MCFC U-18's

[Deepest Blue]

So a one off home tie vs WBA to take us to the Final.
After a few years of high expectations with a golden generation of players we now look to have a fine chance of winning it with a comparatively weaker group of players.

Garcia with a brilliant header from Tommy Doyles corner 1-2

Anyone know if Doyle takes most of our attacking dead -ball/free kicks..?
Saw his goal against arsenal last season ..brilliant free kick,no keeper would have saved it.

When I`ve seen him play, he does yes.

Cheers.something to look out for in the future then,along with his composed central midfield play.
Exciting times ahead.

He takes them all and is excellent with them. The corner for the Garcia goal is typical. He drives them hard and keeps them head height low. Always lookes to score from set pieces that are in range and he also has a great cross on him from open play. He is the real deal

Lets hope they keep him away from the first team coaches for as long as possible then ;-)

He’s got no chance of making the first team with that corner taking ability

He took all the corners in that Bournemouth match, but most were pretty average. A couple were great (including the one leading to the goal) but he also took a few shockers, including one that was driven hard into the side netting.

Overall he had a really great game, but his corner taking wasn't the best part of it.

Doyle could be our own Declan Rice. Hope he will be given a chance

Re Doyles corners,if you watched the whole match i,ll take your word for it...but the 3 shown in the highlights above were all top drawer,imo...each of them different,and placed accurately, onto a City players head,leading to a goal,and two goal bound headers which were saved,at point blank,on the line.
Thats quality corner taking in my book,and bodes well for the future.To be able to vary the delivery of your corners,to such a degree,at that age,shows real talent.
Also the lofted pass out to the left wing on1.09 of the video highlights was superb...absolutely inch perfect,showing both great vision and technique,right down to leaning back slightly as he connected to ensure the ball gained height to take out about 3 Bournemouth defenders.
Promising.

Youtube have it on.

Not sure if it got a mention but the Bournemouth captain (5) is the late Gerry Gows grandson.

Assuming permanent given there's no mention of it being a loan? Bit of a left field move

Perhaps he's gone there to study as well as play, a lot of sports people go to university in the US, maybe got a scholarship ?

Yeah, it’s permanent. We have better goalkeepers in the academy, so not that arsed

 

[Delphinho]

The U18s lost 4-2 today. Taylor Richards and Henri Ogunby with the goals. Nice to see Ohio and Burns with the U18s

 

[jimharri]

Well done to the lads.

Excellent tonight against a good WBA. A couple of crazy mistakes gave them 2 chances and one was a goal but overall we dominated . Ben Knight excellent and not just for his 2 goals but so many of them played great. Hopefully the injuries to Knight and McDonald are not serious as they are key players.
