Is next week's u23 match against Blackpool at Goodison or Southport ?

We should be in for some of these Chelsea players...saving them from oblivion.
They either get loaned out for too long or sold off...or both. Surely some could be signed before their impending doom?
Every opposition match report I've ever read always starts off by saying how their line up was an exceptionally young one, up against bigger more experienced opponents.
The Chelsea one I read earlier said something like "Chelsea did well up against experienced opponents" - they had Zouma and Van Ginkel in their starting line up with over 200 top flight appearances between them!

Just read that Adam Forshaw, once of Everton, is being considered for an England call up by Southgate.
Good example to young players at PL clubs in that he took a move down the leagues to get first team football and was now worked his way back up to the top.
And a good example to those who write of any player who isn't pulling up trees when they are 20. Forshaw is PL ready at 25, he wasn't at 20, or even 23.

I think we'll be seeing a lot more examples of this over the next few years.

I always liked Forshaw and probably wrote about him on here many years ago. Neat and tidy, easy in possession and looked a natural fit for central midfield. He was in the same team as Baxter who got a lot of hype but was always more impressed with Forshaw.
Alex Fergusan wrote in his book you only really know if a lad is good enough when they are 23. That's when they have completed their physical development and you see the end package to go alongside the technical skill. He also acknowledged that you rarely get a chance to keep players until they are 23 to get to see that, so it is often guesswork.
The other paradox is that players aged 16-23 do require competitive game time to progress. However it is getting harder to achieve that. Anyway good luck to Forshaw.
