Was going to ask about Jason Davis as I don't think the club released any information about him signing a contract extension, he's still listed on the DS section though on the Wikipedia page. Is Connor Pring still with the club?

If you are interested in the academy players, I could recommend a decent twitter account that will keep you up-to-date.....

Going back to that OP, didn't CH say that March would be featuring tonight? Not according to how I read the selected 16.

I'd suggest a relapse, but the optimist in me says there might be a pleasant surprise tomorrow night.

Who is Skapetis?

He's an Australian trialist described as a 21-year-old quick, strong forward who served a scholarship at QPR and then moved on to Stoke City in the summer of 2014 for a reported fee of ₤300,000. Unfortunately he suffered two cruciate ligament injuries (one to each knee) and was released at the end of last season.

Not everyone follows the development squad in the detail I do you see, so it's understandable you'd never heard of him.

On Friday in the Argus it was reported that March has been pencilled in for the U-23 Premier League Cup match against Nottm Forest at the training ground next Saturday at 2pm.

More guilt: I've just been found out for not reading articles carefully enough :blush:

No problem AZG, if you need any info in other players just ask (after posting about them ideally)

Thanks for clearing that up.
I was wondering who this mystery man was I just didn't know who to ask.

Any idea when March is next due to play?

It's no problem, I like to make sure that this sort of info is available to the wider fanbase. It's normally a thankless underappreciated task but I soldier on.

We'd be lost without you.
It's a shame there aren't more fans as committed as yourself :bowdown:

Don Tmatter · Sep 26, 2016

Harper is brought on a minute into injury time, would that suggest some truth in the rumours about him leaving in January?

When googling him the write ups about him in the Stoke press when he signed from QPR is quite interesting and a promising prospect to look at.

It's not looking particularly good for him, is it?

Hi guys, I was walking up the road and heard a rumor that Peter Skapetis is on the bench for the U23s. Anyone know if that's true?

Really? Didn't he suffer from a nasty knee injury?

Thank you both. If I can inspire just one other person to pick up the development team torch then I'll be happy.

AZG, you seem to be keen so how about I let you take it from here? Don't worry too much, I'll be around to help out if needed on anything too tricky.

He should do a Twitter account about the dev squad, that would be helpful.

It's an onerous task, but if you feel I'm ready I'll accept the challenge.

Sadly social networking isn't my strength, I'm sure someone will have the presence of mind to do in my stead, ideally starting in the past, instead.

You really are, consider the torch passed. Do me proud!
