Was that Ccv out jumped for the goal ?

yes, though klose is massive so it's a bit harsh to blame him for getting beaten in the air. their keeper shoulders most of the blame for putting them in that situation in the first place. ccv had a solid game otherwise.

GK takes all the blame imo. It wasn’t actually CCV picking him up he tried to get across but imo CCV height will always be a downfall for him.

I think we've got the face facts about Edwards. Those suggesting that there were some issues were, to some extent, right. If Norwich really had a proto-Messi on their hands does anyone think that they wouldn't be playing him every game? Has he even made the bench yet? He's got bundles of talent but he is not ready. Coaches put a lot of emphasis on attitude and behaviour on the training ground and if Edwards isn't 100% committed to shape drills and listening to coaches trying to help him then he's going to get overlooked. There's only so long you can go on defending him. I've seen incredibly talented kids before who had the world at their feet but they didn't want to listen and didn't want to change and didn't want to do the nasty bits of the game and they wasted their talent. I hope so very, very much that Edwards doesn't fall into that trap but his exclusion from Norwich's first team squad since he signed suggests that the penny still hasn't dropped yet.

That kind of stuff can easily be rumours, like he's been told by a mate who works there that that's what Marcus has been doing but that's open to both the guy and his mates interpretations what happened, not fact. Like Marcus could've just been there and there were girls there, but he chose not to drink or whatever, but his mate didn't see that and formed his own opinion on it, no one knows. Whereas Alastair's is not open to his interpretation or bias, he's been given information and that's it.

I'd go with Alistair on this one

Probably the last game this season that any of the kids could have been involved in but I guess it isn't to be.

Hey bro as far as you know is there any truth in the rumors that we are releasing Reo at the end of the season due to attitude problems?

Sorry, know nothing about this. @Spurzinho as more concrete info it seems. Either way after the Trix ITK though, it was all quite obvious anyway, would you sign a contract to stay here for another 2 years.

I'd be bitter sweet about them leaving. I would want them to stay and play for us, but I also wouldn't want them to stagnate their careers in blind faith. Leaving early seems to have worked for Oteh at the moment, and Sancho appears to have made the right decision. I personally would love to see a proper exodus of English players to other leagues, after Spurs, England is my next interest. If we won't use them, I would hope they develop to the point England could

I don't know too much about the u14s. You know quite a few of the names so you may have a similar amount of knowledge on them as me. But the ones you named are the ones I have seen and liked. Dane Scarlett, Omari Forson and Dante Casanova are the full names. Also there is a CB in that group I'm still yet to ID and a winger named Jaden who caught my eye. From the little I've seen Haysman is a small left footer who can sit deep or play no.10 while Forson is a skillful CM.

Just found out that the really good CB from this age group is named Brandon Bryan-Waugh. He was the defender of the tournament at Riga last year, and has been defender of the tournament at u12 Futsal tournament in Spain.

Also our u17s beat Norwich 4-2 yesterday Chay Cooper also featured so I assume will be kept on next year

Are Adam Hayton, Aaron Maguire, Jimmy Parker and Zidane Green still part of the group or have they moved on?

We still have the first 2 but not sure about the last 2. I definitely know one of Zidane Green or Ronaldinho Calin left I think it was Calin though. Never heard of Parker.

Our U19 will join this tournament again in May. We finished 9th last year.

I do know U11 winger Ronaldinho Calin was let go. There's an online article about him trialling with Colchester after his release.

There's another lad at U14 that I think is still with us. He's a defender called Roshaun Mathurin.

The current U13s that I know of are goalkeeper Donay O'Brien-Brady, defender Max McKnight, midfielders Archie Cunningham-Leach, Dillon Sandu-Nelson and Noah Phillips and forwards Reuell Walters and Jaziah Linton.

This thread is ridiculous for knowledge and info. I doubt there’s a better one on any forum. Well done to all that contribute.

"Dante Casanova"

Destined for greatness with a name like that.

"Zidane Green or Ronaldinho Calin."

You're making these up now, right?!
