Jim Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 23 minutes ago, Ethel The Tree said: Full time What a win for the U21s. Despite having to play the entire second half with 10 men, the Owls claim maximum points after Agbontohoma's late winner. A real gutsy effort. Everyone played their part. A tremendous way for Neil Thompson's side to kick off the season. Fantastic result by all accounts - well done to Neil Thompson and the boys Our first opening game victory at this level since 2018 You’ll see an improvement now Thompson has the reigns again. Goals for Cook and Agbontohoma are a thumbs up for our recent recruitment for this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Top work by Dom Howson ! About time We get decent coverage of underage football, hopefully first of many. Great win by the lads and excellent start to the season, should do a lot for their confidence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good coverage. From Dom Howson's detailed coverage, to the game report on Official site, to quality of photos, urgency of getting article uploaded... Very happy with work done by everyone involved. Terrific start to the youth season by both guys on the pitch and press following them 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bassett Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Very very pleasing result and interaction from the club. Great to see. can anyone confirm if Sesay lined up on the left of a back three in a 3-5-2 or did we play 4-3-3 with Al-Jahadmy Cook and Cadamarteri up top?

Howson wrote that We played 3-5-2 like first team usually play. Sesay played CB with Aguas and Fusire at wing back and Al-Jahadhmy as attacking midfielder behind Cook and Cadamarteri.

Mike Bassett Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Thanks @malek i thought that's the way we would go but just needed clarification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Pal of mine said Cadamarteri looked average at best, new lad Cook got a decent turn of pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatNebber Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Pity there wasn't a bit more notice given by the club that the game was on but a good result. Since they started playing at Stocksbridge the results have largely been terrible (I've seen them lose 4 games there with a combined score of 13-4). The next home game for the lads at Stocksbridge is apparently Friday 19th so a good excuse to start the weekend early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the majority of his work today was defensive as that’s how we had to play. I want him involved in the pizza cup games this year but we have to give him game time at the highest level to progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I, but he'll only deserve the chance by performing consistently week in week out at PDL level The Bradford game might come too soon Who knows, Luke Cook could jump the queue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want Rio Shipston to get a chance too but he’s currently not making the under 21 starting 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bassett Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Shipston is for me our most promising prospect but it's very telling that he's not in the starting eleven nor has he signed a pro-deal yet. I hope he's not another talent we lose without unlocking his potential 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Sixties Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The full programme of fixtures for First Team, Development Squad and U-18s are easy to find on the Club's website, together with k.o. times. Hope we are going to be allowed in at Middlewood Road to see the Academy side, this was taken away from us last season because of the covid situation.

Jay Glover, Leojo Davidson and of course Pierce Charles I think consistency in matchday squad selection will be the key That's a luxury Neil Thompson and Lee Bullen before him have been denied ... up until now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bassett Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The U18 squad list on the OS has been updated, new players Jake Bradford and Mario Boboa are listed but I'm guessing there are more to come as first year scholars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
