Luca Bentt on the subs bench for the BMG game today
Given his contract tweet was given the hashtag #BrentfordB, I think it's safe to say you've posted in the wrong forum!

Great fun in the sun ✅

Lawal & Golding (1st half only) did well & showed good discipline.

Otis Honor was very good, very cultured and runs things.

Boni looked to mt eyes to be a level above.

Giscombe really impacted the game.

Star of the show was the right back Zetter-Plummer who was fantastic albeit a little raw. Quick, skillful and beats his man with ease. He's a good watch.

Unreported by the club, even on its "secret" academy Twitter feed, was then-first year scholar Archie Trimboli was capped by Australia U17 back in February.

Anyone on here attend games? I am thinking of going to Staines tomorrow morning. I assume the game is open to the Public?

The U21’s game on Sunday is free to attend, so I would expect the same for the U18’s game tomorrow.

U18’s due to play Sheffield Wednesday. Are they affected by the current situation at the club ?‍♂️

When was the last time a kid from under 18’s made the first team? Ryan Peters??

I remember Manny Oyeleke lasted 45 minutes under Rosler
Jake Reeves and Luke Norris also made appearances during the 2011-12 season (ie. same as Oyeleke). Since then, I don't think an U18 has received even so much as a first team squad number.

Didn’t Jaako Oksanen play at 17 in a game? He was b-team though

I believe Ellery Balcombe was in the academy before it was disbanded and was an original member of the B team squad.

So potentially a waste of time bothering with an under 18's team

I think its more than that and the club have ambitions to get to Cat 1 status academy.
It'll take some time for it to bear fruit. The first true intake (2023-24) has produced 4-5 B teamers (only one of whom is a regular - Ollie Shield). The rest went into non-league, US college or free agency. The 2024-25 intake has seen Luka Bentt and Michel Boni go on and look like they'll have professional careers. But yeah, long gone are the days of 10 professional contracts being handed out to the second year scholars and the end of the season.

They need to have an u18 team but in reality that u18 who comes through the ranks is probably either a teenager at Chelsea or a 10 year old at Brentford.
