Lfhearts Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Flatman warmed up not sure what happened, worst performance I have seen from a Hearts team at that age against Hibs and I have seen a few, hopefully a one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly big, but then I haven't seen any academy games for over a year. I'll probably find it difficult to recognise some of the lads as they will have grown, changed facially or hairstyles etc. It looks like he got on for the last 5 mins going by the AFC match report. https://www.afc.co.uk/report_nostats/cas-18s-young-dons-lose-league-opener/ I know Stuart McLuckie from Livingston.

martoon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 FTH. The name Sean Docherty rang a bell. Checked LH and we did have a youngster on our books with that name in the late 80's. He scored in a 1-5 EoSS win at ER in 1988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's impossible to predict, but any you think might break through next season? You are correct "it's impossible to predict". I haven't seen them play for over a year so it would be unfair to say that any player is likely/unlikely to break through, although Leo Watson is probably closest at the moment. What happens to the squad will likely depend on there being a reserve league next season. If not, then those who will be too old for U18 football (2003 age group) will have to go out on loan, or risk being released if there is little prospect of them making the grade. The 2003s are Spratt, Denholm, Docherty, Watson, Schiavone, Darge and King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad runs a football academy for 1 to 1 coaching for elite U10/U11/U12 players from many SPFL clubs including Hearts and Hibs.

I didn't see the game against Hibs, so can't comment. I looks like it will be next season before I get the chance to do so, by which time a year's worth of players will no longer be eligible or have moved on. Hopefully I'll be able to watch the younger age groups again from June, or thereabouts, as they play a summer season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit pish, you’re right about the u19 tournament though.
