S-Clarke Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 As above really, but this is the full squad - Goalkeepers Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham), Jonathan Bond (Watford), Jack Butland (Stoke City) Defenders Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Carl Jenkinson (Arsenal, on loan at West Ham United), Michael Keane (Burnley), Liam Moore (Leicester City), John Stones (Everton), Matt Targett (Southampton) Midfielders Tom Carroll (Tottenham Hotspur, on loan at Swansea City), Nathaniel Chalobah (Chelsea), Will Hughes (Derby County), Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton & Hove Albion), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Alex Pritchard (Tottenham Hotspur), Nathan Redmond (Norwich City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) Forwards Benik Afobe (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Patrick Bamford (Chelsea, on loan at Middlesbrough), Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Danny Ings (Burnley), Cauley Woodrow (Fulham) Not a bad squad all being told - but would have liked to see Barkley included, don't see why he couldn't have been. Luke Shaw wasn't selected because of on-going concerns over his fitness, even though he wanted to go. Oh well, what a season he's had. His place in the squad seemingly taken by our other young academy left back....
John Boy Saint Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 That looks like a myriad of lethal front line combinations to call on. Good Luck Matt and James
Batman Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 if that forward line clicks, it could be lethal. some serious amount of goal with that lot
S-Clarke Posted 20 May, 2015 Author Posted 20 May, 2015 That looks like a myriad of lethal front line combinations to call on. Good Luck Matt and James Yeah, for that level the front players are incredibly impressive. Should be plenty of goals in that lot.
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 Yeah, for that level the front players are incredibly impressive. Should be plenty of goals in that lot. That midfield is reasonably impressive aswell, considering it could have included sterling, barkley and ox. Still unsure where the senior cb replacements are going to come from. Stones is ok, dier looks a bit dodgy whenever I see him CB. Im comfortable with Chambers but think he needs to play more. None of which look to be a replacement for Terry or even cahill
Patrick Bateman Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 Bloody hell, that's a serious U21 squad, fair play!! Will be really interesting to watch their progress - I can see a core of these players forming a decent England team in the next few years, promising!

Will be really interesting to watch their progress - I can see a core of these players forming a decent England team in the next few years, promising! Yes but inevitably that team will be poorly managed and have no playing identity whatsoever. Fair play to Targett - quick rise through the ranks for him. The coaches must rate him. Can't believe Jenkinson is still U21, he seems to have been around for ages.
simo Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 Hasn't Ward-Prowse been captain for a while now? Only whwn Butland doesn't play

ART Posted 20 May, 2015 Posted 20 May, 2015 And what about Harrison REED? No one at the Academy deserves a place in the England Under21 Squad than Reed. He's streak ahead of Targett in development but obviously he's being kept out by other players they consider superior.

Hes in the 19's I think and the idea is to try and to keep the ages groups together as best they can now
david in sweden Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 will we expect to see " Prowsie " as team captain for these games ..or ?
simo Posted 25 May, 2015 Posted 25 May, 2015 will we expect to see " Prowsie " as team captain for these games ..or ? Butland
Matthew Le God Posted 2 June, 2015 Posted 2 June, 2015 (edited) Targett and Ward-Prowse are both in the 23 man squad, with Dier, Bamford, Woodrow and Afobe the ones to miss out from the original 27 man squad. Edited 2 June, 2015 by Matthew Le God
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 June, 2015 Posted 2 June, 2015 I think JWP will be a starter but Targett will be Garbutt's understudy.
Matthew Le God Posted 2 June, 2015 Posted 2 June, 2015 Djuricic is in the Serbian squad for the tournament.
SNSUN Posted 2 June, 2015 Posted 2 June, 2015 I'm surprised Southgate cut 3 strikers. Berahino, Ings and Kane are 3 great strikers got the u21s to have, but I'd have taken one more, Afobe or Bamford. Not sure 3 is enough for any tournament.

eelpie Posted 2 June, 2015 Posted 2 June, 2015 That looks like a myriad of lethal front line combinations to call on. Good Luck Matt and James Surprised Charlie Austin wasn't selected.
S-Clarke Posted 2 June, 2015 Author Posted 2 June, 2015 Surprised Charlie Austin wasn't selected. He's 25.....
JRM Posted 3 June, 2015 Posted 3 June, 2015 i don't envy the commentators if an attacking move involves passes between Jake Forster-Caskey, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and James Ward-Prowse
Saint Charlie Posted 3 June, 2015 Posted 3 June, 2015 i don't envy the commentators if an attacking move involves passes between Jake Forster-Caskey, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and James Ward-Prowse Shame that Jordace Holder-Spooner never made it at Saints.
S-Clarke Posted 3 June, 2015 Author Posted 3 June, 2015 Shame that Jordace Holder-Spooner never made it at Saints. Or Josh Dutton-Black

Berahino, Ings and Kane are 3 great strikers got the u21s to have, but I'd have taken one more, Afobe or Bamford. Not sure 3 is enough for any tournament. Surely Bamford was down to injury? He was nursing an ankle injury and even though he played in the PO Final, he obviously wasn't 100%.

bridgeman Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 That's a strong squad. Have England got a realistic chance of winning the cup?
The9 Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 That's a strong squad. Have England got a realistic chance of winning the cup? No, they're always boring and uncreative and usually lose to Germany or Netherlands the first opportunity they get. Kane looked decent last time I watched a couple of years ago, Clyne looked poop. So there you go.

Not being funny, but with the exception of the GK's i'm not far off betting that an 11man team from that squad (under Southgate) would beat a seniors team under Woy....
the saint in winchester Posted 16 June, 2015 Posted 16 June, 2015 Good performance from these lads now and then we will have Roy's replacement ready in waiting. Arise, Sir Gareth.
simo Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 I guess it is just this forum that doesn't rate Jwp , Bit in the sun (yeh yeh I know) reads "Something will have gone very wrong, Or England will have the best Midfield in the world, If this fella does not win 50 senior caps. Southampton ace is a set piece specialist in the Beckham mould"

verlaine1979 Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 I wonder if one of the things that has held back JWP's development (and, if I'm being charitable blunted the contribution of Davis as well) is our conservative, keep-the-ball-at-all-costs tactical approach. Young players like Grealish tend to get attention by doing extravagant things - 40 yard passes with the outside of the boot etc - which carry a much higher risk of losing possession. I have no idea which of those two (or Barkley etc) will turn out better, but between JWP's temperament and our tactics, it's no surprise that some of these other players catch the eye more, even if their teams are less successful as a unit.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 Is the game televised tomorrow? BTSport1 kick off 19:45
the saint in winchester Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 BTSport1 kick off 19:45 ALL games on BT Sport exclusively .... so available in a pub near you.
suewhistle Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 I can't manage two nights in a row: been out watching the girls tonight, and my budget and liver won't stand it..
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 June, 2015 Posted 17 June, 2015 ALL games on BT Sport exclusively .... so available in a pub near you. Or my conservatory with a couple of cans (That's not an invitation)
david in sweden Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I recall Lawrie McMenemy fielded Forbes Phillipson-Masters for a while in the late 70's, but had to drop him because he couldn't pronounce his name in interviews...
the saint in winchester Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 Or my conservatory with a couple of cans (That's not an invitation) That's fine, Whitey, I have BT Sport at home. Now need to get some cans.
Sour Mash Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I thought England looked better while JWP was on the pitch. Small plus point. Decent Portugal team.
derry Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 What a load of shapeless, unimaginative, sterile crap.
Turkish Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I thought England looked better while JWP was on the pitch. Small plus point. Decent Portugal team. Agreed. I thought we looked relatively comfortable with him on the pitch. Was neat and tidy, used the ball well and always available for a pass, went close with the free kick. As soon as he went off Portugal took control, Carroll who was the worst player on the pitch IMO stayed on and JWP came off, strange decision and could well have cost England the game.
Chalkboy Posted 18 June, 2015 Posted 18 June, 2015 I thought England looked better while JWP was on the pitch. Small plus point. Decent Portugal team. I agree, Tom Carroll wasn't in the game, thought it was a strange decision leaving him on whilst taking off JWP. Our midfield in the second half seemed non-existant.
