Just got back and was a good game but the weather was fierce ! But we won 3-2 and deserved the win. Did any one else on her go down tonight ?

Thanks Harry........good win,who is next up?

Didn't go but I kept up with the score on twitter. It was a great result for the lads and Bodin. Let's hope they progress even further.

Not sure who is next mate but hopefully another big side at the County Ground would be good. That Miles Storey looked a class above tonight and one of our lads scored a beauty of a free kick.

Just read that draw will be made at the end of this week.

Cheers..

Storey looked handy when he came on at Crawley. Let's hope he can push his way in to the first team squad over the next 12 months!

Who was the lad who scored the 3rd goal then Dirty HARRY  ;)

Some kid called Harry Grant wasn't it? Whoever he is ;)

Storey in the squad for Saturday?

Great result. Is the giant back any good?

Sorry terrible with names but i think B3nny has got it right ! and to be honest looking at Storey last night he should have played against Rovers.

I think that I am right when I say that Harry Grant, the youth team captain who scored the third goal is the nephew of Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen.  He's obviously got a bit of a pedigree too & the goal sounds as if it was a class shot.

Family links to Town through Les and Paul then.

Got Man City at home, will Alex Henshall play agaisnt us? Is he still in the Man City youth team?

If Fitton didn't have a " can't play for City against STFC" clause in his contract, then he should go...

Probably the hardest possible draw...will go to that and should be a decent crowd.

Dream draw for me. Work for Man City and get to go back to the CG for the game.

Loving this draw!!


Henshall starts every Academy game and has 4 goals this season. Boy really has talent!!

Going to be a cracker of a game. Look out for Devante Cole (son of the famous Andy) and his strike partner Jordi Hiwula. He's got 14 this season in 13 games.

Good draw against a big name but just because the Man City first team is good does not mean the U18'S will be as they haven't spent a billion pounds on that have they.

Not yet! They're spending quite a lot on it though...

Is it now common place that Premiership youngsters have to have stupid names?

Think it was a policy brought in just before they decided not to pay small clubs for youth players

Let's balance it. They also have Adam Drury, Greg Leigh, Alex Henshall (of course).

Better DV??

Going to take my lad along to this, he plays in the Wilts U18's floodlight premier league and is doing really well considering its his first season and he is only 15. Watched all his games so far and the U18's is a good standard so it will be nice to see a much higher level game at Swindon.
