Just thought i would create a thread about this evenings youth cup match. Team: Mowthorpe, Shaw, Turnbull, Stephens, Young (c), McQueen, Moore, Ward-Prowse, Chambers, Curtis, Sinclair Subs: Chris Johns, Conor O'Sullivan, Harrison Reed, Fraser Colmer, Dominic Gape Kick off at 7pm - follows signings by Lallana, Fonte and Adkins in the megastore. A lot of promissing youngsters in that team, i expect there will be more scouts than fans at the game
I've read that Sheff Utd were last year's runners-up, but just how relevant is that to now? I meam does anyone know if their XI tonight is pretty much the same side which took them to last year's final? Also what round of the cup is this?
Saw the game at Staplewood against Pompey and Sinclair showed some nice touches but was badly abused by their left back with no protection from the linesman or referee. He could be a star of our near future when he toughens up a bit.
Just checked wiki. Sheff utd are 7th in their academy group with 4 wins 3 draws and 5 losses, although it's not totally updated. Also noticed MK Dons have lost 11-3 twice this season!
This won't do any of our lads any harm at all. Wonder if we will see a couple of changes for the second half.
I'm sure Wenger is licking his lips at the pure talent (Golden Generation) coming through These kids are Saints Golden Generation - mark my words
