Thanks Leisure

Not sure if you'll have to register??

If it's on youtube I don't think it should require any registration.

Fairly sure that this is the 2019/2020 final.

Jon Worthington, Huddersfield coach, confirmed in pre match interview this is last year's final.

On a side note, I thought Huddersfield got rid of their academy due to costs? When did it get up and running again?

They did get rid of their academy but run u17 and u19 teams.

Live coverage ^^^

Huddersfield beat Blackburn on their way to the final, so they will be a useful team.

0 - 0 after 15 mins with the home team very much on top but without creating any chances.

Up to now this is a mirror of the Youth team game at Wimbledon. Very disappointing in the final 3rd.

Would by nicer if the commentary and match were in sync

Mirror image of the first team most of the time.
why are our teams so poor in possession..no composure?

0 - 0 at ht. Best I can say is that we're not losing. Defence has done ok but upfront, very poor.

But that's the least of our worries!

We need to get a foot on it and cut out the hoofball.

I wouldn't old your breath, all through the club our teams now play exactly the same way as the 1st team.

1 down to a penalty.

you are so right.
Watching this game you'd have to ask if our coaching encourages ball skills at all

An enjoyable watch and Udders have some excellent young technically gifted lads, but we weren't bad either and definitely had chances there after they scored. Shame the winning penalty was the result of an error and also a shame about the fisticuffs and sendings off right at the end, as it really wasn't necessary.

Ah well.

Thanks for the heads up Leisure.

Totally needless penalty, all caused because of the modern football way is to play our from the back. Had the defender just put his foot through the ball, he would have cleared it easy. Mind you he would have been criticised by Clarets fans for playing 'hoof' ball.
Ended up with a dismissal from each side after a melee of about a dozen players. Seemed to be caused by a stamp from a Huddersfield player but all totally needless.
It's not been a good week for our teams on the TV etc. this week!

having watched all 3 sides in 2 days i'd have to say that we really do need to up our game in terms of coaching, particularly in terms of individual skill.
We cannot hold on to the football at any of the 3 levels.

The standard of football on show in the two cup games I’ve watched this season at youth level is nowhere good enough for burnley football club just my opinion utc

I would certainly agree that the performances both last night and away at Wimbledon were very poor and disappointing but the U18's have had some good results this season beating Newcastle, Leeds (twice), Sunderland (twice), Man Utd and Everton.

Both been very poor but other results suggest they are not the norm.

Player sent off last night with the club yet again failing to mention it in the report. That’s four or five times this season in academy match reports.

Am I also right in thinking that last nights team were essentially all first year apprentices/scholars ?

No - four second year scholars started - Rooney, Armstrong, Unwin & McGlynn

But would they have been 1st year when the competition started last season?

Ah, that explains it

Didn’t watch it but the reports on the quality of football are disappointing.

I thought the U23’s were pretty awful vs Leeds. I’d expect at that level to see one or two that you think are getting ready for the first team but nobody stood out and some of the defensive errors/passing was surprising for that level.

We've still got a long way to go to have one or two ready for the PL.
