Man City how use £11,000 a year private schooling to persuade players and their families to make the move
Haven't heard anything else since then unfortunately. Interesting about McMahon, if true. He hasn't been to any Scotland camps while at Coventry and hasn't stood out massively like say a Maddison did in the U18s.The U18s return to action on Saturday with a home game against Ipswich (noon KO). We beat them 4-2 at their ground a few months back, Jordan Ponticelli with a hat-trick that day.
Our U18s captain Ross McMahon is apparently wanted by many Championship, Premier League and Scottish Premier League clubs. He was signed from Brentford in the summer and has been really impressive for Jason Farndon's side. I believe he has played for Scotland at youth level whilst at Brentford.
Any further information on the U16 player who Arsenal and a host of other clubs apparently want @skyblue93?
Goals 6 & 7 of the campaign for Kyle Finn was enough to make it 10 wins from 16 games for the U18s with a 2-0 win over Ipswich on Saturday
The U23s are away at Watford tomorrow (1pm). Possibly some game time for Nathan Clarke and Kevin Foley considering they're cup tied for Tuesday
youthful side for 23's today
addai
Whitmore Ford Thompson Camwell
Dev KE Maycock Shipley Finn
Sayoud Ponticelli
Also Sam Ricketts is in charge of the team today
Yes Stedman looked very good on Saturday. Small winger with very quick feet linked up very well down right hand side with hickmanThat's 11 U18s in the squad of 16. First year scholar Billy Stedman is on the bench too
will be tough with a young sideShould smash watford today easy bottom of the league!
2016-17 Professional Development League 2 - YouthHawk
Interesting that they've used such a young squad. No Kelly-Evans, Lawton, Finch, Jones, Lameiras, RCC, Harries or Spence.
Looks like Slade may well be rotating the squad for the Checkatrade. Either that or they just need all the bodies they can get at training.
full time 1-1 good result for in effect was our under 18 side with a few 19 year olds against a premier league u23 side. Goes to show how good our 18's are. Ford and Bayliss look real talents to me
Guessing he fancies a move into coaching. The question is are we paying him or not? If he's doing it to get a bit of experience and its not costing us then great, haven't heard anything other than him being a positive influence. If its costing us for him to learn a new job thats probably money better spent elsewhere.On another note, does anyone know what role Sam Ricketts has at the club now he's retired from plajing? He was warming up the defenders pre-match against Bolton but managed the U23s today.
Indeed, valuable experience for them. Thanks for the updates.

To think Elliot and Hoffman wanted to disband itlast time an academy product didn't feature in a match day squad was exactly 7 years ago today against Barnsley at home. One of the only things we can be proud of over the last few years.
To think Elliot and Hoffman wanted to disband it
Is that true?
Yep, it was in some meeting minutes.

Any updates on Sayoud? Coming up to a year since he signed for us, has he made much progress?
EH.. wasn't that system being deployed by the gaffer at the time always thought he looked quite dynamic?He started off very well but hasn't managed to keep them performances up, he has often been dropped from an attacking position to a wing-back position too. I think if there was interest in him they'd try and get him out on loan so he can play in his preferred position more
