Sunderland U18 4 Newcastle U18 2

The Academy have lost again!!!

Some these lads better start getting touch with last seasons losers who play at Gateshead, Newcastle Blue Star & see if they can join them next season.

As side splitting funny as that was, I reckon its some of players who have to go & maybe the 'coach's coach' Joe Joyce should get the heave ho. Not for just for this result but the general shiteness of the Academy this year & Sam has passed a few negative comments about the Academy.

Don't most of the academy players play for the reserves and U16's get drafted into the U18's? I thought that was why we are getting players in to fill the reserves like Tozer, Ngo Baheng and Kadar.

Just had brief look at the team today & Doninger trains with the first team. Cant think of the ages's of the others.

Yeah, I think that's right. Which speaks volumes about the set-up at the club and how it has been allowed to deteriorate (not the fault of the new manager / board of course).
