Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

[coy-spurs1882]

We need to start providing a pathway to the first team. I'd expect we will start losing the talented players if we don't.

we are already losing them, e.g. Edwards, Madueke, Markanday etc

Any of them on spursplay?

I can't find anything. All home U21 games were supposed to be shown, so unless they notify us late it's poor from the club.

If it hasn’t gone through there’s going to be some very disappointed Stevenage fans. They were getting very excited last night.

quick question for the youth watchers, are any of the young defenders anywhere near being able to step into the first team squad in the event of injuries or suspensions? A neighbour of mine keeps raving about Patoski, but, he is a little biased being of Estonian origin!

Paskotsi has had a tough couple of years with heart complications from Covid. Phillips and Dorrington are now probably ahead of him and Sayers.

Ashcroft at right back missed most of last season with injury but has come back strong.

Dorrington, for me, the most ready but still a 40 game loan away development wise.

still a better option than Dier in this system though, rather him or Phillips to be the 4th CB choice behind Sanchez

 

[Westmorlandspur]

In the under 21 games so far this season, Dortington has been really impressive . Pace, bringing the ball out from the back, going on runs up to the opponents area.
it’s only under 21 football but he is looking good.
will be interesting to see this team in the Papa Johns or whatever they call it. Playing against proper teams.

U18s lineup away to Blackburn in the PL Cup. Kicked off at 11am and currently 0-0.

That's because they had no opportunity.

You'd hope so. Some players may not seem ready, but make the step up when thrown in.

 

[mark87]

1-0 up. Irow.

 

[eddiebailey]

Disappointing that we didn’t get more lads out on loan. The older lads need to be experiencing men’s football rather than blocking opportunities for the younger lads coming through. The U21 squad is looking quite bloated.

 

[mark87]

3-0. Two goals in three minutes from Olusesi and Moore puts us firmly in control.

You never know if they're ready until they are out on the pitch. And even then the luck of the game can make or break.

 

[mark87]

FT 3-0 win. Irow, Olusesi and Moore with the goals. Great start to the defense of the U18 PL Cup.

 

[mark87]

Now onto the U21s. Home to Blackburn kicking off at 1pm.

No Phillips? Travelling with the first team maybe?
