Amazing run. I would say it’s a near certainty that a couple of these youngsters at the very least will eventually make our first team. Others will have a career. Don’t know who will do what, but from snippets Richard Chinn is one to follow.
Great team spirit there. Slightly surprised to see Henry playing with the U18s, I suppose they want as strong a side as possible whereas the U21s aren't really going anywhere
I thoroughly enjoyed the Wigan highlights. Some excellent action and goals.
Hopefully the Play-Off semi-final and, all being well, the final, will be available to watch live on our YouTube channel or Valley Pass. One of the very few highlights of 2016 (other than the protests against Duchatelet) was watching the Under 18s in a cracking national final at The Valley.
When do players find out if they are being retained etc?
Usually around now, possibly earlier. We always used to list next season’s new u18s in one of the last home programmes of the season (and might still do?).
I wonder if they will let a few more of the U23's go than usual to make way for more of this exciting U18 bunch. There seems a few older ones who haven't really pushed on this season and given the weaknesses in our team then 20+ year olds who have not yet got game time are unlikely to I would have thought.

On the other hand given we might have a slightly better budget we could take a risk on keeping some on for another year in case they come good.
Wassim is a good example. Seemed a great prospect but only just come back from a very long spell out. Hope he gets another year (don't know his contract length)

Ten men, we only had ten men

Charlton 1-0 Coventry City
Ipswich 0-2 Hull City
The Under 18s have won the South section title with 2 games remaining, and will play Birmingham or Sheff Utd in the play off semi final.
11 league wins in a row now.
Couldn't find anything on the website and can't be arsed to count through every single game.
All i can see via this thread is that Kanu is on a hot streak of a ridiculous 11 goals in 4 games.
Not seen his name on the U18s line ups
He scored another goal at the weekend - seems to be a proper player.
