Few people commenting earlier about Unsworth, Oxford and Ledson - I thought Preston had put in a couple of bids for Ledson and he had requested a transfer.

Ideally I was hoping to avoid them. They're walking away with the southern division. Mind you, the other 2 wouldn't have been pushovers either....just reading we’ve got Chelsea at home in the U18 Cup semi-final.

Did they say when it's getting played Eggs.

It's Saturday the 17th I think
I'm away. Will be relying on you guys to update on here. I'm sure Chelsea will televise....you would think it’ll be televised via Chelsea TV and we’ll watch via a stream.
A good test for our u18s,they’re probably one of the best teams in Europe on their day. Hudson-Odoi is their star, but I think he’s way ahead of this level now, McEachran, Guehi, Panzo all played for England U17s WC winners, plus a couple like James and Redan who showed up well the other night. They’re unlikely to play all these though. Let’s hope we make a decent effort with streaming it, the Chelsea tv coverage the other night from Southport with its replays etc put our coverage of our previous U23s match at Goodison to shame....you would think it’ll be televised via Chelsea TV and we’ll watch via a stream.

Not sure if you fully grasped my question Nymz. In the past scholars of Gordons ability bypassed the U18s and went straight to the U21s. Kenny, Evans, Feeney etc. It was policy to fast track their development then send out on loan at 18ish. Thats not happened to Gordon who appears to be at that level.I guess there's just no rush with Gordon. If he goes straight to U23's he needs to play all the time but then say Evans might not get in and we want to assess how far off first team football he is etc. It's just spreading the minutes around.

Yeh I understand what you were getting at just our U23 squad is pretty large so maybe they thought a full game every week is better than him possibly sitting a lot of them out. He is 16 after all and the first team management will be more interested in seeing how say Evans performs (same position) since he'll be closer to being ready.

Ok.
Just that you started the previous response with there's no rush, which would have actually been a move away from our old policy.
It could be, as you say, that others are ahead in the pecking order. Evans, Hornby, Broadhead etc plus we've brought in the likes of Bowler.
But I'm still a little surprised they haven't given him an odd game at least. Perhaps he's not actually quite advanced as we think and his goals are giving ys a little bit of false expectation. He does appear quite slight and maybe physically he isnt quite ready for the higher age group.
Hornby was injured at the start of the season IIRC.hornby has only moved into the u23s in last couple of months and he was banging the goals in for the u18s for a while so they do seem to be moving them along more slowly recently.
