ASLEFshrugged

Wesley's replacement is Ricky Martin who joined the Academy in January after working with the kids at Norwich, Cambridge and livin la vida loca.

MrsGrey

I don't think I'd registered this '2nd chance' thing going on. It's great!

The Second Chance Academy model is delivered in conjunction with the Academy and was created to give players aged 16-19, who have been released by clubs, another opportunity to return to professional football.

Also, you know...

We're playing rush goalie!

He's been in their half three times, and on the third one, beat a man and laid the ball off.

1-0 to the Irons!

4-1 in the end, with what may have been a Nathan Holland hat-trick.

The team we played seemed to have a couple of older (not youth) players

For us or someone else? I’m not convinced he’ll come close to making it for us tbh

OldCastleSwift

Running his contract down I suspect

MrsGrey

Ace, I'd like to hope so but, at 22, he's not got much longer to step up or be shipped out.


OCS, it's only until December, so it may be that he'll be given another chance with us, or will still command a fee.

McHammer

Dmitri Halajko will be out new under 23 coach. He has worked with Ricky M before.

PrestonHammer

Ricky M? Is he Boney M's brother?

grey_til_I_dye

Isn't he the one Living the Vida Loca?

McHammer

Zavon Hines named under 14s coach. I remember thinking he was our next star that would make it once. He had a couple of great games including one against Liverpool.

Hamstew

Scored the winner v Villa
