(Another new name to get used to!)

This thread could be a place to post match dates, venues, KO times, previews, reports, observations etc. for our (U20s) games this coming season. I know the Renegades and caleydawsons (and others) are regulars at these games and it's always interesting to hear their thoughts.

 

CaleyD reported on another thread that 5 'over-age' players may be permitted for this re-branded league.

Another change I can see is that there are going to be 17 teams involved - that's a busy 32 game season.

The 12 Premiership clubs are supplemented by Hearts, Hibernian, Falkirk and The Rangers from the Championship with League One's Dunfermline Athletic also involved.

 

The season starts (for us) on August 5th - next Tuesday!

It was a last minute goal that we lost, Polworth was on top form last night apparently

Any idea on our scorers?

I do not i'm afraid.

Our U20s had a game with Ross County yesterday and it finished 1-1

Next game is tomorrow vs Dunfermline at highland football academy in Dingwall, 2pm KO

Was there anybody there ???................. knock once if we won ...please

We beat Dunfermline 3-2

Thanks tm4tj Good result for a change, though we are still shipping goals.

I think one of the reasons for shipping goals and fairly regular gubbings is the fact that every week seem to put out something resembling an U17 squad......and Lewis Horner.  The fact that you're now allowed five overage players, with other teams presumably using it, probably won't help either.  

 

Since the return of the U20/reserve/Development League you could go to a match and in wasn't inconceivable to see Esson in goal, Devine and Tremarco in the defence and Nick Ross, Ryan Christie and Liam Polworth in the midfield.  Even then, there'd be U20 players who'd been at fairly prominent previously; Matthew Cooper at Aberdeen, Joe Gorman at Crewe and Adam Evans at Burnley for example.  

 

Now surely getting gubbed every week can't be good for youth development or confidence.

I see Aberdeen's U20 won the league today. Maybe worth a look for potential loanees for next season.

Yesterday we played Partick Thistle and drew 2-2. We were 1-0 down at ht then they scored again not long after the re-start, before Ali Sutherland with around 5 minutes left scored. Then we made it 2-2 with minutes left from a Liam Polworth free kick which the keeper doesn't catch it clean enough and it ends up in the net.

 

Quite sure that the season is over or just has one maybe two games left, either way next season they can build on what they have been doing this season.

Next Tuesday is the final game of the season - Home to Falkirk. (Ironic)

TCS or the academy?`

Hasn't been announced yet but I would assume TCS.

Final score today:

Inverness CT 0-3 Falkirk

 

Another, dismal result confirming that we have finished 17th and last, with the least goals scored and the most conceded.

How concerned should we be, if at all?

Just out of interest, is there relegation in the developmental league? I recall Rangers getting promoted to the league few seasons back.

It's a closed shop I think.  Rangers weren't promoted in, they were invited to compete.

Thank god for that then.

None, this team next year i can see being mid-table maybe even pushing top 5/6 

It would be interesting to know if any of the Falkirk 1st team played today given their fixture gap before the Cup Final.

Had a look at their line-up and the 14 players used, with their total caps this season. The only guy to start a league game was Maybury, but his last appearance in the first team was in November. I'm surprised they didn't take the opportunity to play some first-team guys...I doubt any of these players will feature against us. Possibly keeping their 'cards close to their chest'!
