Under 21s Under 21s 2024/25

[Micky]

Another one we'll probably lose soon, following Nyoni (Liverpool) and Noubissie (Man City).

Yep, they are raving about him.

An easy win for the U21's tonight beating Stoke City 4-0 all goals within 36 minutes

EDIT to placate Mr Pedantic

What, they just stopped the game? Didn’t even finish the first half?

 

[Jeff]

A goal down at bottom of the table Blackburn

 

[Brown Nose]

No Alves again.

If he's not going to get minutes in the first team and he wasn't allowed to go on loan and he isn't part of the U21s, how is he supposed to develop?

We're killing his career. No wonder promising kids are leaving us when other clubs come in for them.

Players from both sides sent off
Missed that
Saw the Pennant goal and then lost signal

Welcome to Cooperworld

Aye he got heaps of minutes last season didn’t he. Yes he was injured for spells, but didn’t get a sniff when he wasn’t.

Would have been an ideal breeding ground, the Championship.

He was injured until December. Got injured again almost immediately. He came back again in February and got injured after a couple of U21 games. He returned again in April. Hopefully he's now fit enough to play for the first team, he wasn't fit enough last season.

Playing Forest tonight and losing 1-0
Alves in the team for a change

 

[Funky Fox]

Half time report​

Limited impact from Alves​

He's got on the ball a fair amount, but he's found it difficult to have too great an impact so far.

The Forest midfielders are sticking tightly to him so while he twists and turns and looks for a route forward to connect the attack, he's not finding a way through just yet. He's dropping deep to get the ball and will want to make an impact in the second half.

 

[Jeff]

The under 21s are 2-0 up against Villa. 15 year old Jeremy Monga got the first goal.

 

[Funky Fox]

Won 3-1
Monga came off after 54 minutes
Alves played as well for 61 minutes which makes it 80 odd minutes in 3 days for him.

Someone called Waghorn is on the bench for Northampton v our under 21s tonight...

Kick off 7PM, on Sky+

As usual the club is pretending this match isn't happening, so no team news yet.

What’s the situation with young Braybrooke?
Is he injured again?

What’s the situation with young Braybrooke?
Is he injured again?

He's on loan at Dundee.

1-0 down - it’s a match on Sky Sports Plus if anyone’s interested

Missed the goal

It’s Sunday League standard so far, to be honest

 

[Brown Nose]

HT

The standard is awful.

We've had almost all the possession and it's passing for the sake of it. The players don't really seem to give a feck. So much lazy football.

Alves is clearly our best player but he's overplaying. Golding looks shite. Our central defenders are horrific. The formation makes no sense.

U21 football is the place where talent goes to die.

I'll stick with it to see Monga come off the bench in the second half. See him in a City shirt whilst you can as he'll be poached in the summer.

Scoop!

We started pretty well, dominated possession and Alves and Golding looked dangerous. But when Northampton had the occasional attack our defence struggled. They had one good chance that our keeper did well to save, then another when the keeper was way out of his goal, but the Northampton player tried to pass it instead of shooting.
