It's a DEVELOPMENT team.
It's developing players so well that they are in the first team so it's a success.
God, some people will slag off even the most successful parts of the club
I am not slagging them off and I have alwayd said how amazing it is how many players we bring through and have been to a number of under 23 games to support them.
I just made the comment that 1 win in 9 games is not as good as last season, which it clearly isnt

No, you and Dazzler said they'd "fallen apart"
Yes they have.
A team that last year finished 2nd have started this season with 1 win in 9.

They have fallen apart compared to last season.
However even I can admit when I'm wrong and I have to say I didn't really think too much about the fact that we seem to have pushed loads more players into our senior squad than I perhaps realised.
Does feel like they could be doing better though. As Paulie says 1 in 9 is to any other team, Falling Apart.
Note how we both say Team and not Squad. Which I did omit from my initial post.

See that Stevenson. Would have played last night.
Yeah, falling apart.

If man city started next season with 1 win in 9 everyone would say they are falling apart.

So not falling apart
Arguably in terms of results in their league the U23's have fallen apart.
or maybe it would have been more accurate to say they've been picked apart by the forst team manager.

You do like to spout a lot of nonsense.....they are are all, bar about three players first year pros or U18’s. It’s a virtuallly new set up for this age group. As Henry said it’s a development side. The side has to also pander to whatever the first team do, that coupled with other match commitments that seem to effect their games more than most adds to the challenge when such a young side.

Agree but this is also an early opportunity for these kids.
It will be tough and they will lose games but I hope it means they have can develop faster.
It's not ideal but players like Lapslie, Morgan and tonight Toby have shown the system is working. It can't and shouldn't be judged on nine games.
To be honest I dont overly care about the results for our U23s or U18s... Its a good confidence booster for them but a defeat isnt the end of the world ... As said on another thread; this season we've had George Lapslie | Albie Morgan | Toby Stevenson all having good games for the First Team which has to take priority
Only time it'll ever start to fail for me is when we cant produce someone for the first team
i.e. Chelsea's Youth Squads - Now they're failing!!

I know what you mean, but I would say Jason Euell wants to win every game and rightly so, otherwise the 23 league is pointless for learning. My concern right now is the owner is continuing to devalue importance of the prep work for the likes of George Lapslie progressing to to the first team. I get the impression he thinks it normal academy players just rock up and become first team players. The breakfasts, transport and general cost compromises tell me he is quite happy to cut more and more on them as it does not effect his opportunity to sell on. Sorry probably stating the obvious here, but the travel thing this week is a perfect example of how poorly he is treating these lads. They are first year pros hoping to make at career at Charlton or elsewhere and he is completely devoid of what it takes.

He doesn't really care, he thought the club would be sold by now and presumably still thinks it will be sold within 12 months.
The 'falling apart' bit...as Henry said, it's a Development Squad, with many of last season's successful lot now playing or regular bench for first team. My matchday mates have relied on me, as a regular U-23-watcher, for insight on youngsters coming through, but the emergence of Dijksteel, Lapslie, Morgan, etc has meant that U-18s have become U-23s, and are playing catch-up a bit.

How many games have we won?
One in nine : - )
The Sunderland game was in the cup and against a Cat A side, I believe.
In the league the U23s were unbeaten in the first four game 3 draws and 1 win. Since that reasonable start we've list 3 and drawn 1.
Not up to previous very high standards if judging purely on results but as repeatedly explained it's a development side.
It is missing Morgan, Lapslie, Stevenson, Bowry, Reeco, Dijksteel and Umerah. Mascoll has just come back from injury too. The gaps are being filled by U18s.

Bloody typical that we're spanking Stevenage... They're the team we end up turning over.
