SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 12, 2015

Charlton's goalkeeper scored from his own box yesterday apparently

AndyM · Apr 13, 2015

Yes, that's correct. His long kick carried and Jake Richards misjudged the bounce.

Coventry City Football Club have signed up 10 first-year Academy scholars who will join the City Under-18s squad next season.

Reece Ford, Dan Smith, Konrad Skuza, Chris Camwell, Kyle Finn and Tom Bayliss are the Sky Blues’ own products and have gone through the youth programme, while Ronee Hendricks, Dagry Mantsouga and Jak Hickman are welcomed from West Bromwich Albion. Jordan Thompson is also welcomed from Premier League side Queens Park Rangers.

The players went through their induction at Ryton training ground this week where they met the City Under-18s coach Jason Farndon and were talked through their LFE programme by Head of Education and Welfare Rob Heath.

Academy Manager Richard Stevens, who has witnessed the players’ progression over the years, admits he is excited by the group and also praised the role of Head of Academy Recruitment Carl McNally in helping bring in four players.

Stevens added: “I think we’re bringing a really exciting group of players for the staff to work with next year.

“Four of them have been at the club since they were seven-years old and we’ve taken four from other clubs, three from West Bromwich Albion. It’s the end of their first journey but it is the start of a completely new one.

“They will be going full-time next season and it will present a different challenge to them. It’s taken us a bit of time to get to where we want to get to but it is a really strong group.

“They’re all hungry to be footballers and the personality is a key feature of what we look for when signing young players. As an Academy, with the players we’ve developed and the players we’ve recruited, we can be really pleased. Carl McNally put in a lot of work identifying the types of players we needed and I think the club will benefit from the recruitment process we’ve now put in place.”

Also, Darragh Leahy played a full 90 minutes in Ireland's U17 0-0 draw against Holland

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 14, 2016

Lee Carsley is currently working with the U18's, not sure if it's permanent or temporary though. Did a really good job at Brentford.

I like Lee Carsley I hope he stays involved with the club.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 15, 2016

U18's play Crewe this week at home. Quite a big game as we are 6 points behind them having played a game less. By the way, AGSB15 and AndyM, do you know the situation with Ben Stevenson? I know he's not at U18 level anymore but he isn't featuring for the U21s either. Is he injured? As far as I know he made the bench against Northampton but hasn't been mentioned since then.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 25, 2016

1-0, Sambou

coop · Jan 25, 2016

It's about time he got a decent go in the first team or at least training with them the lad is on fire and the same age as arma I think.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 25, 2016

Now 2-0 up, Jordan Shipley with a great strike

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 25, 2016

HT 2-0 up. Charlton starting to come back into it.

shmmeee · Jan 25, 2016

Got to chuck Sambou in on the bench. Another goalscorer, more similar in style to Armstrong than MAF or Tudgay. Makes no sense having both MAF and Tudgay on the bench, drop one *cough*MAF*cough* and stick Sambou in.

Londonccfcfan · Jan 25, 2016

Saw him play against Northampton, he's raw but definately there's something special about this kid at this age.

But at the moment rather see George Thomas get a chance ahead of Bassala and like you say in the place of MAF.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 25, 2016

2-1 now. Charlton scored a penalty.

75th min

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 25, 2016

Full time: CCFC 2-1 Charlton. Arsenal at home (hopefully the Ricoh) await in the 5th round.

MusicDating · Jan 25, 2016

FULL-TIME: #CCFCU18s 2-1 [MENTION=5295]CAFC[/MENTION]official. #SkyBlues seal a fifth round tie against @Arsenal after goals from Sambou and Shipley. #PUSB

Cheers for the updates STP
