Greg Cunningham was called up to the senior side for the two friendlies next week, personally I would have let him play with the U19's
It's a strong looking midfield, with Henderson, Clifford, Brady and Hourihane but defence and up front looks weak. West Ham's Daniel Kearns is included, isn't his eligibility part of the Northern Ireland case with CAS?

u must have been stuck down a caveOriginally Posted by Crosby87
he just captained chelsea to their first fa youth cup victory in donkeys years, scoring the winning goal in the process.
on the back of that success he received a lot of newspaper and radio coverage in the irish sports media the last month
on the other hand, robbie brady doesnt seem to have made much progress at united this season for someone who was rated so highly going over
Mostly because he had a bad injury this season...
+1
Dude you must have been living on a desert island
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
At the Galway Utd UCD game last night, I thought I heard the announcer say that Karl Sheppard had been called up for this squad. Was I hearing things?
Criticism is prejudice made plausible
Sorry, dont get much Chelsea youth news, guess i could make more of an effort. Thats what I come on here for. But I am happy to hear that.

Yes Karl Shephard has gone from the U23S to the U19S in Ukraine!

Sheppard has come on as a half time sub.
1-0's not a 'bad' result, but obviously there was a chance to set ourselves up for qualification. Nice to see that we can hold our own against our most illustrious neighbors.
Ukraine on Friday on Bosnia & Herzegovina Sunday. They play later this evening. A draw would suit.
English reserve keeper Liam O'Brien must be one of ours!
'And Crouch must score'
Ukraine won 4-1, we'll do well to be them, current champions, at home.
England won 4-0 today meaning Ireland have to win their remaining two games.
Two changes to the line up today, Karl Sheppard and James Keohane in for Ronan Murray and Harry Crawford.
1 Gerard Hanley (GK)
2 Richard Towell
3 John Dunleavy
4 Sean McGinty
5 Shane McEleney
6 Conor Hourihane
8 Conor Clifford (C
10 Conor Henderson
11 Robert Brady
17 James Keohane
18 Karl Sheppard
Looks like 4-5-1 to me but maybe they've pushed Brady forward.
game VS The Ukraine just kicked off

1-0 up thanks to a Clifford penalty after 60 mins.
Robert Brady has been sent off though just after half time.
Backs against the wall stuff now. Our underage sides have been in this situation countless times before,
lets hope they hold on........
