U23s

[Globetrotter]

Beat Fulham U23s 1-0 yesterday too, with a few points to note:

 

- Good to see Marcus Barnes and Will Wood back from injury

 

- As suspected, given that he remained with the first team seems like Alfie Jones has now surpassed Jordan Turnbull in the CB pecking order. When you factor in McCarthy and hopefully Wood too, hard to see a future for JB here now...

 

- Gape played - not wanted by Yeovil then?

 

- Will Britt also played, even though I thought he was on the released list a couple of months ago? May have imagined that though...

He was released when his contract expired on 30th June...

But with Harry Lewis with the 1st team, Paulo Gazzaniga out on loan and under under keepers with the under 18s then I guess they have Britt training & playing with the under 23s whilst he finds a new club.

Odd considering we had another gk as an unused sub, surely we'd have played him, especially considering it was a friendly?! (Not that I'm doubting your logic, just seems strange)

Thanks for the update, Trotter.

I tried to find a starting lineup from the game. No luck. Maybe you can help with that info.

Also, you refer to JB. I can't figure out who JB is..

[sambosa75]

Southampton U23s: Will Britt, Richard Bakary (Connor Langan 60), Ollie Cook, Jordan Turnbull (Archie Thomas 73), Will Wood (Tyreke Johnson 60), Thomas O’Connor, Dominic Gape, Ben Rowthorn (Siph Mdlalose 73), Josh Sims (Harley Willard 67), Olufela Olomola, Marcus Barnes © (Dan N’Lundulu 73)

[Globetrotter]

As above. And JB = Jordan Turnbull :-)

..as this part of the text relates to goalies..... maybe we should consider that since last season, we've "lost" 4 keepers.

 

In December, Saints released U21's Harry Isted (who went to Stoke). After which...Stekelenburg ended his loan period, KD retired and now Gazzaniga has gone on loan.

 

Jake Hallett kept goal for the U18's for the first half of the last season (later injured?)....then Harry Lewis was signed. Noted: Neil Osborn's name appeared a few times.

 

I may be wrong, but I think Will Britt was out with a long term injury, and then released in anticipation of Koeman staying another year...and signing Stek.permanent (?).

 

Perhaps the club are having second thoughts and changed their minds about Will Britt? Anyway ....we will see in the next few weeks.

I think as with Gape it is just giving them game time so scouts can have a look at them.

Will Britt has just joined Salisbury so his appearance for the U23's last week was his last appearance for Saints.

well that issue is settled then THX.

Born in Portsmouth, cites David James as his hero... I think the odds were stacked against him from the start.

[nta786]

Beating Liverpool 4-1 away from home!!!

 

Our second goal from Hesketh was beautiful.

 

Ings is playing for Liverpool too, he scored their only goal.

[Chalkboy]

Some brilliant goals today. Hesketh and Olomola with fantastic finishes. Great stuff.

 

Any idea what formation they were playing?

Olomola looking like a player to keep our eyes on. Good finish for his second goal.

[SuperSAINT]

Is it our U23's that's going to be in the EFL Cup?

[angelman]

[Robertoe]

Did anybody go yesterday?

[VectisSaint]

Is it our U23's that's going to be in the EFL Cup?

No the EFL Trophy is for u21s (with 5 overage players allowed). Somewhat bizarre to have different rules, but suspect the EFL wee caught out by the PL change from u21 to u23 this season.

Looked to play a couple of really nicely weighted through-balls from midfield too.

[trousers]

No Harry Reed in yesterday's game. Injured?

[JRM]

I think they are home to Manchester United next Monday evening at St Marys for anyone who wants to see them in action

I think he was in the first team squad Saturday, but didn't make the final 18 (the same goes for McQueen).

Pretty sure I heard entry is FREE too when they were doing the post match announcements on Saturday.
