George Danaher’s side put seven past Walsall in Quarter-Final
- Young Terriers showcase excellent performance to win against Walsall - Goals from Conor Falls, Etienne Camara, Pat Jones (x2) and Brahima Diarra (x3) - Win sees them progress to EFL Youth Alliance Cup Semi Finals

Diarra looks the most promising prospect to me took his goals very very well. not surprised he had that spell in and around the first team a couple of months ago

Diarra looks the most promising prospect to me If he keeps his focus and continues to work hard in all aspects, he could have a very very bright future

B team playing today against Bratfud reserves. Noticed that Matty Daly is starting for us- having not been on the bench the last few first team games after doing well enough against Middlesbrough. I assumed he was injured.
There did seem to be a great deal of hype around him at one point, he signed a new contract a few months ago, but he's not managing to displace a very going-through-the-motionsy Pritchard for the customary 20 minutes every other game. A bit confused of our management of him

Strange to see Ben Jackson playing as well.
In terms of Matty Daly, it's easy to forget he's still only very young. He only turns 20 next week. He's the same age as Scott High & Ben Jackson and 2 year's younger then Edmonds-Green & Chrichlow

Last minute change to the line up see's Chrichlow coming in for Ben Jackson.....Guess the guy who put the team list on Twitter got it wrong and put Jackson instead of Chrichlow :-)

Ben Jackson just come on as a sub after 32 minutes and Tommy Elphick opens the scoring after 34 minutes
When Jackson was loaned to Bolton it did say that he could be recalled after 28days. I don't know if this means anytime after 28 days. He was loaned to Bolton on 16th Jan.

He was on the bench for them last night I think in some cases players on loan still train with there parent clubs part of the week As our B games are basically arranged friendlies I suspect we may have asked Bolton if they want Jackson to get 60 mins in the tank as he's not played a lot recently

now playing for a non league club in London- sounds like our kind of signing! might be worth a look. Made me look for who our players on the next generation list the seasons we were in the PL were: Jordan Thomas (since poached by Norwich- who were also in for this Kasinga lad), and Olagunju who's still with us and looks a good prospect.

I read this yesterday. I know the article was written about the effect on the young players when they are released by their clubs and how it affects their mental health but there was a statistic in there that was of interest to me. "180 of the 1.5 million players who are playing organised youth football in England at any one time will make it as a Premier League professional. And more than three-quarters of academy players are dropped between the ages of 13 and 16" Read that the other way round and only 1 in 8,333 will make it as a Premier League professional. Using (very) crude statistics you could then say that only 1 in 2,000 (or so) will make it as a professional in the top 4 leagues. I've talked about this with our Careers Adviser at school because, every year, we get kids who sign up at the age of 16 for football academies being run by local non-league clubs. They are sold a promise of the chance of a league club picking them up, or they might get a scholarship to the USA. In reality, it's just not going to happen - if they were any good to start with they would have been picked by a professional academy anyway. Let's be honest - the 1 in 8,333 is just an average figure - Phil Foden's odds were always much, much shorter than the average kid in the street who plays for his local club. There's also a lot of luck involved - who knows what would have happened if this lad hadn't had the injuries? It just shows how expendable you are to the club and they perhaps need to provide more support to these kids who have suddenly had their entire career pulled out from under them. A lot of these kids (and even more importantly their parents) need to be more realistic about their own abilities. No one is stopping them playing football - they just have to realise that it is extremely unlikely that they will make a career of it.

The kids in the Academy really do need to have a plan B or an idea of what they are going to do if they don't make it. Those around them need to play a part in getting them thinking about what they are going to do if it doesn't work our and they don't make it. Unfortunately, a lot of time the kid themselves and those around them only focus on making it as a footballer. When that doesn't happen, they don't have much to fall back on. The Academies are trying to address this themselves by making education a part of the 2 year Scholarship. However, naturally the Academy will focus primarily on Football

However, naturally the Academy will focus primarily on Football Education has to be part of the scholarship - everyone (in theory) has to stay in some of form of education, employment or training until they are 18 so the club wouldn't be able to offer a scholarship without the education part. I assume they do a BTEC qualification (I seem to remember we had to get permission from the FA when we were in the Premier League and we had a scholar wanted to study A Level Maths at the same time) which will give them something if they don't make it in football. My own personal concern, though, is not necessarily the ones who don't make it in the professional academies. It's the ones who are signing up to local non-league football clubs for their post 16 studies. Examples of clubs round here who run them are Ilkeston Town, Long Eaton and Mickleover Sports (maybe Belper and Matlock as well). Derby County also run one as well as their regular academy. Kids are signing up with the idea that some professional club is going to pick them up. In reality these clubs use them to a) find the best local talent for their own first team and b) because they get funding from the government (in the same way that sixth forms and colleges get it). At the end of 2 years they have a Level 3 (or maybe a Level 2) BTEC in Sport, except that it doesn't cover a number of sports - just football. They are then trying to go into an industry that is already saturated, competing against other people whose Sports qualifications are much more varied. If they'd gone to Derby College (our equivalent of Kirklees College) they would have a more rounded Sports qualification. But these kids just want to play football.

You're absolutely right, the dream of football is sold by these non league clubs.

In some instances signing up for a non league team for your post 16 studies might be a good move for one kid, but not for others, all depending on differing factors

Too many parents are blinkered - first of all they think their child is a brilliant footballer and has a real chance of making it in the professional game and secondly, they don't want to upset their little darling by telling them that that is not the right thing for them to be doing. I know I sound like a middle-aged grump (I probably am one, if I'm honest!) but I've worked in a secondary school for too long!
