Under 21s Under 21s 2024/25

Golding looks shite.

He had some good moments early on.

 

[Brown Nose]

He had some good moments early on.

No wonder he had an exciting highlight reel on YouTube when we signed him. He does some nice things for about 5% of the time and is infuriating for 95%. Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt as he's returning from injury but, on this evidence, he's £5m wasted.

 

[homer]

It’s actually getting worse….

 

[homer]

The awful Golding off, Blue Mongy on

 

[Jeff]

2-0

 

[homer]

Looks like Cooper coaches the back four

Hilariously shit

 

[Jeff]

3-0

 

[homer]

Oh deary me

That left back is horrific

 

[Funky Fox]

Northampton have a tasty player on the right side with his throw-ins

Think he's got a girlfriend, mate

This the second string for the side that just got knocked out of the FA Cup by Kettering that we’ve been battered by?

Yes.

 

[Jeff]

Yes.

But it's not just our under 21s who struggle against lower division teams. A lot of the players at Premier League academies, even at the big clubs, will not be good enough for a career at a decent level. And the best players at under 21 level are usually out on loan.

Tonight's results in the BS Trophy:

 

[Volpone]

Only 3% of elite academy players ever play a single minute of top flight football.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Yes.

Alright, cool. Future’s bright then

 

[alex]

Great learning for them.

 

[Jeff]

Great learning for them.

We're allowed to play two over aged players in these games, so it might be beneficial to have an experienced player on the pitch with them, coaching them during the game. That could be a job for someone like Andy King.

Totally agree.

 

[City Fan]

Sounds like every goal was conceded the exact same way as every other goal, i.e. just general poor defending or summat.

Cooper out.

And then they get sold by Chelsea
