Most goal scorers or really, attacking players tend to struggle when making the step up to u23 at first. Exceptions being someone like Greenwood.2 goals in 10 in the U23s league, is that really true? Thought he'd have more than that.
Greenwood's goal tally isn't that impressive for the U23. Most struggle because they often are poor as a team.Most goal scorers or really, attacking players tend to struggle when making the step up to u23 at first. Exceptions being someone like Greenwood.
I agree with this. Often the u23s is poorly coached, has stagnated players in it or physically under developed players and while there may be long term prospects the team as a whole are exploitable and average.Greenwood's goal tally isn't that impressive for the U23. Most struggle because they often are poor as a team.
Mason got 5 goals in 683 minutes for the u23s, that’s a pretty damn good record and mainly as a first year. He was also miles better than Garnacho.Greenwood's goal tally isn't that impressive for the U23. Most struggle because they often are poor as a team.
I really don't like our current U-23 manager, he comes across as a right moody git.I agree with this. Often the u23s is poorly coached
The ones I remember really impressing in terms of goals for our U23 were Rossi, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Will Keane - maybe I have left someone out - but those 3 really stood out as I recall.Mason got 5 goals in 683 minutes for the u23s, that’s a pretty damn good record and mainly as a first year.

Did James WIlson have a good record?The ones I remember really impressing in terms of goals for our U23 were Rossi, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Will Keane - maybe I have left someone out - but those 3 really stood out as I recall.
He scored three in six games in the 18/19 season. Then he scored two in two in 19/20 where he pretty much also played regularly for the first-team. When he was a first-year he didn't impress much regarding goalscoring, I remember thinking that even... that almost no one impresses that much in the U23 when it comes to goals despite it being a poor league.Mason got 5 goals in 683 minutes for the u23s, that’s a pretty damn good record and mainly as a first year.

Not anything special.Did James WIlson have a good record?

Yeah but then fell off a bit later in the U23. Still one of the best goalscorers we've seen lately. A shame he was so injury-prone too.Wilson scored 7 in 8 starts & 1 sub appearance as a 2nd year u18
Yeah he had a very good record until he moved up to the seniors. He seems to be getting his career back on track to some degree this season at least.Yeah but then fell off a bit later in the U23. Still one of the best goalscorers we've seen lately. A shame he was so injury-prone too.
Seems likely, fair few injuries in the main squad to cover for as well.May be going blind but no Hannibal tonight for the U23s. Been pictured in training all week so with the senior squad tomorrow?
We’re 3 points behind Spurs and Arsenal with 8 games to go. The season isn’t over.Token minutes when the season is over, delightful that.
Suppose it's one way to get fans interested in games as there's not much joy in cheering on proven bottlers.

I agree, but imagine being ove rseas and when the game ends up on MUTV it goes for 4 minutes. Bit hard staying up to midnight as an old fart. I've written to them several times about 4 minute highlights and sorry they can't help.
We also have a harder run to the end whilst Arsenal have a game in hand.We’re 3 points behind Spurs and Arsenal with 8 games to go. The season isn’t over.
does it really matter ? The only thing that matters right now is Forest in the FA Youth Cup final. Would much more prefer if we give a few of these players a chance at first team levelWe also have a harder run to the end whilst Arsenal have a game in hand.
I'd be very impressed if this group manages to find their bollox to get top four, but they won't.
You are correct obviously, but I'd rather have had some of these players in the first team to reward them for hard work and punish the players who are clearly slacking.does it really matter ?

Why does that matter? We were by far the better team and could have scored 3 or 4.Goal was a gift.
We are 6 points behind with 7 to go, and we won 3 out of last 9, so I would not bet that we will even win 6 points till the end of the season, and not win 6 more than SpursWe’re 3 points behind Spurs and Arsenal with 8 games to go. The season isn’t over.
Right. But when I posted we weren’t 6 behind.We are 6 points behind with 7 to go, and we won 3 out of last 9, so I would not bet that we will even win 6 points till the end of the season, and not win 6 more than Spurs
