Vital Youth Team
3-0 up against Birmingham. Will be into the quarter finals unless we throw the lead away. Joffy scored twice. Will face United or Leeds away. A lot to be excited about if they keep developing like this
There seems to be a lot of crossover in both teams. Are the U23’s basically the U18’s. But with a few overage players allowed?U18s and u23s both doing us proud. I wonder if this crop of youngsters are a happy coincidence or a big driver in IECs decision to buy us.
Let's hope we start to see the lads given some first team chances soon.
I think quite a few of them do play in the U23s which probably explains why they are doing so well as they are testing themselves against older players. Let’s be honest we have a couple of diamonds in our U18s in Weir and Joffy. In fact Joffy is probably one of the best if not the best in his age group. He is our secret weapon who is helping to fire us further in the competition. Can you imagine what winning the FA a Youth Cup would do for the profile of our youth set-up? This is what IEC bought into and what Royle probably alerted them to. David Sharpe is probably wondering what might have been if Grandad had stuck with it. Although I’m sure he’s trying to sign our young lads up to his agency if he hasn’t done so already!There seems to be a lot of crossover in both teams. Are the U23’s basically the U18’s.

1st team troubles aside. The youth set-up is really delivering. For me relegation would be a disaster and require a clear out of 1st team players and management. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that. But if it does we have to fully back these youth players with a great coach.

They were excellent tonight. To a man, they all shone, but especially the front 5.
Right winger, McGurk will be a belter, ....so skilful, but still quite slight.
Carragher was very solid and calm.
A really, really enjoyable game.
Onto OT.
Edit ......Just make sure you get to see "that" goal.
Cheers for that Jock, I saw him hit it last night but didn't see it go in as I was stood in the pie queue at the time. Typically poor timing from me.
Nice to see so many senior players and club officials there, and apparently (didn't see him myself) Paul Scharner was spotted.
If they actually host the game at Old Trafford, I'll go. But I suspect with the Europa League returning, Utd will want to play the game at Leigh. Sod going over there to the land of the dead in the middle of nowhere! Hope the club show some balls and insist on Old Trafford.
