Development/Youth Squads 2024/2025 Thread - U18/U21

[Ric Flair]

The likes of Zach Booth, Pennant, Ali, Amartey and Ewing are on the bench.

 

Lindsay, Grist, Cartwright, Raikhy, Richards, Popov all playing.

 

No sign of the promising U18s in Jake Evans, Monga, Hutchinson, King etc.

Popov no9?

 

Not as au fait with the 23 team and below as I once was.

 

Booth the kid that played a season in the Eredivisie last season?

Interesting, you would assume by that, pennant, popov and Richards signed their deals?

Yeah that's Popov

Zac Booth best player on the pitch, just scored a ripper.

Big style. Looks head and shoulders above everyone else in the match

Disgusting if Sammy B gets no minutes against Shrewsbury, should have gone to Barwell, the lad needs game time.

It's one game.

Good to be with the first team and may get minutes next time round. 

 

He probably will learn more everytime he trains with the first team than play against a team of Barwell's standard. 

 

He's way past that, and missing nothing in his development not playing against Barwell.

Jake Evans was released ages ago

That's Reece Evans is it not? Jake Evans is the left footed winger who's extremely highly rated and scored twice to win the U16 PL Cup?? If we've released him then that's outrageous.

Reece Evans was named on the scholars list last month

I assume Popov, Richards, and Pennant have all signed new deals if they were involved last night

He hasn’t been released 👍

 

Just posted on his Instagram with a city training top on and the caption “pre season”

Apologies

Replying on your phone without your glasses is a recipe for disaster

Wouldn’t want him playing on a plastic pitch given his previous injury to be honest 

[GingerrrFox]

Why did we release Reece Evans? Last I heard he was shaping up to be a striker with real potential?

Most pitches are made up of synthetic materials to an extent.

Leicester use a hybrid pitch and have done for years , Part grass and part synthetic fibres.

About 3% synthetic fibres.

Barwell’s pitch is 4G

Realistically you’d think zac booth should be training with the first team squad?? He better be going out back on loan seems a waste him being with the u21s when he’s just had some good game time in men’s football last season

Agreed. The difference between him and his team mates on Tuesday was there for all to see. If he's not going to be around the first team squad, then he needs loaning out again - or dare I say it, selling.

 

Personally, I'd have him around the first team. At least in the short term while we're still short of a few bodies.

That's a decent move for him. They've some good young players coming through to play alongside.
