Town midfielder Josh Carson will captain Northern Ireland’s U19s when they take on Germany in the opening game of their European Championships qualifying mini-group in Coleraine on Thursday. Blues academy midfielder Cormac Burke is also in the squad.

Carson, who has already won caps at U21 and senior levels, said: “I’m very proud to be captain. Representing Northern Ireland is brilliant as well, but being captain just gives it that extra buzz.

“It is a very tough start. Germany are always a good side with really good players that they always develop, you see their national team at the minute, they’re unbelievable.”

The Northern Irish youngsters take on Belarus on Saturday and Montenegro on Tuesday, both in Belfast.

Meanwhile, Town owner Marcus Evans is 19th in this year’s FourFourTwo Football Rich List with his wealth estimated at £625 million, the figures presumably having been drawn from the Sunday Times Rich List in May.

Good player - who in my opinion has been unlucky to be dropped. Should be on the bench as an impact player - as don't know if we need two defenders on the bench?

I agree completely Jas0999. Definitely in the 'Ambrose under Royle' impact player category.

Dickhead Jewell needs to give the younsters a chance - otherwise close down the Academy - probably easier to spend millions on dubious quality - quick fixes never work, need a long term sustainable strategy - some hope.

be realistic lads, PJ will bring them through the right way im sure..... we wont get out of this division with too many young players, we need the mix of both..... RK played quite a young side a few times and it didnt bode too well.....

Mutiny....since when has Jewell been a dickhead? Carson will earn his place in the squad when the manager decides the time is right, that's why he's the manager and thankfully you are not!
