Pretty sure 3 of the team never came back from the edge of the pitch. ?

3-1 Markanday

Who will score the first goal at the new stadium in today’s U18 match?

I’m going for Dilan Markanday.

Scored the 3rd goal.

There's probably never a good time to lose the u18 head coach but I wonder if the experience today will have positive impact on the players and hopefully help them finish the season strongly.

Spent most of the game stuffing my face with beer and pies but I was impressed by our U18s today. Really liked the two down the left - Cirkin and Bennet - both look like they have a bright future

 

[Tottenhamboy85]

Was the match streamed in the end?

Don’t think so

 

[edson]

Anybody says we do not have any talent coming through our ranks are mad and you could see that today.

It is a shame that the likes of Parrott and Binks missed the match,Binks for me has been our best player this year for the u18s

Was very impressed how the players handled a big game like that today,Skipp and White dominated the midfield,Bennett and Markanday was a handful,BLF was good without having to do a great deal and Malachi Walcott put in some very solid blocks he is not the best on the ball but he should get better with time.

We could have won this by more but we took our foot off the pedal and it took a good goal from them to wake us up.
Bennett could have had a second and it would have been a top class goal as well Skipp and White linking well in central midfield then a lovely ball put Bennett clear one on one with the keeper but he just put it wide.

Amazing day in a Amazing Stadium and I am happy it was the u18s that got the chance because it gives some of them players a taste of what they could achieve if they put in the hard work and Opportunities come their way.

I think my favourite player on the day was White.

Dominated CM and looked graceful while doing it.

White looking so boyish brings back memories of the late John White.

How cool is it that the U-18 got to kick off the first game at our new stadium. Big moment for the lads

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Anyone able to post a brief player-by-player summary for those of us who couldn't make it?

Looks like the U18 title will go to the wire. Arsenal probably got easier fixtures. But we still have to play them which will probably decide it.

We have away games against Arsenal and Chelsea don't we? Arsenal surely favourites at this point.

The league 'winner' actually plays a one-off match against the winners of the North league to decide who wins the U18 PL. That's currently Derby, with a reasonably lower PPG than either Arsenal or Spurs. You'd have to see the Southern winner as favourites for that game.

 

[coys200]

Oh didn’t know was a play off. Yeah 1 pts behind with game in hand but still have Arsenal a Chelsea a. As said I think the winner of Arsenal game wins it.
