Thanks for the updates MB 👍

[Saint Garrett]

Forgot all about Vokins. Guessing he hasn’t progressed as expected. Looks like he’s playing left wing as number 11. Or maybe LWB. 😂

Good start to the season for the B Team. Two goals for Ballard and one for Turner

[VectisSaint]

Didn't realise that there are 3 less teams in PL2 this season, meaning Div 2 now only has 11 teams. Means 6 less league matches for the B team, which is not good for development. Important for the B team to get back to Div 1 playing against the best teams and playing more regularly. Burnley, Birmingham and Reading have all left.

for those of you interested in youth/B teams One Shot - The football factory documentry on Sky is a very good watch. Not Saints related but it follow a group of South London lads trying to make it in pro football. Not Saints related but a good watch.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Maybe the u23's won 9-0 and that's why Ralph denied it happened during the fan forum

[Master Bates]

Quoted aswell.

"We’ve got a brilliant week, challenging week, we’re playing the first-team Wednesday to help them prepare for Leeds United and that’s another big shift,” Horseman revealed in a club interview.

No Ramsay. Does that mean he’s off somewhere, injured or with first team?

Likely leaving 

[Give it to Ron]

1-1 at h/t 1 down early Ballard with equaliser 

[Give it to Ron]

2-1 Ballard again

[Saint Charminster]

 

[Yozzman]

Ballard certainly  knows how to find the back of net!

[washsaint]

Maybe Ballard is the answer to our striker problems?  He scores for fun at every level: however Ralph is likely to play him at CB if he gets a chance.

About playing Ballard at CB? No he didn t

[Baird of the land]

Wonder if Ballard could play some part in the Cambridge game.

I think he meant with RH’s idiosyncratic selection policy he could well pick him at CB.

Jimmy Jay Morgan looks a prospect from highlights on the site. Sent some lovely through balls in yesterday's game. Anyone know much about him?

Was just going to write the same.  Morgan looked a decent player, some lovely passes for chances and goals. Diamond Edwards looks a player too, strong, carries the ball forward and sees a  forward pass. Dom Ballard, seems to score goals whatever team he plays in. Scored a good poachers goal too but was offside, definitely looks to have a goal scorers instinct.

Looking forward to seeing if these guys can develop over the next couple of years and have a positive impact on the first team.

Great to see.

Morgan has played for England youth. The kid I know in the U18's says he is amazing.

The fact he’s playing in the B team already is awesome.
