Did the maths...u21s are now guaranteed through to the PL2 elimination playoff round (with 6 games to spare). Obviously still good to finish as high as possible to get the best possible draw (1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th etc.)

 

[Football Chap]

u21 Premier League Cup last 8 current league postions:

Tottenham (1st)
Leeds (21st)
Fulham (6th)
Chelsea (4th)
Villa (18th)
Palace (15th)
Forest (17th) or Sunderland (11th) - postponed no date yet
Sheffield United (2nd in u23 PDL North)

Not sure when the QF draw is yet.

Forest beat Sunderland in the last game so should get the draw soon. Couple of England youth friendlies coming up for each age group in the last week of March so hopefully not scheduled while our players are away. Wouldn't be surprised if they make the draw soon and play the matches short notice mid-week

Malachi Hardy's first start for u18s (England u16 international). Our u18s beat Saints 6-3 last month but with Moore. 15 year old Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez who didn't play that game but scored against our u21s is starting for Saints.

Irow on the literally right side but Black moved to midfield.

 

[sudoku]

Dog's dinner so far. Adewole is not playing well. Black is passing poorly on the left side.
When we get the ball forward we look dangerous. Irow and Akham with good chances.

 

[sudoku]

Soton score as a direct result of a poor throw in by Adewole.

 

[Football Chap]

1-1 Akhamrich (massive deflection)

Lovely switch from Adewole in the build up

 

[Zest]

How’s the saints Wonderkid doing?

How’s the saints Wonderkid doing?

Looked dangerous when he has had the ball but he's not had the same space he had against our u21s so far. He did get the assist for their goal

 

[sudoku]

What a shambles.

 

[Football Chap]

2-1 Saints

 

[sudoku]

King has the beating of his man,,,,when he can catch him.
Adewole is not good. Both players out of position.
Facing 4 defeats in a row not the time to give Hardy his debut IMO.
I would sub off Adewole for Lehane, Black to RB and Olusesi to MF.

 

[sudoku]

Soton could and should have scored 4 or 5.
