No u18 game today, the fixture schedule in that league really is bizarre
Bit of a cracker from the updated PL squad list. Let's hope he's fine sticking with Demi.

What surprised me was the relative young age of the squad, not just the number of u18s there but most of the others were in their 1st year out of u18s and we weren’t putting the older ones in like Butterfield and Whitaker. Of course we have a number out on loan so there aren’t many older players left at FF , but later in the season it opens the way for a few 1st year Scholars to move up , and then u16s to play more at u18s.
Maybe ,it’ll be interesting to see u21 team Tuesday night v Stockport ,I was thinking initially we’d see Armstrong/ Dixon back then realised we’ve got League Cup against Southampton at GP, could be a tough choice if Sky+ button is showing both.Yeh was refreshing. Hopefully isn’t just a cup-only sort of squad.
Surely with Mangala, Garner, Doucs, Tim and Gueye all back in the mix Armstrong should play at Stockport rather than be 5th choice midfielder. We all know Dyche won't play him either wayMaybe ,it’ll be interesting to see u21 team Tuesday night v Stockport ,I was thinking initially we’d see Armstrong/ Dixon back then realised we’ve got League Cup against Southampton at GP, could be a tough choice if Sky+ button is showing both.
That makes sense, right now it’s hard to imagine any scenario where Dyche says to Armstrong/ Dixon “ Right lads on you go , things are comfortable out there, our senior players will look after you.”Surely with Mangala, Garner, Doucs, Tim and Gueye all back in the mix Armstrong should play at Stockport rather than be 5th choice midfielder.

The cash rich Toffees doing bits at academy level.
Yeah I make that the third signing this summer after Graham and Loney who are all their club’s youngest ever senior debutant. Very different level of course but if they were pushing for senior football you’d expect them to do good things at 18s level, initially at least. Good to see the effort going into recruitment at that level.Baines really has no excuses for a poor season this time around. Haven't seen this sort of youth investment in some time, maybe ever.
