Glad there's no u21 game this weekend because the u21s are starting to get a bit depleted too. Phillips, Sayers, Craig, Santiago all potentially injured plus 4 potentially with first team.
Our u18s have been knocked out of the u18 PL Cup today because of how other results went. Only group winners qualify and the best runner up which we're now 4 points off
Glens teenager Feeney set for Premier League move

This is the time of year when all the Academies are sorting out who will be joining next season's Academy Year 1, and that will include scouting, holding trials and making scholarship offers to youngsters not in their own u16's currently.
Not really spurs youth related but heard Dom Ballard picked up what looks like a really bad injury, possibly ACL gone, while on loan at Reading from Saints. Mentioned him a few times in this thread because he's the England u19s current starting forward ahead of Lankshear. Think we had Lyons-Foster and Ashcroft do their ACLs last year as well as Bentancur and Perisic from the first team. Can get every development decision right but also need quite a lot of luck injury-wise to make it

Well, he started because they literally had no other midfielders available (and he'd been given minutes here and there all season)
Donleys been given none and even without Maddison available, there's still Skipp, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Lo Celso and Sarr ahead of him for now.
Main thing for me is it's encouraging to see someone like that make an impact, because Donley can make those kinds of assists too.
He's behind Maddison and Lo Celso for that creative 8/10 role, but if we are struggling for goals, hopefully Ange sees him as a good option.
I would love to see Donley given more minutes tbh. I hope he's on the bench today and given minutes regardless of score.
So our next under 21 game is at home on the Saturday...
Donley and Dorrington will likely be with first team again who are away in Manchester on Sunday
As far as we know: Phillips, Sayers, Craig, Santiago, Abbott, Heaps?, Linton? all injured + Mikey Moore who would likely have been a candidate to move up.
Obviously somebody might have come back over the break but maybe only a couple of u18s would move up, something like:
Soonsup-Bell - Lankshear - Williams
John
Cassanova - Kyerematen
Ashcroft - Andiyapan - Lyons-Foster - McKnight
Keeley
Bench: Gunter, Robson, Chaplin, Hall, Ajayi

11.00 am Saturday 2 December Fulham u18's v Spurs u18's (u21's play at 12.00)
Last u18 team :
Bloedorn, Black, Akhamrich (Logan 73), King, Chaplin (c), Hall, Irow (Orr 90), Morgan, Lehane (Adewole 82), Ajayi, James.
Substitutes (not used): Archer, Egan-Riley.
Callum Olusesi should be returning (was on international duty last match)
A few injuries such as James Rowswell, Gabriel Wilhoft-King but chances are they won't be back.
If Spurs u21's need Archie Chaplin, Tyrese Hall and Damola Ajayi are needed for u21's, chances are a couple of Spurs u16's may need to move up. Malachi Hardy (CB), Junai Byfield (CB), Luca Williams-Barnett (AM/RW) and Rio Bromfield (LB) were called up for E u16's at the start of November, so are likely candidates as are a few others.

Greater Anglia striking on the 5th
It’s a shame. The Youth games when we had an active 1882 movement were decent. Even if you only got a few hundred it would be a laugh.Greater Anglia striking on the 5th
