Southend Youth. Happy.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Update Saturday 27th Jan 2018.
FT: #Blues U18s 2-1 @StevenageYouth U18s (EFL Youth Alliance South East Conference). Blues hold on in the second half to finish second in the league table following first-half goals by Emile Acquah and Sewa Marah.

| UPDATE: #Blues U18s forward Emile Acquah has now scored in each of his last seven appearances:
⚽️ Barnet (a)
⚽️ Peterborough United (h)
⚽️ Dagenham & Redbridge (h)
⚽️ Northampton Town (h)
⚽️ Gillingham (a)
⚽️ Milton Keynes Dons (a)
⚽️ Stevenage (h)

Anthony Wordsworth said this about Acquah.
''This kid is going to be a beast, great attitude and works hard.''

Don't they know it will take more than 6 and a goalie to stop him?

I see Luton just sold their 19 year old full back for £1.5M. What price Emile in due course, Bwomono, or Yearwood?

 

[PIM501]

Recent first-teamers from the youth set-up - Bentley, Smith, Bwomono, Yearwood. Has Matsuzaka played first team yet (Apologies if I spelt that wrong!)? Have I missed anyone?

Apart from the fact that only Bentley in your list has "made it" you have forgotten Jack Payne, Jack Bridge(??) Ngogo (who went to Liverpool now in Scotland), Iorfa (who played for Wolves) and probably some more I can't readily think of.

Update Saturday 17th Feb. Blues U18s 2 Oxford U18s 2. Emile Acquah scores twice, including a dramatic last-minute equaliser, to earn a point for Blues. He has now scored in each of Blues U18s last Eight games. Incredible at any level. He needs to keep working hard, keep focused, not get carried away, and I'm sure we'll see him in the first team squad for a game this season or the beginning of next. He already has the physical attributes.

I'd like to see Emile promoted to the u23s to form a partnership with Wabo. See if they can form a prolific partnership that could look to get into the first team.

When Norman was in the first team squad, Emile played a couple of U23 games in his place .

I think they are a similar style of player.
