Wonder why Boric isn't being given game time to get fit?!

 

Probably cos he does not fit in to the Southampton Way, and will be leaving us in January.Oh and he's not that good any more! Can see us signing another keeper in January.

I watched the Saints u12s last night and they have a fantastic young lad playing for us - best young lad player I have seen in years. A long way to go for him yet and he has to cope

with body changes but he looks top stuff IMO.

The U21 league is definitely a good step forward but can't help wondering whether the likes of Stephens, Reeves, Hoskins would be better out on loan in L1 playing proper pressure football in front of a crowd?

 

Reeves for example is not overly young in football terms yet has probably two professional starts to his name.

I am not sure as don't get program but played central midfield holding - elegant, sprayed it wide, good engine and great control.

Dan I think was his name.

I do a bit of coaching and help run a team and see quite a few games - this lad looks the best I have seen in ages.

Just confirm Ron, are you really talking about the U12s or the U21s? There seems to be some confusion. I would have thought if you were talking the u21s it would be quite easy to sort out his name, u12s may be different. This is a thread about the u21s so maybe that's why some people are not seeing that you are typing "u12s".

Did Chambers play CB as per team sheet?

 

If so, versatile lad......future utility player as already accomplished Mid Field/Winger/Striker.

 

Hopefully Sinclair is developing into a future first team player..

 

His brother here on loan in a couple of weeks....IF Adam Lallana out much longer...

In addition to Saints and Manu I thought Spurs qualified too! Interesting to see Saints Manu and Spurs were top 3 in both our groups! Spurs were 1st in Under 21's and 3rd in under 18's the opposite of us

Watched on SP - some great footy. Ward Prowse looked class as he should at this level and Ben Reeves seems to have a lot of time and composure on the ball.

 

Only bizarre thing is that we have that agreement with Eastleigh to play u21 games there but the pitch looks awful. Staplewood pitch much better, makes the passing footy from last night an even better achievement.
