Some great link up play throughout, when calles upon Archie Cresswell simply bullies their attackers.
Some promising kids, but we all know most, if any won't make it.
You could see the style and formation is very similar to the first team in places, suppose it eases transition if called upon.
The CF wasn't Chdwick was it? He got 2 goals

Nice to hear about the playing style. I feel that by clearing out most of the 21's and promoting a lot of the 18's, Farke is trying to create his own system all the way through.

Chadwick is a midfielder, mate.

Good to hear he wasn't the one being complained about then. I've seen his name in the 21s squad recently too.

No Chadick is a midfielder, think we have Millwall in semi final but unsure where.

At home but no date yet

Great win. I think Marley Wilson is the one that carries a bit of weight ....

They look fairly decent. Can't imagine Liverpool are an easy opposition given all their resources, scouting, and kid poaching.

On the posted clip, that must have been who mental was referring to,

Marley Wilson can't be too bad though. He has been getting time with the 21's too

Thanks that clip SH.
Wilson :tup: they hauled him off later, looks like he could lose a good few pounds although he's a thick set lad, like that young dart player, my mate said he reminded him of gnonto, I said a young Troy Deeney.
Anyway great result, tbh, they bossed the whole game, we expected more from them considering their resources and talent at U21 and fisrt team level.
Shame our LB isn't a little older, he had a great game amd knew when to attack and also when to defend.

Great result.
Hopefully a couple of them are good enough to progress to the first team in a couple of years

Crew should be the next Kalvin

High hopes for Crew. He's definitely been fast tracked into the higher age groups. At 17, he's played for Wales U21's and he's even captained Leeds U21's.

He's probably not far behind Archie Gray on the development curve. Next season might be a big step up given we will/should be an underdog team in the premier league. But Archie and Milner have shown that it's possible.

Well done to the lads. Just shows we have a good crop coming through. Been a very long time since we were last in the semis, and with a very winnable game to come. Just hope the likes of Citeh and Liverpool don't try to poach all our players.

He should bypass the u21s and start training with first team in the summer. Pointless wasting 2 years in a crap league.

We've seen that DF isn't afraid to blood Archie, maybe this kid will get an opportunity sooner rather tahn later.
Pisses me off when he names 2 goalies as subs, why can;t he take a kid along to show them whats expected !!
One kid an away game will be a better long term experiance than 2 bloody keepers.
