Ah, thanks for that.
I was surprised to hear them say our next league game was another away one in a couple of weeks time, and was wondering why. Should be good preparation for our U19's involvement in the youth version of the CL.
U18s: Middlesbrough vs United

Definitely could have been me so I'll put my hand up. He is going so much better this season so far. I didn't like him much for awhile a year ago. Big boy for 18's so we will see when he steps up to 21's and reserves. Looking good though.
Fair play. And to be fair to you he did improve a lot towards the end of last season. But I'd say the talent was always there and you could see it early on.
Thanks to everyone for their observations and commentary. With these awful camera angles I have stopped watching the youth and reserves. Gives me actual headaches. So great to read about them.
With all the branding PL has done, it’d be nice if they set some minimum standards to the U18 Premier League and Premier League 2. The product itself is damn good but the way it is often broadcasted is not.
Which players are missing - due to injury or not being cleared to play yet ? Not counting those who have been moved up to the U21's
Fletcher x2, Curley, Amass, Sharpe, Wheatley and Kingdon - who else am I missing ?

Berry and Lacey. Kaba also not there but might be simply not selected.
What is going on with Fredricson?
Thats interesting. Was he going up against United CBs who handled him well, or was it a collective effort? Did he still stand out for Boro, even though they were getting a hiding?
Thats news to me as well! And that is different than the Darren Fletcher twins? Confusing!
True.
We could have a diamond midfield of Ibragimov, Fletcher, Fletcher, Ibrovic-Fletcher.
There's also a couple of younger Ibragimov's on our books.
In what sense? He's not an U18 any more
Has he featured for any of the teams this season / pre-season yet?
As you say, he's not an U18 player now but there's been plenty of opportunities for him to feature in games so far at various levels but I don't remember seeing him feature in any. Is he currently injured?
Fredricson did not play for a quite a long time or mentioned, so probably injured
