Saint Garrett Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC 50s GOAL! #SaintsFC’s Josh Sims puts #EnglandU17s ahead against Holland in the Algarve Tournament. Well done, Josh! I like the sound of this kid from the little I've heard about him.
trousers Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 He looked superb in the SEVEN -NIL drubbing of Pompey, but that's probably not saying much...
doddisalegend Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 Saw him against Pompey, like trousers said pompey were poor, but I thought Josh was the stand out player on the pitch great ball control and fast to.
benjii Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 He looked like one of our best players in the match against Charlton too. A little like Nathan Dyer in style and build. One to keep an eye on f'sure.
Saint_John Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 If you read the FA report it appears he got booked for his boot coming off. http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2014/feb/u17s-out-netherlands-in-the-algarve The spark would eventually come through debutant Josh Sims, although the afternoon started strangely for the Southampton youngster as he was booked for what appeared to be nothing more sinister than his boot coming off on 21 minutes .......and they started with a bang as Sims produced a moment of magic he will remember for many a year. He raced through onto a pass as the defence struggled to catch him, and cut back before finishing right-footed to grab a debut goal on 43 minutes
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 (edited) At 16 Sims has already logged gametime with the U21's and trained several times with the first team as well. EDIT: Although whisper it quietly, I was told he came to us after being at Portsmouth. Edited 26 February, 2014 by Lallana's Left Peg
The Cat Posted 26 February, 2014 Posted 26 February, 2014 At 16 Sims has already logged gametime with the U21's and trained several times with the first team as well. EDIT: Although whisper it quietly, I was told he came to us after being at Portsmouth. He did. Despite being so slight that his shirt always looks 3 sizes too big he has enough pace and skill for it not to matter. Definitely an exciting player to have coming through.
Jez Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Who was the big black left back (number 6 - maybe not a left back) who picked up the ball and beat two men at the beginning of that clip? He looked decent! Good goal though!
Tom28 Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Is anyone else dumbfounded as to why Calum Chambers hasn't been selected in the U21's? He's now a starter for a top 10 PL team and yet he can't make the U21 squad. I thought he was in with an outside chance of a full England call up this week. Very odd.

Tom28 Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Perhaps that is the reason He's been picked to play for the U19's again.
The Cat Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Who was the big black left back (number 6 - maybe not a left back) who picked up the ball and beat two men at the beginning of that clip? He looked decent! Good goal though! Josh Debayo. He joined us from Chelsea youth as a LB but we're playing him CB. Strong, tall, comfortable on the ball. Good player. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/debayo-signs-up-1119175.aspx
Tom28 Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Predictions for Saints call ups today? I'm going with Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert, Shaw and Clyne.
Saint Rees Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Predictions for Saints call ups today? I'm going with Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert, Shaw and Clyne. Agree with this, perhaps not Clyne though. What time roughly is it announced? lunchtime usually isn't it?
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 (edited) Predictions for Saints call ups today? I'm going with Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert, Shaw and Clyne. I think Hodgson is naming a 30 man squad today (?) so wouldn't surprise me to see one or two out of JRod, Shaw, Clyne, Chambers, Cork, JWP named as a result of the extra 7 spaces available. JRod and Shaw the most likely I guess. I think Lallana and Lambert will retain their places (despite Lambert not being 'on fire' for us recently) Edited 27 February, 2014 by trousers
david in sweden Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 (edited) Is anyone else dumbfounded as to why Calum Chambers hasn't been selected in the U21's? He's now a starter for a top 10 PL team and yet he can't make the U21 squad. I thought he was in with an outside chance of a full England call up this week. Very odd. Calum has played for the U19's a dozen times (or so) and is team captain. As Targett, Gallagher and Reed have now been called up; perhaps he's there to help them get established in the squad.? He's undoubtedly capable of moving up to the U21's on a permanent basis and I'd guess that there will be a lot of changes in the England set-up, one way or another....AFTER the World Cup. IMO....the " 100+ cappers " like Cole, Lampard and possibly even Gerrard will disappear, as the next " serious " competition is the Euro. Championships in 2016 - they will definitely be too old for that. Like Luke Shaw, Calum is a great prospect, so I don't see any mad panic to move him up right away - he still has a bit to learn. Edited 27 February, 2014 by david in sweden
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Can't see Clyne making it if he has lost his place in the team to Chambers. Although with a squad size of 30 you never know.
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Anyone know what time the squad is being announced?
Pancake Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Can see only Lallana and Shaw getting the nod this time.
warsash saint Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Can see only Lallana and Shaw getting the nod this time. & in truth they are the only 2 that deserve it.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 February, 2014 Author Posted 27 February, 2014 Lallana and Shaw will be in. Possibly J-Rod and Lambert. Says a lot when an out of form 32 year old is still in a good chance of getting in the England squad!
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/england-squad-announcement-luke-shaw-3187406 Roy Hodgson is likely to give youth a chance when he names an enlarged squad 32-man squad for next Wednesday's home friendly against Denmark at Wembley. A number of younger players have been pushing their claims to be part of the World Cup squad for Brazil in recent months. In particular, Luke Shaw and Raheem Sterling have impressed for their Premier League clubs this season. Nathaniel Clyne and Jon Flanagan may get their first call-ups as cover for Phil Jones and Kyle Walker who are struggling with injuries.
SO16_Saint Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Agree with this, perhaps not Clyne though. What time roughly is it announced? lunchtime usually isn't it? Anyone know what time the squad is being announced? 15:00
verlaine1979 Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Who was the big black left back (number 6 - maybe not a left back) who picked up the ball and beat two men at the beginning of that clip? He looked decent! Good goal though! Yup, lovely bit of composure and skill to start the move.

trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Schniederlin not named in French squad (now, there's a surprise)
Chez Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Schniederlin not named in French squad (now, there's a surprise) boy, they must have some bloody good players at CM?
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 boy, they must have some bloody good players at CM? Lloris, Mandanda, Ruffier Debuchy, Digne, Evra, Koscielny, Mangala, Sagna, Sakho, Varane Cabaye, Attic, Matuidi, Mavuba, Pogba, Sissoko Benzema, Giroud, Griezmann Payet, Remy, Ribery, Valbuena.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Lloris, Mandanda, Ruffier Debuchy, Digne, Evra, Koscielny, Mangala, Sagna, Sakho, Varane Cabaye, Grenier, Matuidi, Mavuba, Pogba, Sissoko Benzema, Giroud, Griezmann Payet, Remy, Ribery, Valbuena. Morgan is off of their radar and will be until he gets a move to a club that the FFF staff respect, there is no mystery, he's a better player than Grenier,Sissoko or Mavuba but DD won't pick anyone from a club that he sees as second rate.
Bearsy Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 we tried to sign Attic in the summer but he turned us down. He had more lofty ambitions.

pangy Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 France have even left Nasri out,I know he has just come back from injury but still a class player
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 France have even left Nasri out,I know he has just come back from injury but still a class player Must be crap then as they've actually included 2 players who are injured in their selection, it's all about bizzybizz with them.
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Luke Shaw NOT in U21 squad... (Ward-Prowse is though)
Hatch Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 http://www.thefa.com/news/england/under-21/2014/feb/squad-named-for-wales-at-derby-270214 probably half an hour late, but I'm not reading the whole trhead JWP in u21s
igsey Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 France have even left Nasri out,I know he has just come back from injury but still a class player If Nasri can't even get in then Morgan had no chance.
pangy Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster, Ben Foster, Joe Hart, John Ruddy; Defenders: Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Steven Caulker, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker; Midfielders: Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere; Forwards: Jermain Defoe, Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Welbeck.
trousers Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Surely he'll take 1 strong striker to the WC? It's Lambert or Carroll, and Carroll isn't even in a squad of 30. So I think it's Lambert bar injury. Could motivate him, could make him a bit wary. I mean would you go into headers and challenges with quite the same commitment if your one chance of a World Cup is on the line? It's a fine line.... if holds back too much Rickie won't look as impressive over the remaining games as an 'all guns blazing' Andy Carroll....
Window Cleaner Posted 27 February, 2014 Posted 27 February, 2014 Squad of 30 to which you have to add Jagielka and Phil Jones so at least 9 of these players won't be making the final 23, some of those are quite evident others not so much so players can't really slack off too much in the remaining PL fixtures.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 February, 2014 Author Posted 27 February, 2014 Bold players surely wont actually go? Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster, Ben Foster, Joe Hart, John Ruddy; Defenders: Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Steven Caulker, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker; Midfielders: Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Frank Lampard, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Raheem Sterling, Andros Townsend, Jack Wilshere; Forwards: Jermain Defoe, Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Welbeck. Jagielka and Jones in for Smalling and one of midfielders. Would be surprised if JRod goes to the WC too.
