Academy report

[Bergen Blade]

I went up to Shirecliffe to watch the U18s play Everton before the Tranmere game and wrote a report on the Scandinavian Blades website. It's nothing like Deadbat's, but there are some quick impressions of the players if anyone's interested.

Here's a couple of short videos as well:

Cheers Bergen, was hoping to get up myself but couldn't make it.

 

[Pedders]

Cheers Bergen, Not been to see the youth team this season, Sounds like we've got a few decent prospects coming through, Hoping we see them in the first team sometime in the near future!

 

[Balham]

Cheers Bergen, always good to hear a more neutral view on the Academy.

Anyone know if the bloke stood on the roof is filming the game for analysis?

Where was GK George Willis?
Had he already left for the England U17's squad? Playing tomorrow I understand v Georgia

Cheers Bergen, always read this type of post with interest.

Willis was on the bench I think; Long still qualifies for the U18s so was picked to get some game time.

Willis is the guy who's gets in my way on the first video. I suppose Long needed a game and Willis wouldn't risk getting an injury ahead of the tournament.

For sure. They had at least three guys filming the matches.

Willis was gutted not to be playing that morning, he wasn't happy at all to be left out. It was to get Long game time before Willis went away with England.

I thought it was you with the camera when I was there Bergen, I was about 7 or 8 people down the line from you, towards the corner flag.

I agree with everything in your report and what you said about our players.
