Comment | U18s Lose at Coventry
at 14:49:47
Agree with Up the Town 4. From what I've seen, and what I understand, the manager has lost the respect most of the players, and the worrying thing is that even the U-16 lads coming up don't particularly want to work with him. No one ever plays in their correct position, and the games I've seen at Playford Road involve the manager shouting more at the players and officials than actually encouraging the lads. Shame Klug didn't want to come back as the Academy appears to be in a real mess, and Osman appears to have no idea how to encourage and motivate kids. Shouting at them isn't the way to treat 16-18 year olds. |

Comment | Bennett Only Scholar to Be Offered Contract
at 20:49:14
Having seen a lot of U-18's games this season, I feel that releasing O'Donnell is a huge mistake as he is far better than Cody Cropper.
Bennett - when played as a right-back and NOT a midfielder (or centre back as of late) is decent, and worth giving a contract to.
Maduako although clumsy, has been our most improved player this season and deserved a chance, especially given our lack of cover at centre-back.
Jones has played most of the season out of position - he's a midfielder and NOT a right-back - so he can count himself unlucky as he's never played in his best role.
Same can be said for Tiofack, who when played in his central role is a great creator for others, although he lacks a finishing edge.
Not seen much of Scotcher so can't really comment. |

Jewell's comments just go to prove how inadequate he is when it comes to handling young players - his comments were a disgrace. All of the academy lads will know soon if they have a contract or not, so his comment that "We've not made any final decisions on any of the players yet.” is untrue - he knows full well. Regardless if the story is true or not, he should be supporting young players - especially those that are at the club - not humiliating them. Why did he feel the need to comment? Plenty of other stories about youth team players have appeared on TWTD without Jewell passing comment, and if as he says, Arsenal can have Tiofack for £2m, then he'd better offer him a contract as otherwise he'll be walking for free. Disgraceful way to handle a young player trying to find a career in the game. |
