That would be awesome. A couple of young talents who had been worryingly absent recently showed up in today's 2-2 draw between Barnsley and QPR U23s. Olamide Shodipo, who hadn't featured in pre-season following his return from a loan spell at Colchester where he only got two starts and four sub appearances, was in the QPR line-up. Meanwhile Gerry McDonagh, who was released by Forest last season, featured for Barnsley, having signed for them on Wednesday: https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/u23s-qpr-report/ https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/mcdonagh-signs/

Ryan Cassidy with an assist in Watford's U23 loss to Birmingham at the weekend. Just out of interest, Timi Sobawale played U16 for us, but seems to have now declared for Nigeria, Is that correct? Also, is Elvis Ezeh any good and is he committed to us, considering he only lived in Ireland for 5 years? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

[Olé Olé]

Where did you hear that re Sobowale? He has a Nigerian flag after his name on his Twitter account I have noted. He was born in Ireland and has been in Ireland and has been here since so that would be a right pity.

Interesting to see Victor Moses retire from international football with Nigeria at 27. He grew up in England and played underage for England before declaring for Nigeria too.

[gastric]

When I looked him up, he was described as a Nigerian player and with his use of the Nigerian flag on his twitter account I thought I would ask the question. I hope I'm wrong!

parrott starts for spurs 23 s tonight up against whelan mccauley and kelleher who start for Liverpool with masterson on bench



Wow, that's really impressive - a promotion to the U23 squad after a mere four appearances for the U18s - and to top it all, he got an assist for Spurs' goal, as did McAuley for Liverpool

[gastric]

Watched most of the game. Spurs had a player sent off early on so it meant Kelleher and Parrott had reasonably quiet games. In saying that, Kelleger made one good save and Parrot is physically ready for this level. While he was starved of possession, he harried well and showed good vision. Maybe I am biased, but there is something about him which suggests to me, he will take this level by storm. ! Corey Whelan was a solid player who does what he had to do without setting the world on fire. McAuley was lIvely and worked hard and created Liverpool's penalty. He also missed a reasonably easy chance. A good performance overall. Masterson did not come on.

[samhaydenjr]

Wild one today between West Ham and Man City U23s with four goals in four injury-time minutes as Man City ran out 6-4 winners. A little disappointed that Josh Cullen was sent back down to this level but he did manage to get himself onto the scoresheet. Conor Coventry played for an hour while Tyreke Wilson was an unused sub: https://int.soccerway.com/players/josh-cullen/399878/

[pineapple stu]

Two for Simon Power so far in Norwich's game against Reading, and he's drawn a red card too. 10 to go in that one.

Great to see him adapt so quickly to Norwich. 20 years old; signed from UCD at the start of the year.

[pineapple stu]

Actually, Twitter is giving the second to Idah, with an assist from Power. But looks like he's putting in a man-of-the-match performance anyway; he has a couple of other mentions too

[samhaydenjr]

And the goalscoring by Irish U23s didn't stop there:

Michael Obafemi and Thomas O'Connor both found the net for Southampton against a Stoke side that featured 17-year -old Nathan Collins. Aaron O'Driscoll was an unused sub: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/20/england/premier-league-2-division-two/stoke-city-u23/southampton-u23/2864819/?ICID=PL_MS_09

Kian Flanagan scored for Crystal Palace against Crewe: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/match-report-for-crystal-palace-u23-vs-crewe-alexandra-u23-on-20-aug-18/

After coming on as a second-half sub, Aaron Connolly grabbed an injury-time equaliser for Brighton against Arsenal: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/20/england/premier-league-2-division-one/arsenal-u23/brighton-u23/2864666/?ICID=PL_MS_03

Yassine En-Neyah scored for Forest in a 3-3 draw with QPR. Shodipo started but limped off after 12 minutes: https://www.qpr.co.uk/fixtures/under-23/2018/qpr-u23s-v-nottingham-forest-u23s/

Conor Coventry training with the West Ham senior team this week

Josh Cullen involved in training as well, but he's been linked with a loan move to Charlton

[Diggs246]

I would call Josh Cullen up to train with our national team, nothing would be lost by such a venture

Quieter night for our U23s today - Yassine En-Neyah scored again for Forest against Watford (https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/1033070107680038913) but unfortunately suffered a serious injury in the game: https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/1033097826404843522

Elsewhere, Will Smallbone and Aaron Connolly were each credited with an assist for their respective clubs: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/24/england/premier-league-2-division-two/southampton-u23/manchester-united-u23/2864820/?ICID=PL_MS_05 and https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/24/england/premier-league-2-division-one/tottenham-hotspur-u23/brighton-u23/2864673/?ICID=PL_MS_08

https://www.flashscore.com/player/whelan-callum/IHV75N8s/
Probably not, he was born in Barnsley, although strangely I can't find any record of him being called into any international side.

[liamoo11]

https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jurgen-klopp-blown-away-development-15074416.amp .says kelleher third choice ahead of grabara. Up to now they seen to have been sharing the 23 duties. Hopefully if he Is third choice they send grabara out on loan So kelliher gets a Full season of 23 games

[DeLorean]

Mignolet seems to be trying to force a move too so possible he could end up as the number two? That would be amazing, maybe playing League Cup games and making the first team bench every week.

[tetsujin1979]

Another hat trick for Adam Idah this afternoon

Fantastic - Keep it up Adam!

Calls for him to be included in Norwich's EFL Cup squad tomorrow night

[Olé Olé]

The Twitter account had me thinking he had done this for their under 18 side but it was their under 23 side. Nice to see Simon Power getting in on the action with the assist. Interesting times for Idah. He has to be really knocking on the door now.

[Olé Olé]

Hughton set to give 18-year-old Irish striker a chance to impress for Brighton http://the42.ie/4205961

Aaron Connolly in the Brighton squad to play Southampton in the League Cup tonight. Could well start!

Fingers crossed Connolly and Idah start tonight. We could do with some good news for a change.

[tetsujin1979]

Can't see Idah starting if he played yesterday

Poor lad hope he comes back strong

Bad day for Troy Parrott as he was sent off late in Spurs' 2-1 defeat at Arsenal: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/31/england/premier-league-2-division-one/arsenal-u23/tottenham-hotspur-u23/2864677/?ICID=PL_MS_06

In happier news, Aaron Connolly followed up on his brief senior team appearance with a brace as Brighton U23s hammered Man City 5-0 (yes, you read that right): https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/08/31/england/premier-league-2-division-one/brighton-u23/manchester-city-u23/2864676/?ICID=PL_MS_05

Damn, think he had a pretty bad injury last season as well

[Olé Olé]

A lot of our brighter players that are eligible for under 18 clearly have progressed to under 23 and are fixtures there. Interesting trend. Hopefully it reaps an early step up to senior too.

[Bungle]

Damn, think he had a pretty bad injury last season as well

She mentioned that this injury was the same as last season but on the other leg. It seemed city were hoping for him to go on loan.

Anything you can do... Michael Obafemi plays his part in the Irish teenage U23 goal-scoring competition with a strike for Southampton against Fulham, assisted by Will Smallbone. Aaron O'Driscoll and Thomas O'Connor both played the full game while Jonathan Afolabi made a welcome return as late sub for Obafemi, after not featuring so far this season: https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2018/09/01/england/premier-league-2-division-two/fulham-u23/southampton-u23/2864829/?ICID=PL_MS_08

Not to be outdone, Kian Flanagan banged in a hat-trick for Crystal Palace against Barnsley, two of them penalties: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2018/september/u23s-report-crystal-palace-4-0-barnsley/

Meanwhile, Shane McLoughlin set up one of Ipswich's goals against Birmingham:https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2018/september/u23s-against-birmingham-city/

So, seven goals and a couple of assists for Irish youngsters this long weekend - not a bad return
