...I think I've heard good reports about Kenny. Sounds very, very promising.

Might be wrong but I thought Ledson was the one making waves? I dunno if its just lids spouting sh!te but I've seen some positive comments about him.

well they're both internationals, 16 yrs old and playing several years above their age group. 2 very good prospects.

Hey Swisso, are Ledson and Kenny playing in the U/21's due to the lack of bodies/good players in their position or are they playing at the level based on their form and ability?

Does that mean McLaughlin isn't that flash or does it mean that Kenny is playing really well?

Bit of both methinks!

Kenny and Ledson are doing really well, for such young guys they've got old heads on their shoulders. In answer to your original question, it's not often that 1st year scholars go straight into the Reserves/U21s without having some talent, but we're also in a situation these days where our Reserves/U21 playing squads aren't as big as they used to be.

Gone are the days when the odd senior pro would drop down if he was coming back from Injury or needed match fitness, these days they're largely exclusive squads.

Hey swisso is there any talents that the club are geniunely excited about? From all reports I've read Barkley and Rooney seemed destined for the big time from a young age

U18 won 1-0 away to Leicester. U16 won 2-1.

Game vs Chelsea tonight at Goodison

 

[Jozzy]

Hopefully the U/21's can get a win tonight, wouldn't it be great if everyone from the U/16 up to the first team win.

Just heading to this now with my lad, will try and post updates if I can for anyone interested. 14-0 my prediction to the blue boys, 11 for hope and 3 for Long COYB

Cheers mate, let us know how they get on.

Really interested to hear how Kennedy get's on.

2 - 0 Chelsea at half time. Not seen much of Kennedy, but may just be because he's on the far side. We've had a few chances, but nothing that's seriously troubled their keeper.

Nice world record attempt for consecutive step-overs from Conor Grant though.
