edwards goal

apologies for it being a bit stuttery.

No apology necessary mate. Lovely goal and fantastic work for the assist. Would love to see them both come through for us.

Is Bennett quite small ? Vaguely remember him from that U17 tournament last year.

not really, about 5'10, maybe more.

Most of our u/18 players I've never heard of before. Can anyone give us any useful info about them?

I want Edwards in the first team. No one else has his skill set and he can be eased in because of his attacking position. He's made some bad mistakes but we've also failed to give him any chances since that league cup(?) debut. I think poch is way too stubborn with the kids sometimes, especially the big 3 thus far.

Edwards has had injury problems over the last couple of years, and unfortunately he wasnt fit or fit enough to get a chance in the cups.

bennett goal from last week vs brighton -



hopefully he'll post his hat-trick from yesterday at some point as well.

He seems to be doing well have you seen much of him? If so how highly do you rate him?

i like him, he's very positive and direct, quick too - think of a player like demarai gray. he's probably the most exciting of the first years after parrott so definitely one to follow closely. i've only really seen him play left wing so it will be interesting to see if he gets a few more chances to play up top after yesterday, i have seen him play left back a few times as well actually but he was completely out of his element there(plus he's right footed) so i can't see that being revisited.

Our ex youth coach Kieran McKenna was sitting next to Jose M today at Brighton . Now one of the assistant coaches with Carrick. Bit of an eye-opener at half time I would think.

Yeah, it was confirmed right after Rui Faria left as the assistant coach. What a step up for him though.

CCV on verge of loan to Swansea according to Wales online. They have lost two centre backs recently. Bit of an upgrade on Ipswich for him

Oduwa did diddly squat at Ljubljana and is now a free agent.

sensible move if it happens.

hopefully get some news on others like kwp, amos, onomah, edwards etc in the next 10 days as well.

I was thinking about Oduwa the other day. Hopefully he does well enough to get himself a contract at QPR, he was a talented player for sure.

Just seen that former youth player Alexander McQueen has signed for Dagenham & Redbridge where he'll be playing alongside another Spurs oldboy in Ben Goodliffe who's on loan from Wolves. Dagenham are in a rough spot financially and are expected to struggle to survive in the Conference this season.

Another former youth player on the move is Hakeem Odoffin who left Wolves this summer and joined Northampton.

Janoi Donacien has gone on loan to Ipswich for the season from Accrington Stanley.

My understanding is that he was never on our books, he was just here on trial. I don't know that for sure but that was what I thought.
