U18南區聯賽第六輪 https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/09/ under-18s-report--aston-villa-1-chelsea-1.html Under-18s report: Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 1 Sat 24 Sep 2016 Our youth team led at the break but had to settle for a point on the road in the Under-18 Premier League this morning (Saturday). The youngsters took the lead just before half-time thanks to a fierce strike from Harvey St Clair but Jake Doyle-Hayes cancelled our advantage 16 minutes from time to ensure a share of the points. Jody Morris made four changes from last weekend's win over Arsenal, with Conor Gallagher, Tariq Uwakwe, Zech Medley and Jamie Cumming the returning quartet. Uwakwe lined up alongside Luke McCormick in midfield, with Gallagher, St Clair and Jacob Maddox supporting Martell Taylor-Crossdale in attack. Medley lined up alongside captain Josh Grant, Joseph Colley and Reece James in a back four protecting Cumming in goal. Villa striker Kelsey Mooney had the first opportunity of the morning, bringing a routine save from Cumming with a header that lacked the power or accuracy to trouble the goalkeeper. Chelsea's first sight at goal came on the 15-minute mark as Uwakwe's dipping free-kick flew narrowly over the bar before Maddox sliced wide when positioned well following a dangerous delivery from St Clair. Jordan Cox's strike deflected behind and then the hosts claimed for a penalty as the ball appeared to strike Colley on his outstretched hand. The referee waved away the appeals and the Blues almost went down the other end to score, though St Clair could not manage to make contact with Taylor-Crossdale's low cross after good work down the right from James. McCormick saw a shot blocked and Maddox's drive was deflected behind as the visitors upped the ante with the break approaching and they were rewarded with the opener four minutes before the interval. James swept a brilliant pass from right-back to St Clair on the left wing and the Scotland youth international did the rest with a thundering shot that flew past Viktor Johansson, the home goalkeeper. It was the wideman's fifth goal in five youth team appearances so far this term. The hosts regrouped at the break and returned to the field intent on searching for a quick equaliser. Mooney tested Cumming as they enjoyed more control of the game and they had the ball in the back of the net after an hour. Mooney was the man wheeling away in celebration after beating Cumming but his joy was shortlived as the linesman's raised flag ruled offside. Doyle-Hayes spurned a big chance as he sliced wide from the edge of the box but the Irishman's regret did not last long as he levelled for the home side with a heavily-deflected free-kick after 74 minutes. Morris introduced attacking options in the form of Juan Castillo and Charlie Brown but it was Villa with chances to steal all three points late on as a substitute of their own, Jozef Pastorek, threatened. A quick break following a wasteful Blues corner saw the Slovakian fire wide before he blazed off-target in time added on. The youngsters return to action in the Under-18 Premier League with a home game against West Ham next weekend, live on Chelsea TV. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/09/ under-18s-reaction--contrasting-halves.html Under-18s reaction: Contrasting halves Mon 26 Sep 2016 Our youth team remained in fourth place in the Under-18 Premier League southern section table following a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa on Saturday. The Blues led through Harvey St Clair's strike moments before the break but were pegged back in the second half and had to settle for a share of the points in the Midlands. After the game, manager Jody Morris reflected on a varied performance. 'The old cliche of it being a game of two halves springs to mind,' he told the official Chelsea website. 'We started well, controlled the game and moved the ball quickly. I thought we followed the game plan quite well and switched the ball quickly like we asked. We had the wind behind us in the first half which aided some of the longer passes we were playing and that's how we got the goal. 'Reece James played a fantastic diagonal pass out to Harvey and then he scored a great individual goal. We needed that because even though some of our build-up play was good, when we got to the final third we weren't too much of a threat to their goal. We needed that bit of magic from Harvey and he's capable of giving us that.' It was a different story in the second half as Morris felt the changing of ends hindered his side. However, he cited a need for an extra fighting edge to be found from his players to grind out results in difficult circumstances. 'Playing against the wind after half-time almost stifled us a little bit and we struggled to play some of those longer passes that we did in the first half,' the manager continued. 'The quality wasn't good enough and our choice of pass was either the wrong one or didn't have the power or accuracy. 'We were up against a team that wants to go and win headers and second balls and I felt they dominated the second half by doing that ugly side of the game well. We're in September when the pitches are still alright but when the winter comes round we have to be able to mix with teams a little better than we have. 'It's disappointing that we've had another away game where we've been in front and in control but then something happened to change the rhythm of the game. It just shows us there are plenty of things we need to do better and work on.' Our youth team return to action in the Under-18 Premier League this Saturday 1 October when they host West Ham at Cobham. The Hammers are second in the table and the game, which kicks off at 11.05am, will be screened live on Chelsea TV.
