The Academy, NextGen, U18 & U21 Premier League and On-Loan Thread

[THFC6061]

Our Under-21s take on West Ham in the Barclays U21 Premier League tonight.

Younes Kaboul is scheduled to make his return from a knee injury while Tom Carroll, who featured as substitute in Sunday's draw against Everton and Cristian Ceballos, who was on the bench, are both set to start.

The team remains 10 points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Elite Group with eight wins and a draw in 10 matches so far.

They need one more win to secure a place in the end-of-season play-offs.

The top three from the Elite Group go into the play-offs and three more points will take them out of reach (on 28 points) of every team apart from United (who can get a maximum of 30) and Liverpool (a maximum of 29).

Am i right in thinking Fredericks was originally a winger?

Yes.

15 mins - Goal to West Ham. Moncur whipped in corner, Paulista glanced home header at the near post. 0-1.

kaboul, what does he do?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Great to see Kaboul in a Spurs starting X1 albeit the U21s. Really hope he gets through this game, Spot on the bench on Thursday possibly?

kaboul, what does he do?

Improves Michael Dawson when alongside him thats for sure. MD looks very uncertain next to Caulker, definitely needs a Kaboul or Vertonghen next to him

Think it'll be too soon personally, think after this long out you'd want to see the player get through a few XI/U21 games before being put in the thick of it

 

[Mumorn]

1-1!!

McEvoy

 

[THFC6061]

1-1!!

McEvoy

McEvoy's third goal in 4 games for the U21s and his 13th of the season overall.

 

[Spur of the moment]

McEvoy's third goal in 4 games for the U21s and his 13th of the season overall.

That's as many as most other teams have scored in the entire competition. Anyone else agree in Bale's absence he deserves a place on the bench?

I think Cristian Ceballos is ahead of McCoy in the pecking order.

They're now both on 13 goals but the Spaniard's have all come for the U21s and Spurs XI.

What about bench for City? Still a while until that game.

How many U21 games until that?

Just Man United away on the 15th April.

Kaboul played 61 minutes tonight before being substituted by Jack Barthram.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Still 1-0 down?

No, it's been 1-1 since Kenneth McEvoy scored in the 38th minute.

Sorry, beat me to the edit, meant 1-1. But you'be answered my question, cheers Statto, a few mins left I assume
