The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Not surprised about Kuhl, he's gone backwards over the last couple of years and doesn't play with the same joy any more. Something's gone badly wrong there.

The whole Kuhl thing is just mystifying. A player isn't banned from playing for no reason, surely? Must have been awkward with his Dad there and everything.

Just don't get what has gone on with Aaron. Wonder if the full story will come out at some point, be good to hear the club's side of things.

Looked really promising a couple of years ago but once Adkins got the chop first Clarke, then McDermott and now Stam just haven't given him any real chance of the first team squad so perhaps he let his levels drop back.

Good luck to him though, he is still very young and hope he can get back into the league somewhere quickly.

Odd that, given that I have seen him play for the U23 side this season ! Can't recall the game. Was it the Hertha Berlin match ?

[NewCorkSeth]

A quick question. Alfie Mawson. He looks good! does anyone remember him when he was our Academy product? Why did we let him go etc..

His family are from London, had the opportunity to go to Brentford which is close to home.

Cheers. Just never heard of him before this season and looked him up after watching some highlights. Surprised to see he came from us.

Nothing too untoward going on with Kuhn, just besieged by a series of injuries.

[Hound]

Stacey with a stunner to send Exeter through to the final...

Crazy tie that was

[LightwaterRoyal]

Was about to post. Was an absolute banger. Last minute of stoppage time too.

Stuart Moore not looking great for Luton unfortunately.

I know he's not our player anymore but Lawson D'ath has been pretty non existent for Luton

[Hound]

Stuart Moore not looking great for Luton unfortunately.

Wow you called that!

Two incredible ties - amazing finishes. The play offs are great

[LightwaterRoyal]

Got a £10 treble on Reading, Bradford and Exeter to go up. My mates all scoffed but not looking too bad now.

Back on topic.

Moore's positioning wasn't very good. Came out for balls he should have stayed back for and stayed back when he should have come. Every save seemed to be palmed back into danger

[Saaaaaaaammmmmm]

Let's not forget Moore isn't our player anymore either as he was also released this week

[CountryRoyal]

Some might say he's not with us any moore

[Stranded]

Harsh to judge on one performance, but you can see why. Looked very nervous after his error lead to the tie-equaliser. Hard to blame him for the winner as he knew nothing about it but his positioning from the corner wasn't too great.

Anyway, we wish him well for the future.

Club has announce following U23 players will be released:

Harrison Bennett, Aaron Kuhl, Stuart Moore, Joe Tupper, Terence Vancooten, Sean Long, Craig Tanner, Jack Denton, Dominic Hyam and Harry Cardwell.

#ruthless. Carell and Kuhl both were supposed to be good prospects

Not sure it's ruthless. Both were good prospects 2or 3 years ago but sadly had not progressed as expected. Compare the trajectory of Kuhl's career and that of Liam Kelly.
Interested that Jack Stacey is not mentioned, presumably his contract has another year to run ?
Will also be interested in whether Jake Cooper is retained or allowed to move on.

Jake was very much in Japp's plans however a not so good misdemeanour put an end to that and which is why he was shipped out on loan. Its been well disguised by the club.

It will depend on whether he has been forgiven and he is willing to put things right with himself and the players around him.

We all want to know what he did now....
