    Was a mess of an XI

    Bishop - Bogle, Guehi, Lowe, Pearce, Shackleton, Dasilva, Loader, Nketiah, Hirst, McNeil.

    No idea who played where.

    Simpson just said that one of the Guatemala players made a racist comment to two of our lads. Sounds like they handled it well though.

    Hopefully Nketiah gets a loan this season. Can’t stay another year at Arsenal making up the quota.

    Be interesting to see which of him, Ramsdale and Balcombe assert themselves as the U21 starter in the autumn. Gotta think Ramsdale has the advantage right now.

    (I think it should be Nathan Baxter but then I would)

    I don't think Balcombe will hold up to any scrutiny. Seems like he's just getting games by proxy of being around squads and consistently being available.

    Ramsdale was 4th choice for the U21 Euros, suspect it's his to lose atm.

    Nathan Bishop went to Toulon.

    Who else is in the picture?

    Brandon Austin, Ryan Schofield, Will Huffer?

    The wrong forum but how did Ashby-Hammond look in Liverpool’s FA Youth Cup games?

    He only played the Semi Final and, from memory, he was mostly unremarkable in all regards. Fine prospect, just a way off yet.

    Leif Davis at Leeds may be a welcome addition to the left back options.

    He is very good. Read an article somewhere about how much Bielsa loves him. Even talk Liverpool have been interested. Think they got him from Morecambe.

    99s still eligible for the Elite League too.

    Sibbick, Leko, Brereton, Bowler, Ty Campbell + Ennis could have decent seasons ahead.

    Ryan Giles + Reece Hutchinson potentially worth a look at left back too. Happy if they use the U20s to just involve more periphery guys.

    Is Nmecha definitely injured? Did wonder about his general absence from pre-season and recent games. Wouldn't shock me if he moved soon.

    On Nmecha. Not 100% sure. Think leaving has got to be a possibility. Garcia, Doyle, Bernabe with the midfield starters first u23 game of the season.

    New coaches have been announced. Thought I'd put them all in this thread rather than 1 by 1 in a different thread:

    U-20: Keith Downing
    U-19: Paul Simpson
    U-18: Ian Foster
    U-17: Kevin Betsy
    U-16: Justin Cochrane
    U-15: Lee Skyrme

    What’s the intel on Ian Foster? Anyone know anything about him?

    Worked with the U17s for the past couple years, including during the World Cup win. Before that he was at Portsmouth as a first-team coach.

    Ok, well that’s fair enough, a natural progression for someone that’s been in the setup for a while, makes sense.

    Should also add this from the FA Website:

    'All coaches will work to a three-year cycle, moving up through the age groups and working with a group of players over a longer period, enhancing individual and team development and focused on qualifying and competing in major international tournaments.'

    'For the first time, this cycle will be introduced at the younger age groups.'

    All sounds good.

    Sounds promising but how does that work exactly? Can’t see Boothroyd being part of this cycle plus won’t it be just three age groups involved in the rotation?

    Edit: just read the info on the FA website, so if I’ve got this right, the U15-U17 coaches working in one cycle and U18-U20’s in another cycle?
