So that's exciting. And we will see how that fills when the 1st years get announced. The u23's will be interesting. So many that I think could make it here, so many that need to be playing regularly or semi regularly at a better level than u23. Blondy Broome Coates Forrester Jones Sorensen Malone Sparrow Porter Adebambo DWP Varian Norton All should be out on good loans or around the first team imo. I've liked the look of Sy too when he's played but he's way less experienced so could probably do with playing more u23 football in the first half of the season. We've signed two of the players in the squad today. Anything or anyone I've missed let me know! oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/296080/stoke-city-development-academy-thread?page=30

Forgot to mention Macari too really. Not sure he will get as good a loan as some of the others but I definitely think he needs to be in the Conference/Conference North.
But it's going to be a tight balancing act between loaning them all out, first team needs (hopefully) and putting out a team for the u23 competitions. But the last one is a good problem to have.

Is there some kind of punishment for not putting out a good side in U23 games? Do you lose category 1 status or something?

You don't want a team full of 17/18 year olds who might not be good enough and for them to get battered every week but you don't want to keep a player here who may be better off served on a loan.

Players I'd guess to be first years: Tommy Simkin - G Tom Curl - D Max Asplin - D Jack Griffiths - M Zane Rattray - M Justin Iwobi - F
Josh Ireland 2nd year?? Who knows Mark Chidi now at WBA
Few trialists from back end of the U18s season bound be in there too

I suppose losing 5-0 every week can’t be good for a group of 17 year olds come to mention it. We often seem to have young sides regardless don’t we?

Like the bigger clubs tend to play their players at the level up because they're so much better. We had a pretty young u23 side last season for sure but Sparrow was the only u18 who played regularly for them. Most of the rest were recently promoted from the 18s.

Jacob Towns signed a scholarship with Forest Green Rovers under former U16 coach Jimmy Ball, been at England U15 camps.
U16 right back Louis Melia joined Kidderminster Harriers.

Excellent coverage from the club today as the u23s played Hanley Town.
Lost 1-0.
Missed a peno as we do.
Quite a few trialists too apparently.

Has Christian Norton going on loan to "continue his development". Doesn't say where to though.

Has Christian Norton going on loan to "continue his development". Doesn't say where to though. Probably just basing it on Pete Smith's story this morning. Suppose any type of Football League loan would be a result. National League wouldn't be bad www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/stoke-city-transfer-jan-kuchta-5649909The manager has been clear that he wants to bring in more firepower to support Steven Fletcher and Jacob Brown, with Sam Vokes and Lee Gregory expected to move on and Christian Norton to continue his development on loan.
