Watching this today i just thought the front 4 play Anges football much better than the first team the 2nd goal was a prime example of how it should work with Donley & Jude opening Sunderland up brilliantly and finding Lankshere for the finish, Donley just makes things look so easy
 
I think that is it now for the season.

With about 10 or 11 players coming up from this years Academy Year 2 (Bloedorn, Baptiste, Rowswell, Pele, King (LB) , Black (RB), Hall, Wilhoft-King, Ajayi, Irow, Akhamrich) to join u21's next season I think it inevitable that we need to 'lose' some of the players.

We will probably struggle to loan out more than about 10 of the 24 players on your list (we've never loaned out more, just are not enough clubs to take them) with a couple maybe included in the first team squad rather than loans.

Probably keep 6 or 7 of the above list of this years u21's players to play alongside the 10 or 11 youngsters being promoted from Academy Year 2 (which would mean about 17 or 18 players in next season's u21 squad probably plus Moore and Olusesi playing up - otherwise some players would not get into u21 match day squad of 11 plus 5 subs).

And that means something like 6 or 7 of the listed players need to move on. The obvious ones might be Maguire, Heaps, Linton but I suspect it might include 2 or 3 from todays squad who have outgrown u21's but are not at a level to loan out to other clubs etc. Some tough choices to make
 
Will Lankshear ends his season with 23 goals (and 2 assists) in 23 games in PL2, and 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 EFL games plus another 7 goals in u21 Premier League Cup

So that's 32 goals and 3 assists this season.

I can't remember the last u21 striker to get over 30 goals in a season
He has a Shearer/VanNistelrooy type quality, ultra composed finisher. Hope his speed of play holds up through higher levels and his hold up improves, as he has a real shot at making a good prem striker.

Tought the same, put the main team defense and the u21 attack together and we start cooking!

Of the 2nd tear academy Morgan is rumoured not to have been offered a pro and is leaving (a shame as he's looked to be a solid cb/dm when played. Simons has never made an u18 start, and Krasniqi maybe one start, so I think all 3 will be let go at the end of their scholarships rather than joining u21's.

Might be a couple of Year 1 defenders leaving s well - just not at the same level of some of the others

Be interesting to see how the club view Santiago.
I had high hopes for Nile John.

Nile John now21 so despite his performance today I think he's too old to keep in u21's and hasn't kicked on since his disastrous loan to Charlton, so sadly he might leave to start his career elsewehere.

Santiago on first team bench about 3 or 4 times this season so I think a loan unless we are short at LW and Amge thinks he can do a job as cover there as he'll be a List B player net season and Club Trained the following season.
 
It’ll be a real shame if some of these players don’t get a shot at integrating into the first team. We need to do better at showing them a path forward.
Yes rather have one of our own than cheap puts from overseas or other lower league teams in England. Save the money and spend the big bucks for proven quality.
 
Lankshear shunned the offer of a pro contract at our near neighbours and joined a better team - Sheffield United - to showcase his skills allowing him to join Spurs a year later, and hasn't looked back since !
Hopefully he can get an opportunity with the first team on the bench or something. We bought Veliz at 19 paying €15M so surely we can give a chance our Will?
