Interesting to see Orozco in the lineup. It wasn't officially announced yet.
Also Missin has miraculously returned

Finished 1-0 to Altrincham. Missin went off injured after 10 minutes of coming on.

Thanks for the update - that list shows how big the 21s squad is, plus the 5 or so that are with the first team and probably a couple of injuries (Mantato being one), although a small number of those will still be eligible for the 18s. Quite a bit of sorting out to do, and hopefully a lot of them find good homes to develop.
 
Orozco made his debut against Altrincham, didn't play whole match but he apparently did well

Just saw that. Curious to know the Squad of our u15s that played those matches. Perhaps we had some younger group age play?
 
Kid in the middle looks about 8. Then there's a 6ft guy off to the left.

Remarkably, they are brothers. I could be wrong but it looks like Cole & Kobi Marsden-Umebuani. Cole is the bigger one and a year older, Kobi is an U14.
 
21s apparently beat Villa 5-0 in a friendly today. Goals from Missin x2, Obi, Orozco & Ibragimov.
 
The u18s opener vs City on Saturday clashes with the first team (it doesn’t really but the club are incapable of covering 2 things in 1 day) so won’t be shown on MUTV. It didn’t show the derby at the start of last season either.

New season, same old MUTV then. These guys still haven't discovered multiple streams. Another season of delayed full match uploads and bare bones match reports.
 
21s beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 in their final pre-season friendly today. Jack Fletcher x2 & JJ Gabriel. The latter’s goal below, assisted by Tynan Thompson it looks like.

Thats some quick feet, with a nice finish to match

Subs: Irving (GK), Shah, B. Nkoto, Camacho Sidos, DeJonge-Seiros

Good to see/read Nkoto brothers playing
 
16s won 3-2 against Boro, Jaice Dore & Mo Ibragimov scored one each.

This match served as one of their qualifiers for the national finals. If it's the same as last season they'll have two more games.
 
16s beat Newcastle 2-0, Simon Okeke with one of the goals & Jaice Dore with both assists. Think this was another qualifier for the national finals.
 
U17s beat Nottingham Forest in the PL Cup today. Douka Nkoto with 2 goals & 2 assists, Jaume Camacho with a goal and an assist. Not sure what final score was yet.

Brilliant goal. Camacho’s found himself in these sort of areas a number of times this season but hasn’t always got the finish right. If he continues to add goals to his game he becomes a really good prospect.
