I'm glad he's signed on but I think he's had a mediocre year. What do you think? Into the 21s? Or another year at 18s?
Thought he had one of his best games so far against West Ham at the weekend playing RW, easily had the beating of his man. Looks pretty quick but not really seen him use it enough. I could see him moving up next year but imagine he would move back to RB if he did.I'm glad he's signed on but I think he's had a mediocre year. What do you think? Into the 21s?

I get the feeling we won't see Myrtaj in the U18s again until next year because they don't want to integrate him this late in to a potential title run-in. Ollie Salter is also a natural RW so 2 options there for next season.
There's some rumours the club might delay a big clear-out of the U21s until next summer and give out quite a few +1 deals to current U21s that expire this season so they can bring a strong group of U18s through together to play U21s the year after.

Still have a few question marks about Olusesi, think we need to see a bit more from him in youth games. Don't think he'll be ready for a loan next year.

Here is a list of all Academy players with short contracts.
Apart from my very hopeful hope about Irow and possibly Black, I can't see any of these kids making it at THFC.
Abbott is progressing nicely. Obviously, we will have issues about Keeley's NHG status.

We need to see a hell of a lot more. I haven't a clue what his best position is and what he actually excels at.Still have a few question marks about Olusesi, think we need to see a bit more from him in youth games. Don't think he'll be ready for a loan next year.
The u17 PL up final v Charlton is scheduled for Friday 11 April at 19.00, with that date being known for a couple of weeks now.
However there has been no change to the scheduling of u18's next match which is on Saturday 12 April away v WBA. I thought it might be moved to the Tuesday or Wednesday mid week following.
Seems odd as that's getting close (only 10 days away), so getting tight to re-schedule. Maybe we will play our best players in the u17 cup final, with who ever is left in the u18 match with some u16's playing up - the last u21 match of season is on Sunday 13 April so might not be too many 'overage' players available to drop down to help out the u18's if needed.
Our stadium is too large for size of crowd Spurs would get for u17 match - crowd noise would not be heard around the stadium and stadium would look only 20% full.
Stevenage (capacity 7,200) or Orient (9.271 and much closer to Spurs) make more sense from that point of view.
