Out of our Double u18's winning side

[bertieblade]

Hawkes seems to have a touch of Roy Keane about him

Only if they have access to a De Lorean ??

Wilder the time lord now?

Should have read 2020

Let's be fair - it's impossible to tell at that age. Players you don't rate can kick on, whilst those who look the best can hit a ceiling.

The one thing I would say it that those who lack athleticism need to be exceptionally skilful to survive in the professional game. I've seen some wonderful technical footballers in the reserves who just don't cut it with the big boys - Graham Anthony and Connor Dimaio spring to mind. Whereas a player like Jagielka (and perhaps Ben Whiteman?), didn't always look the best on the ball but were clearly gifted with a good footballer's physique.

In other words, Little Louis is destined for non-league. Sorry Bladey Boybanders, but he is.

And Cammy Hawkes is another. Does the dirty side of the game and does it very well.

Was it him who knocked the keeper over?​

I have watched this kid twice now and can see why the club have released all the other young left backs to make a pathway for him to try and get in the first team squad. Harsh on Alex Brown and Graham Kelly but that's football.

Well larkymasher we all know that you are the young Callum semples dad that's why you spend all you tweets talking about him and you also know too much about the 18 and 23

The boy must have 2 dads then and since I have watched a lot of under 23 and 18s games this season do I qualify as number 3?

 

[larkymasher]

Damn it. My cover has been blown.

Redandwhiteblade........... you only had to ask. I think you are number 235 to have figured it out. You have just won Tunstall Fred £5

A quick thanks to all the posters (Larky, Treeton, Baw Heid, Ball Sup, etc.) who keep us updated on U18's and U23's players. I get to a few games a season, and always really enjoy it. Must admit I have a soft spot for our youngsters, most of whom give it a real good go, must be the paternal instincts in me.

So based on your only 2 posts ever........ You also have an obvious interest at the academy?

Glad to pass on what I see of our young ones. Looks like we have Mystic Meg on, incognito, so predictions will be interesting.

Damn it. My cover has been blown.

Davies had a great first half, looked quick, energetic, bombed forward and delivered quality crosses. Quite a long throw as well.

 

[Bergen Blade]

Tyler Smith had a good game, especially second half, and up against physically bigger players showed good strength to go with his undoubted talent.

One of not very many with good pace, hope he continues to develop.
