We've got Coventry away One of the toughest ties as they are 2nd, behind Spurs, in their academy group.
Still our boys will no doubt give a good account of themselves.
The game will be played on the 3rd December, kicking off at 7pm, at the Ricoh Arena.
Our lads also play at home this Saturday, against Liverpool, kicking off at 11am at the Mich for anyone interested s it slides nicely into the WBA game later that day.
The Sheff Wed home game, that was postponed due to the weather earlier this season, has also been rescheduled for next Friday, the 29th, kicking off at 1.30pm

Should be a good game. One of my mates regularly watch the youth team games and seems imprssed this year with the lads. From the reports i ahve heard and read we are not looking a bad side this year. With wedderburn standing out for extra praise. We will as always make a good account of our selves, might make the trip up with my mate if he is going go on the youth team

It clashes with the reserve clash against West Ham (which is the day after our 'reserves' play in the Carling Cup). I can see the reserve match being cancelled.
I will try and pop down for the Liverpool match- I saw their reserves last season (containing many of the FA Youth Cup winning side) and they looked very good. It should be a decent test.

The Coventry game will be interesting.
I have a bit of knowledge on the Coventry team. It's not that they will out-football our lads but it will be a physical challenge as Coventry's side is predominantly second years and they do tend to use their full allocation of over age players.
As many know, our regular side is predominantly first years and as often as not includes at least a couple of u16s. It will be interesting to see if we decide to include the likes of Jimmy Phillips and other 1st year pros in the cup side if indeed we are allowed to do that in the Youth Cup as you are in the Academy League.
Looking forward to the Liverpool games on Saturday morning then delivering more of the usual to WBA in the afternoon.
