Some good skill and goals from the U18s there Pedro.
I was lucky enough to see our U18s beat Spurs 8-4 in the Youth Cup back in 2013. A few minutes on Google came up with 'where are they now' for the team that night. Sievers, Holding and Clough have made it to the big time, most of the rest are non-league. How many of the current crop will make it through to the first team do you think? It'll only be a couple I expect. Who really stands out for you?
BWFC U18s v Spurs Feb 2013
Jan-Ole Sievers – FC Kaiserslautern – Germany Jordan Hendrie – last known club Ossett Albion – NPL Div 1 Liam Gibson – last club Fylde AFC, now a strength and conditioning coach for JD Gyms in Heywood Rob Holding – Arsenal Niall Maher – Galway Utd Ireland Sam Bailey – Lancaster City - Evo-Stick Div 1 Chris Lester – Warrington Town - NPL Div 1 Dylan Wolstenholme – FC Droylsden – NPL Div 1 Zac Clough – Notts Forest Tom Youngs – VCD Athletic – Isthmian League Div1 North Tom Walker – FC United of Manchester – National League North Oliver Newby (sub) – Telford Utd – National League North

Very interesting piece of research there K. rivalling RFTR! So no champions in that year.
They seem to have so much more technique, pace and skill than our first teamers. Great coaching. I think David Lee is just getting better and better. Connor Hall, Jeff King, Jack Earing, Politic, Obasi, and the two Liams, Morris and Edwards have all impressed me. I would love to see an exhibition match between the U23's and the First team. I think the Under 23's would pass them off the pitch and possession stats would be well below 27% for the first team. I would wager on the youngsters scoring their usual 3 goals too.

Great game tonight at Leyland. Thoroughly enjoyable FOOTBALL from minute one. I had the great pleasure of seeing Connor Hall score his 20th goal of the season - yes twentieth Parky. Politic looked classy, Earing and King could all fit into the first team and show the current players up for their speed and skill and most importantly score goals for us. Interestingly Obasi was not in the squad. Injured or being saved for Derby?

Remember when Michael Ballack got injured before a World Cup 8 years ago. Germany's last hope was gone. The giant of football forced to playing inexperienced kids. 4 years later world champions. Another 4 and favourites to retain it.
France, Brazil, Argentina, Spain all have "superstar" players. Far more that Germany but that nucleus works and it's because they've all gone through it together.
I'd be happy to see 6 of these players in on Saturday. With the likes of Wheater, Henry, ALF. Let a team go in knowing what it's like to play fearless football. Yeah it might be too big a step up. But what's the argument for Parky keeping it the same. A lonely win away all season. System that clearly doesn't work. Worst away record in the league.

I have seen the U23's a couple of times this season. I am not sure that Hall is ready and may never be ready at Championship level. In considering his goal scoring record you also have to consider the level of the opposition. It seems to me that this is often overlooked in promoting his abilities for the first team. Sure he has to be tried but it wont happen before we are safe.

Another great game and great goal for Connor Hall's 21st for the season last night. Parky not there so presume he has given up. Whole U23 team has twice the pace, twice the goal creating and scoring potential and twice the fitness of First team. They play at 100mph for the whole game. Fantastic, entertaining FOOTBALL - Congratulations David and Tony, you could work miracles with the First team. www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2018/april/u23s-colchester-united-highlights/

He must be a bit slow on the uptake Connor. Does he not realise he will never get a game if he keeps scoring!
