Nice insight on "Caoímh" and his development.
Nice to see Bazunu establish himself firmly as number 1 with man city U23s after shaky start. Also of note James Furlong progresses from u18 to U23s making his debut today. Although Brighton played with kids midweek so perhaps that’s the reason there’s a spot for him today
Furlong is a cracking player. Saw him three times and loved him each time. Far too good to be at 18s level.
Aaron O'Driscoll on the scoresheet for Southampton U23s tonight: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-v-southampton
Idah and Connolly make the bench for their clubs today. Connolly is accompanied there by Glenn Murray and Jahanbakhsh so it would be a real show of faith if he were introduced ahead of one or both of them.
Obafemi on the bench also for Southampton beside Shane Long. 3 teenage strikers on PL benches. Heady days.
Nunn stepped up to 23 level for Chelsea for first time I tink yesterday might be involved for us up front at 19s this season.
Another 2 goals for 20 year old Anthony Scully for West Ham in PL 2 division 2, that’s 7 goals in 6 games (only 4 of these were starts). Having not done much at this level for the past couple of years, are we seeing his potential finally coming to fruition? Worth monitoring, can engineer himself a nice loan move in January
Great shout on McEneff. I see he has 6 appearances for what must be a strong under 23 side at Arsenal. Only 18.
Interestingly, Arsenal 23s drew with Liverpool 2-2 yesterday. McEneff started. As did Nathan Tormey and he scored also.
Tormey only played for us at 16s and again seemed to lose 3 years to injury before showing up again a bit after Christmas last season. Not everyone who has playe 16s for us have turned out to be eligible(afew everton lads one season I remember) hopefully not the case with him. Pity he is overage for 19s this season especially with our 21s been stacked.
I have been delighted to see barrett keep up his momentum from the end of last season with 45 mins yesterday a scan full game in league cup midweek for reading . He was playing on loan in conference this time last season
Josh Barrett starting tonight for Reading the league against Fulham. They are down 3-0 at half time though.
Celtic getting beaten today, after only drawing last week, might be no harm from an Irish perspective. Might mean they change the team about more for league games before and after European games.
Sounds like things aren't going too great for O'Connor so far though, the lad they signed the same day from Man City seems to be ahead of him for the reserve right back slot, so he might end up getting moved around a lot of positions again, similar to at Man United. Looks like Afolabi is doing well with the reserves though.

Few reports saying that Kian Flanagan had a trial with Doncaster over the international break, with a view to taking him on loan in January
Joshua Kayode is on loan at Gateshead in the national league north at the moment, but he's allowed to play for Rotherham in the Football League Trophy. Think he's still with Ireland, at least I can't find any record of him playing for another country.
Idah and Obamidele start for Norwich U23s Vs West Brom (no irish playing). No irish playing either for Reading. McEneff not in Arsenal side.
Knight drops down to start for Derby U23s, not seeing a whole lot of volume for seniors so natural to complement it with some developmental game time.
Interestingly, no Parrott for spurs. I really think this is the perfect time to introduce him to prem league, at home vs the bottom club. Everyone at a low ebb, throw on a promising youngster to reignite the “feel good” factor around Spurs again. No Reghba for Leicester
