Hi All,
Luke Carey is making his return from injury after more than two years. The U18s are playing away to Millwall- It's a 10:30KO at Millwall training ground, if you can't make it to Fleetwood away, come and support the future! If you want to know anything about the U18s I'm your guy!
Many Thanks (I'm also U18's photographer if anyone is interested in game pics.

What position does he play?
@tommy12317 who are the players to look out for in the u18s this season?
I'm certainly not going to let a very youthful indiscretion cloud my option of him.
After a 2 years out and one bodged knee op most people would have given up. He made a mistake and being a very good mate of the lads, I wasn't the happiest about but we were all young once and I'm in fact the same age as the 2nd years. You have Brendan Sarpong Wiredu & Alfie Doughty both 2nd years who have appeared for the u23s on a regular basis. Jeremy Sarmiento who has only recently turned 15 and has as appeared for England U16, very skilful massive prospect. Report and pics to come from Saturday.
Many Thanks
Harry Pollard- Suspension soft red at home to Sheffield Wednesday
Luke- obviously back Saturday
Charlie moore- knee injury
Ed Harvey- GK-injured as well
But honestly best U18 the club has had in 15 years
Been a lot of good U18 sides recently.
Would like to see pics and read more about the games and players
As they have got older, the group has never really played consistently together due players joining different age groups or long term injuries.
I really hope they get a good FA youth cup run this year, as I really think they can do well in that competition, if they are able to put the right side out. Traditionally Steve etc, do tend to pick the strongest side, so it could be interesting.
My sense is with all the players fit and available they should equally on paper walk the league, but here, we have to consider the development of the first years and new scholars for next season, so again the side will tend to chop and change.
What would be the strongest U18 side in your opinion @Sid James Fan Club ?
Interested in hearing whose coming through and what they are like.

Good question, sorry not able to put in pitch format!
My initial view is you would firstly pick all the second years.
Thats........
GK Ed Harvey
LB Jordan Zemura
CB Harry Pollard
CB Sam Nwosu
RB Dan Birch
CM Ben Dempsey
CM Brendan Sarpong Wiredu
RM Luke Carey
LM Alfie Doughty
10 Albie Morgan
CF Alex Willis
They could change the shape to have Luke up front with Alfie and Alex and have Albie drop into midfield. Apart from one or two players that have left or been on trial, this has been the strongest line up for a good few seasons. Goal threats spread well across the team as well. All of these could get pro deals in my view.
Harvey
Birch | Nwosu | Pollard | Zemura
Carey | Dempsey | Sarpong Wiredu |Doughty

Birch | Nwosu | Pollard | Zemura

Will be interesting to dig this thread up in a few years time and see how many have made it.
That reads like a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 moving to 4-3-3
@Admin Can we change thie thread title and make this about the U18s this year? @AFKABartram @cabbles
Could be why they win a lot of games?
;o)
Edit:
Doh. Just read it again and realised that both Sarpong and Wiredu are actually only 1 player.
