I don't think we have a thread on NSC dedicated to Shannon Ruth, the head coach of the U-21s, which seems remiss given the fine job he appears to be doing. There was fulsome praise from none other than Mr Roberto De Zerbi a few days ago:- Today the Athletic has an article about him which is...

Congratulations to Freddie Simmonds, Tyler Silsby and Harry Howell who have been named in the England U-16 squad for the Football Federations Cup Tournament in Albir in Spain from February 17 - 26.

Albion U-21s take on our friends from the north on Friday in Premier League 2 action. The Seagulls currently sit 5th in the table with 20 points from 11 matches. The Eagles sit 15th with 13 points from 11 matches. Palace won their first match of the season in this competition and then proceeded...

Albion U21s face the Swans tonight in a must-win Premier League Cup group fixture. The top two qualify from each of the eight groups for the knockout stage. Current standings in Group A (Albion's group):- Albion must beat Swansea tonight, beat Hull on Monday February 5 and hope Villa beat...

Albion U-18s host Leeds United at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre tomorrow (Saturday) in the 4th round of the FA Youth Cup (the most prestigious of the competitions for the U-18s). Albion won 4-1 at Harrogate Town at the end of November in the third round while the Whites...

Albion's Tyler Silsby has received a call-up to the England U-16s squad. They face the Republic of Ireland at St George's Park this afternoon and the Netherlands at the same venue on Sunday.

Albion U21s are back in action tomorrow (Tuesday) when they face everybody's favourite franchise club MK Dons in the round of 32 in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy (the EFL Trophy, previously known as the Papa John's Trophy). This is only the third occasion that the Albion U-21s have reached...

...including their captain, Lewis Dunk, two other starters in 18-year-old Jack Hinshelwood and Evan Ferguson (who is only recently into his 19th year), and five substitutes (goalkeeper Tom McGill, centre-backs Ben Jackson and Leigh Kavanagh, midfielder Samy Chouchane and forward Joshua Duffus).

I think Dunk was actually shown a straight red for dissent wasn't he, rather than a second yellow? What are the implications for his suspension for that? Unforgivable in the best of times, let alone in our current circumstances.

Congratulations to Albion academy U-15 goalkeeper Liam Doyle who has been called up to an England U-15 training camp. Liam only joined Albion towards the end of last season at U-14 level after an unsuccessful trial at Chelsea. He attends Bede's School in Upper Dicker.

And so we come to the final international break of the year. An opportunity for fans to take a breather, players to work on the training ground and Roberto De Zerbi to stick some pins into voodoo dolls of English referees. Albion have 18 (I believe) players on international duty over the next...

Four times today my chrome browser has locked up when I have opened up a new tab (or tabs) in NSC. Whilst I have other tabs open, I'm pretty sure it has been NSC causing the issue. In each case I have had to use "End Task" to shut down chrome and re-start. Has anyone else experienced this...

Another international break rolls around and Albion have had, I believe, 19* players (at full and underage levels) called up for duty. *This is including the on-loan Ansu Fati, so 18 if you don't count loanees as Albion players. The full list of the 19 is as follows (senior level unless...

Shoreham host the Albion U-21 side at The Edgar & Wood Stadium (Middle Road) in the second round of the Sussex Transport Senior Cup on Tuesday October 10th with a 7:30pm kick-off. I've seen a few comments on here this season that people might have attended an U-21 away fixture if they had known...

Is it today? Tomorrow?

Albion U21s continue their Premier League 2 campaign with a fixture at the Impact Arena, Alfreton against the Rams. I suspect the chances of a stream for this one are approximately 0%, unfortunately.

A link, for those interested. A few notes: 1) Albion name a squad of 20 (plus, of course, the 62 U-21s) 2) Carl Rushworth is named 3) Joao Pedro qualifies as a HGP

Albion have had 22 players (across all age groups) called up for international duty during this September international break, if my investigations are accurate. One of these, Imari Samuels, was a late addition to the England U-20 squad for a training camp that won't feature a match against any...

Albion had to submit their squad lists to UEFA by last night, I believe. They submit two lists: List A is similar to the PL 25-man squad list and List B is similar to the PL U-21 listing. West Ham have already announced their List A on their website. Will Albion announce their lists?

I have posted a bunch of info over the last few weeks on the new intake of first year scholars for this season, but it is hidden away in the 2023-24 pre-season friendly thread. It would therefore make more sense to consolidate that data in its own specific thread. To the best of my knowledge...
