I have no idea if it's up-to-date, but Paul Hardyman's Linkedin account reads: Head of Academy coaching @ Portsmouth.

If true, not sure who's coaching the U18's.

Taken from the lead up to last weekend’s game at Leicester, still in charge 

 

 

THE MATCH

Leicester City vs Saints
U18 Premier League
Leicester City Training Ground
Saturday 20th February, 1pm

Saints will be looking to bounce back this weekend after heavy defeat at Brighton last-time-out.

Diamond Edwards opened the scoring within the first minute with a tidy finish, but Brighton went on to win 7-1.

Paul Hardyman will be hoping his side can replicate the last meeting against the Foxes, an 8-0 victory at Staplewood Campus.

Good spot, cheers.

Had a quick look at the OS & his profile wasn’t on the U18’s page, but guess that’s a mistake.

His profile has gone, he's not showing in the u18 staff list, and his LinkedIn shows him as being at Pompey. I'd guess he's gone.

I’m sure Paul Hardyman might potentially be a nice bloke but...who in their right mind takes on a coach with no particularly outstanding track record to join a club that prides itself on having a world-beating academy? And he’s a Pompey hero. Incredibly bullish!t decision when you absolutely know there are better coaches available, perhaps some of them even have Saints in their history. 
 

Just like the first team, the academy needs to be intensely assessed and realise that beyond spreadsheets and matrices, humans make the difference. It’d be nice to see us start employing the best people available and if not, at least people who give a sh!t about what this club means and have the desire to make it better from a deeper POV.

Louis Carey is an ex Bristol City player, made hundreds of apps for them until mids 2010s.

Horseman is also ex Bristol City so maybe that is the link.

One thing for sure - a shakeup of coaches and players is needed because the season win % of the U23s and U18s combined must be about 10%.

Surely an Academy like ours shoukd be able to attract some proven youth coaches who are well versed in coaching a pressing style?

Update: seems Carey has been the assistant coach for at least 6 months.

You would have thought Crocker would be all over this.

He's probably limited in terms of what he can do financally. These coaches will be in contract I'd have thought, I doubt we can afford a load of sackings and new recruits.

Matt Hale is ex-Bristol City too. Who’d have thought it.

The academy is in a mess.

The Hardyman thing is odd. Monk seemed convinced he is still here, but he’s been off our website for a while, his team is described as Louis Carey team, and his LinkedIn shows him as being at Pompey. Doesn’t suggest that he’s here to me.

No disrespect to Hardyman, I’m sure we can do better and possibly Carey is better.

Our big issue though is a lack of players. The B team have lost Valery, Vokins, O’Connor, Slattery, Smallbone, Chauke, Sims, Hesketh, Jankewitz, N'Lundulu and Tella. Pretty much the whole team is on loan, injured or with the first team. Because of that the B team is weak, but has to borrow u18 players who in turn are weak. 
 

it’s a mess.

To be honest, the standard of english youth coaching is appalling.

How do you expect dinausors to implement a progressive style of football even with the aid of a playbook.

i d be more inclined into dipping into German/foreigner youth coaching and recruit so you can get real experts on that style of football.

Likewise it would be good to get rid of Davis, Fleming and watson so we can get have some people to help out Ralph on that style.

These people are just yes men who just do what they are told, I see zero discussions between Ralph and them during the game
