England U-19 Discussion Thread #3 (2005 born) [R]

I think he's been injured, nothing major

 

Sounds like a massive screw-up on Scotland's part. What are they doing even attempting to assemble a bio-secure bubble if they haven't ensured that nobody's infected?

 

Apparently they did a first round of tests to OK everyone for today's game and then a second round of tests a few days later to OK everyone for their next game in a few days time. This guy passed the first test then failed the second.

I don't think Scotland screwed up, just that this is a limitation/consequence of the system that has been set up to keep football rolling and a coincidnece of the test result coming in at an awkward time. Even at the top level it's not like they are giving people quick, 100% accurate tests 5 minutes before they walk out onto the pitch. What odds a player has already played in a Premier League match with asymptomatic COVID caught between test and match?

 

England players left St George's Park on Saturday according to Sky Sports.

On Tuesday, Miguel Azeez got man of the match against Crawley in the EFL Trophy. TheSecretScout made a compliation.

 

Elliot with a goal and assist for Blackburn in a 4-0 win today. Looks like he’s started well there. Still only 17.

 

Dont worry as a Blackburn supporter im pretty sure elliot will end up at leftback. He likes putting players in their wrong position does mowbary

 

Decent strike from Madueke: https://streamja.com/GZ1Kv

J. Mcatee 38'
J. Philogene-Bidace 63',78', 90'

Derby's line-up was labelled as U23's but was far from their normal lineup. It was mostly 2nd string and U18's:

Sykes-Kenworthy - 3rd choice U23 keeper (Idem, Foster)

Bardell, - 3rd choice RB (Ebosele, McDonald)

Wassall,

Minkley,

Williams - 1st year scholar, usually plays winger/AM

Dixon,

Thompson,

Hutchinson

Shonibare,

Cresswell

Wilson

 

Some strike that!
