BP1960 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Latics youth v Morecambe. TPs squad have been beset with injuries, but you can be sure they will give it a good go. A home match we can actually look forward to. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/young-latics-face-morecambe-in-fa-youth-cup-on-friday-2819697.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hope it's good but it is so rare to see a Latics youth really make a strong career these days that the merit of watching youth games, which presumably are best enjoyed with an eye to the future, is open to question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very impressive all played well, shouldn't be long before keeper Chris Renshaw makes his first team debut. Jake Hargreaves was a real livewire in midfield, looking forward to seeing more of him and Lee Knight was very strong on the right wing. The corner kicks were excellent and we looked like scoring from everyone. The formation was 4-4-2 and it worked to perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 We never seem to get a kind draw in the FA youth cup. There are teams like Metropolitan Police, Ilkeston Worthing, and Accrington Stanely still in the draw, and we get a Prem team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Are any of them 6' 3"? We seem to specialise in developing youth players who look like they need a good meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to specialise in developing youth players who look like they need a good meal.Renshaw the goalkeeper, King and Stott the centre backs all look about 6'2"..the centre forward Kay about 6' 4". The right winger Knight looks 6ft. Edited November 28, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It was the Big Joe formation, the one TP always plays. But virtually none of the Prem teams play that way! 4-2-3-1 is the way to go with the dearth of wingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) But virtually none of the Prem teams play that way! 4-2-3-1 is the way to go with the dearth of wingers The youth played 2 wingers, great to see players running at defenders. Morecambe had a good winger too, Luke Jordan, like greased lightening and put in some great crosses. I'll be keeping an eye on his progress. I think it was the midfielder Rory Middleton who took the corner kicks, not seen many as dangerous in years.

And the southern kids may be knackered by too many stops for chicken nuggets on the long drive up One possible plus point, I am sure I had read that Bournemouth had a poor Youth setup as they had put all their money in the first team.

Doesn't put us favourites, of course. http://nervemedia.org.uk/news-team/afc-bournemouth-defends-academy-survey-reveal/ Edited November 28, 2015 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
