Moore back from injury and first start for Luca Williams-Barnett! Hardy also keeps his place after impressing against Saints u18s last month. Also Warren's first start in goal.

Good to see a number of the younger players getting involved :

Warren - First year GK (his mate out on a YTS loan)
Hardy, Adewole and Williams-Barnett - All u16's (or Williams-Barnett thought to be u15 playing up a year).

All the other starting X1 are Academy Year 2 who will be u21 pros in Development Squad next year, other than Year 1 Moore and Olusesi who may be year 1's but have already played a full year in u18's and likely to mainly play u21's next season.

Year 1 players Orr, Egan-Riley, Logan, Lehane on the bench, but other than Lehane none have really staked much of a claim to start at u18 level. So next season I see the current u16's (next season's Year 1) being a major part of our starting X1, which is why its good to see Hardy, Adewole and Williams-Barnett get familiar with u18 football. We'll need the current u16's next season in a big way I think
 
u21s lineup against Reading

Noteworthy that Ajayi seems to have taken Soonsup-Bell's starting position as a forward off him today.

Ajayi a solidly built youngster, but still Academy Year 2, and he's shown he's a very decent forward in u18's whereas Soonsup-Bell very experienced at u21 level with both Spurs and Chelsea and wanting a loan to play mens football so a big difference in experience.
 
Spurs u18's have apparently had 28 shots (16 on target) versus Reading u18's 11 shots (3 on target) so the scoreline probably reflects Spurs dominance in the match
