The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

[Royals and Racers]

1-1 scrappy equaliser from a corner.

[Sutekh]

Today’s team
Andresson
Watson
Samuels
Odimayo
Beeden
Osho
Nolan
Pendlebury
Liddle
Caetano
Nevers
Subs
Boyce- Clarke
Lawless
Nditi
Frost
Trialist
Osho back from his Yeovil loan
Watson back off loan as well ?

So looks it will be a very similar squad as for the first game for the replay at Blackpool then.

[Royals and Racers]

H-T 1-1

[Royals and Racers]

1-2 another goal from a corner 60 mins
2-2 65 mins Conor Lawless
2-3 68 mins another really scrappy goal to concede

[Royals and Racers]

3-3 cracking free kick from Tyler Frost 82 mins

[Royals and Racers]

Bearwood is very much work in progress but when finished i`m confident that the Royals will have a training/Academy centre which will rival those of the top Premier league teams.
The U23`s were good value for their point against the league`s top team. The downside was the 3 West Ham goals which all came from corners and all were scored from inside the 6 yard box. It was good to see Watson and Osho back, looking fit and playing well. Thierry Nevers was kicked from pillar to post all afternoon but looked useful. I do like Tyler Frost, who scored a cracking free- kick goal from just outside the box and can`t quite understand why he doesn`t start more for the U 23`s.

Dont Frost and Nevers play the same position?

has Frost been injured? He always seems to contribute, but not seen much of him recently. Good to see Nolan playing as well - how did he get on?

Nevers plays left wing . Frost normally is around centre midfield.

Nolan played well. He has come back from injury i think and was subbed 2nd half. He appears to be growing in size and seems to have baulked up a bit. Definitely a decent prospect.

Cheers. My bad. Thought he was a left winger too.

Maybe you were thinking of Josh Barrett who played on the left.

Nah was def thinking of Frost. It was probably just a random Football Manager game mistakenly had him as a left winger and I absorbed that.

Frost strikes me as one of those direct attacking midfielders that can probably get away with an attacking midfield role left, right or centre.

Yeah, pretty sure he's been used as a wingback before so can see why Seth thought he was a winger. He's one of the U23 players i'm never sure where he's being used.
