Won 5-0 tonight vs Norwich. Nicholas Oyekunle with 4 goals!

Moved to top of the league, but many teams have a lot of games in hand over Saints (although they will all be taking points off each other in those games so Saints may not plummet too far).

15 year old Luke Hawe signs for Saints on pre-contract agreement. Will join as a 1st year scholar in the summer for the under 18s. 

He has already played for Ballymena United's senior team in the Northern Irish top flight.

Another hattrick for Oyekunle today - one to watch almost make it to the first team then either gets snapped up by Chelsea or disappears into the same abyss as Seagar and Sims... either way, never to be seen or heard of again...

Completed it for you... ;)

Dipepa has done really well since joining from (I think) Port Vale where he was in first team squad. 

Looks physically strong as well, a bit different from many of our academy forwards of recent years.

Think he has a chance.

Dylan Moody in the under 17s

Three Saints players in the under 18s...

 

Dibling strangely back in the under 19s after having a couple of games in the under 21s. He has far more Premier League experience than most of the under 21 squad.

Bit of a throwback to the Best / Blackstock / McGoldrick days.

How many of our U21s or U18s are capable of stepping up and contributing next season? Clearly Dibling was not planned to break through this season, but I wonder if Spors is hoping, or banking, on some home grown talent in the Championship.

Good recognition for the u18 lads, some of them having a great season, need to try to keep them at the club and see if any can make the step up in the Championship 

Bit of a reality check for Dibling dropping back to u19s, I'm surprised they couldn't find room for him in u21 squad

O'Brian-Whitmarsh on loan at Accrington now has been impressive in u21 games I've seen, I'd expect him to be given some opportunities pre-season.

Depends on the coach and system - because if Tyler / Jayden / Sam Amo wern’t really trusted last time out in the EFL, that’s a hell of a level of player!

Massive game for the u18s this weekend vs Chelsea, if we can win or draw will leave them in a good position for the title. Aston Villa still look favourites with several games in hand

They've had a brilliant season at u18 level, will be interesting to see who can progress. 

Surprise result Fulham beat Chelsea 1-0 so we're back top but it's absolutely farcical that we've got this far into the season and Villa still haven't caught up with games in hand, looks like they'll get to finish the season after us and Chelsea and therefore know how many points required, unfair advantage

We only have two games left

I think it'll be difficult for Villa to be playing twice a week for a month, academy players aren't used to that sort of schedule. They've also got the FA Youth Cup final against Man City after four of their six remaining games, so I think I'd put City as massive favourites for that final right now. Maybe they get the 11 points they'll need from their remaining six games, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion at all.
