Academy & U21s

[Tom]

Subbed after half an hour in his first game and now a red after 12 minutes - way to take your chance lad!

[DanielMB]

Whats happening with that boy?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Not many on the Rochdale fans board are impressed with him. Some want him sent back to Rovers already.

Get yourselves down folks to Ewood Park this Saturday 1 pm ko to see Rovers young lads in action against what will be tough opponents in Southend.

Watching players like Ryan Nyambe and Willem Tomlinson who have already tasted first team action playing alongside quality youg lads like Scot Warton, Joe Ranking-Costello, Stefano Mols to name just a few will be well worth your time in attending Ewood Park this coming Saturday.

According to the Rovers website it's £4 and £2 for concessions -http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/blackburn-rovers-fa-youth-cup-southend-united-2856216.aspx

The big thing for me is that the team has a player amongst it's ranks who's shown that he can score goals from outside the box which is always a plus.

Reading the LT article on the game maybe Willem Tomlinson isn't eligible to play.

Hardcastle signs a pro contract at Rovers

[Swanson]

Good news. He seems like a promising lad.

[blueboy3333]

Hardcastle reminded me a bit of Lee Makel when i saw him on the tv, with a bit of Lee Bowyer thrown in for good measure. I'm probably overthinking it. He's also got the look of a young Jasper Carrot in the photo on the article Chaddy linked.

Irregardless, Hardcastle will never reach the creative heights of his brother Paul's 80's chart-topping electronic wizardry.

That's something to be grateful for then.

Really curious to know just how closely Lambert might be looking at all our young one's.

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers won 1 nil

Tomlinson scored. A pen was the goal

Couldn't see any mention of Willem Tomlinson in that article folk devil.

[chaddyrovers]

Btw Tomlinson scored the winning goal

Maloney broke his hand a couple of weeks ago in training out at the minute but he still has eighteen months left on his contract.

Good result for the lads in FA Youth Cup tonight, beat Leicester 3-2 aet, who's the lad Costello ?

Scored 2, sounds like the lad is not afraid to run at defenders.

Villa away next.

A good lad from what ive seen came from United who's youth development allegedly ? which seems to be in bits totally devoid of direction at this moment in time.

Wonder who his agent is ?

Indeed. I read that their academy director quit today as well.

Well hopefully Alan Fettis is still a goalkeeping coach there.

Notice Scott Wharton has been given a squad number, may feature against Newport on Monday?

Not really a game for kids. It's going to be a man's game, let's hope we can find a few.
