonathan Ngandu, a nice composed finish

    Bayliss etc

    I don’t totally agree with this, yes it’s obviously easier than producing premier league players, but the challenges of league 2 are not as easy to drop kids in to. Technically yes, physically it’s tough, Bayliss like many is still physically developing and it’s a big ask for him and the likes...

    Scouting report: We run the rule over the best talent in the Under 18s Don’t necessarily agree with all of Andy Turners assessments but the interesting part for me is that all of the names mentioned are 1st year scholars (under 17s)

    This weeks big game v Villa

    The Villa Academy operates out of the very impressive Bodymoor Heath which is their main training ground. Their Academy budget will be 4-5 times that of ours and they should be significantly better than they are. On the plus side HS2 is supposed to be going straight through it, so lots of...

    Sturridge was actually bought from Villa. A great purchased but a quick cash in after a couple of years. I think he’d still be the same player had he stayed, did Man City make him better, yes of course but then he would have made the first team with us a lot earlier and that too would have made...
