Ok, so he broke DNA rules if this article is true? I wonder what rules he broke as I'm sure Boothroyd broke rules during the Summer when he reverted to Hoofball at times but see he's not part of the FA ' shake up '. I wonder if Micciche was Ashworths 'best mate' it might have helped his cause.
Wrong thread but it's linked to the above - but what are peoples thoughts on Dan Ashworth? He seems beholden to absolutely no-one - and whilst the younger groups are doing well, how much is it down to him and how much is it down to the academies producing better players as part of EPPP and the fact these boys have had much more high level coaching more generally from a younger age. The Boothroyd question hangs over him and won't go away also
I wouldn't even know where to begin with separating these out to apportion credit for the progress we seem to be making. How would you do it?
No idea really, more just thinking out loud. For all this talk of DNA, when i watch England at all the youth levels I don't see a clear blueprint being adhered to like is so obvious with Spain as an example.
I was surprised to see Dan Micciche had been sacked as u16 coach. I had the impression he was very "progressive": https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4381925/england-sack-u16s-boss-dan-micciche/

Not another one lost I hope. Not an official tournament I know but it's in preparation for the qualifying games so might indicate he will play for them from now on? Kind of surprised as I always got the impression he was proud to play for England from past tweets.
I've heard Charlie McCann has signed for Man Utd. Feel for Coventry. They producing some good players but the incompetence above has hurt them so much they in the 4th tier now.
Coventry confirmed it. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2017/se...nsfer-of-charlie-mccann-to-manchester-united/
Can anyone clear this up: It seems that in some parts of the video is parts of the U16s taking on Qatar? Does anyone have any links to the full game ?
Just been taking a closer look at this group & the split between club 16s & 15s. High percentage of club 15s ? 25 vs 21 I'm sure others will be able to help me out ? 16s Moulden Jinadu Robinson u18 debut Caiger u18 debut Dennis Simeu Wood-Gordon u23 debut Dorsett u18 debut Harwood-Bellis Mengi Walcott Cover u18 debut Bondswell u18 debut Hoare u18 debut Madueke u18 debut Pendlebury u18 debut McCann Mighten u18 debut Sarmiento u18 debut Gelhardt u18 debut Rogers u18 debut Smales Brown u18 debut Greenwood u18 debut Garcia U15s Sanneh Collins Smith Livramento Harris Brooking Wilson u18 debut Sohna Musah Hodge Tetek Azeez Elliott Palmer Osorio Knight u18 debut Carvalho Pennant Okoflex u18 debut McAtee Thompson
Interesting how footage always seems to surface in these types of videos. Some of the Sancho compilations have the clip of him scoring a screamer against Ireland that none of us saw too.
U16s are off to the Val-de-Marne tournament next week, matches on 25th, 27th and 29th, so squad details should start to emerge. FA won't publish it as per their policy though.
