Our U18 team’s final home match of this season proved to be a disappointing affair. There was no teamsheet (again) and the tannoy hasn’t worked since November, but that’s OK, as there was no one present to do any announcements, anyway. The academy experience lately seems to be taking the form of an article of …
A thrilling end to a competitive game at Landore, our last scheduled U-21 home fixture. Our boys capitulated at the last to a determined and skilful Watford side just when it appeared we would seize victory. Line-up (4-3-3): Joe Collins; Tom Searle (s – Aimar Govea 63m), Iestyn Jones, Blair McKenzie, Caio Ifans; Milo Robinson …
The U21s lost their 5 year unbeaten record with a whimper at the main stadium today. A decent crowd and a lot of kids here on a sunny day, but the side could raise itself above a flat performance devoid of any real energy. A couple of key performers were missing but that doesn’t really …
A welcome return to winning ways for our U21s today at Landore. We fielded just 4 players from Monday’s youthful starting XI against Barnsley. Morgan Bates missed out due to a groin injury picked up in that game, so Tom Woodward was pushed forward into the centre forward role, flanked by Josh Pescatore and Caleb …
Decent weather for a change at Landore as our U-21 side faced Barnsley. We rather threw the game away – 2-1 up at an early point and looking in complete control, we conceded a weak penalty on half-time and had a disappointing 2nd half before succumbing to defeat at the last. It was another very …
On a day when Coventry competed on 3 different pitches in Swansea, our young U18s side fell short at the death in this encounter at Landore. The club administration seems quite unable to perform more than one task at any one time, so there was no teamsheet today. The visitors haven’t reported the game on …
A decent crowd at the stadium this evening for a match with our South Wales rivals. The weather had been quite pleasant during the day but, true to form, it not only bucketed down for a period in the 2nd half, there was also a bout of hailstones just after half-time! Coach Anthony Wright has …
QPR must feel a little hard done by with this result, having dominated much of the second half but without delivering the goods to reflect that control. Our side will have played better and lost, but all credit to the players – and to hat-trick man Morgan Bates in particular – for coming away with …
It was sunny for a change in Landore and, given QPR are one off the bottom of the PDL2 South division and we’d beaten them 7-2 away earlier in the campaign, the portents seemed encouraging. However, we were missing players such as Josiah Kallicharan, away on international duty, and fielded a very young squad. Bobby …
A fine and thoroughly deserved win for our U21s in the driving rain at Leckwith this evening. After the very youthful side put out earlier in the week shipped 6 goals at Charlton, this evening’s starting line-up featured just 2 U-18 players, Carter Heywood and Harlan Perry, with a number of scholars making up the …
