Thank you Steve, I really appreciate your input regarding the academy.

I know our (excellent) media team is down to a bit of a skeleton crew at the moment, but I do find the lack of academy updates puzzling.

Stevenage going well in League One and in the Youth Alliance, bodes well.

I had the same thought when I saw the table. Them and Wimbledon at the top of both leagues. I suspect that while most youth teams are being taught tippy tappy football, Stevenage and Wimbledon are just taught how to benchpress and sat in front of UFC videos. And will then have very profitable careers bullying lower league jinky boys off the ball for the next 20 years.

Interesting to see Skura and Fink included.

I wonder if Fink was included to try and give him some more confidence. Altho, seeing as tho he didn’t score, could it have been counter-productive?

Skura and Fink? So this is a ‘reserves’ competition rather than a youth team competition?

I’m sure I read somewhere that, for this competition, up to three over age players are permitted. Skura and Fink are only a few years over age. Stuart Moore is at least ten years over.

Certainly not ‘reserves’.

That would make sense wouldn’t it? The same rules as PL clubs abide by in the EFL Trophy.

The Academy lost 3-2 at Exeter City this morning, 1-1 at half-time. Details thanks to ECFC.
