I apologise, I did mean Archie rather than Werthers.Youve got the wrong guy Steve, archie is defending "the player" (himself) not Worthers.
seconded - congrats EddieEddie Brearey earns LFE Recognition
Oxford United goalkeeper Eddie Brearey has capped a remarkable first year as a scholar by being named among βThe 11β by the League Football Education (LFE).www.oufc.co.uk
Congratulations. He has obviously had a good season with already training with the 1st team, involvement with the England set up and now this.
Fantastic. Well done Eddie (and the club)Eddie Brearey earns LFE Recognition

It seemed that was being considered, but not now as Eastwood has signed a new contractUnderstudy to Stevens soon?
He's a second year scholar next season, but will probably play for the U23s rather than the YT, then go on the bench for Pizza games....
Sure he'll be working with Wayne Brown and Eastwood to develop in the mean time...
Very interested to hear about what is going to happen with these guys....Was wondering if it would be interesting to have a thread specifically about players in the academy and how they're progressing. Is there anymore Shandon Baptiste's or Callum O'Dowda's waiting to come through?
Does anyone have any thoughts on these players and which ones have the most potential?
Goalkeeper - Kie Plumley. I have no information on this player, hopefully he's decent. Stevens has done brilliantly to step up from the youth set-up into the first team. Future back-up instead of Easty?
Defenders
Nico Jones - Had a few league games for us years ago, haven't heard much since
Michael Elechi - Previously at Manchester United. No more information.
Yoav Sade - Young Israeli right-back
Midfielders -
Fabio Sole - 19-year-old midfielder. Had some loan spells in non-league.
Leon Chambers-Parillion - Previously of Villa and Luton.
Forwards
Kyran Lofthouse - no information
Jack Stevens - The wikipedia page for our goalkeeper and this player are confused. The forward is currently on loan at Chippenham, not the keeper!
Slavi Spasov - On loan at Woking. Rumours of getting into the Bulgarian youth-set-up. 3 league goals for Woking and praised for his work rate.
Tyler Goodrham - played some cup games for the Yellows despite only being aged 17.
I thought Jones' contract was until June 21 but if it is June 22 then he has another year which gives him a chanceVery interested to hear about what is going to happen with these guys....
The story so far:
Plumley - scholarship extended to Jan22 (as joined in Jan20) - quite well thought of it seems but main worry is Eddie Brearey coming up behind him
Brearey - will be a second year scholar this season, but highly thought of, so may well play in a lot of the U23 games (ahead of Plumley)
Jones - has a contract to Summer 22.
Elechi - had pro contract up to Jun21.....................**
Sade - ?**
Lofthouse - (great loan spell at Woking) - had pro contract up to Jun21...................**
Sole - was 3rd year scholar last season, so it is pro deal or off for him .................**
Chamber-Parillion - also 3rd year scholar last season, so again pro deal or off too....... (also worryingly disappeared completely after being on fringes of senior squad few months back) ................................**
Fabio Lopes - had pro contract up to Jun21...................**
Jack Stevens II - had scholarship extended to Jan21, but not seen any contract news since then, but I think was still around end of season, so something must have been sorted, but whether that extends beyond summer??.................**
Spasov - had pro contract up to Jun21...................**
Goodrham - given a pro deal to Summer22
BTW - other 2nd year scholars to look out for:
Clinton Nosakhare (CB), Mac Masters (DM), Elijah Coe (CM), Will Owens (W), Adam Smith (ST), James Golding (CB), Josh Anifowose (CM), Ben Watt (FB)

You say Lofthouse had a great loan at Woking. He seems to have played at right back, right midfield, centre midfield in his time their. I have seen bits mentioned about him but do you know more?
For him to have had positive comments is very encouraging as he has been playing in a woeful side that must have been really tough not to have got downhearted . So could be the reserve right full back then .The Woking fans' comments I've seen suggest he has been best at right back and like him but aren't sure he is ready to play above NL yet. It hasn't helped him that Woking have been a mess for a bit due to lots of injuries and the odd furlough (as requested by the player due to their other job). Although, if he is never given a chance then we'll not know if he is good enough to play in L1 for us.
That is a spectacular Sheepskin coat - did John Motson give out the awards?
