Sunderland AFC U18s


Seems to have moved down from 21s to 18s early on this season. Bit surprised.
For game time, 21s have 1st team players getting minutes at mo
Sunderland unfortunately, no excuses. Physical match which is what you expect from West Brom but you’ve got to keep your discipline.
Was a bit feisty 1st half, WB parents were quite vocal which u don't normally hear at academy level. SAFC lad at the back was brilliant at talking our lads through the game when we were a bit up against it. Just watched small sections while ball was out of play on u18s pitch

Still can play for the 18s probably better getting his minutes there and Trey moved back to 21s
Too old for 18s normally but can they play him ‘down’ as an overage player? You can’t in the League (overage goalie only) but I know that in the u17s cup you can have three overage outfielders. And 21s. So would be logical.
 
Definitely? I thought you still could at 18 but I must be mistaken.
Hi “
Under Premier League rules for the U18 league competition, clubs are not allowed to field any outfield players outside the U18s age category. However, the goalkeeper is permitted to come from the U19s age category “
 
.

Finally added an U18s tab on website and added the first player in Metcalf

Yeah he basically a u19. Easier to think of in school years. Leave school and you have 2 years as an u18
Yeah i think his year out has warped my sense of his age because last i remember he was just breaking into the u18s, i was thinking even in terms of school age he was eligible but must be an extra year older.

Not quite u18 but I’m sure he will play a bit this season. Looks like Forsyth is away with England u16
 
Enjoying the way the 18s are playing -good passing football contrasting with West Brom who humped it up long ball. Second goal was a great team goal. 21s too, there’s a clear vision there from the club. Coaches & Stuart English head of coaching deserve some credit as style of play is clearly coached into them.
