Young Ajax in the Jupiler League

[SPL]

Oh dear we are 3-0 down after 14 mins. This is their 3rd game in a week and older players can cope but this is a bunch of teenagers and all these games against tough experienced pros seems to have caught up with them tonight.

Hope its not another 6-0 like Sparta

[SPL]

Ended up a 3-1 defeat so damage limitation. Vissie scored near the end for us. He, Noordhoff and Honer were all subs coming on approx 15 mins from the end for Hendriks,Menig and Sporkslede.

Next game 9th March v Almere so they get a break for 10 days.

Sigthorsson was due to play but is still not 100 % .

Thats 9 teenagers in the starting lineup with Hendriks and Bakker the joint eldest at 20, both born on 25 th January.

I see Rodney Sneijder is only sub for them.

[SPL]

We lead 2-0 at Ht Muric and Warmerdam the goals.

[SPL]

A good 3-1 win tonight . Hendriks with a pen was our 3rd goal. Subs used were Acolatse for Muric ,vd Beek for Bakker, and Sporkslede for Riedewald.

Friday they play VVV in Venlo

[Orange14]

Was this van der Beek's first match with Jong Ajax?

Just about to play Almere at de Toekomst ,no TV
I see Rodney Sneijder is only sub for them.

I remember when he signed his first senior contract; I think it was right after Wesley transferred and Rodney said that one day he would follow his older brother to Madrid! I guess he got that one way wrong.

[SPL]

Playing VVV tonight ,Ko 20.00 CET and again no Tv

Hope Nouri and Cerny come on. There is no A1 youth this weekend and with yet another Jong game on Monday
I would imagine they will get some playing time.

[SPL]

Sadly lost 1-0, 68min goal by them .Our goalie went rushing out to the wing to challenge their attacker and the ball got crossed and a clear shot for goal with our goalie nowhere .Just a terrible goalie mistake.

Should add although noTV, livetv showed a stream with no commentary,think it comes from Unibet, and I watched the whole of the 2nd half.

Tete and V Bruggen in CD looked ok and Sporkslede at DM played well. Up front a couple of shots by Muric and Acolatse had a decent chance soon after the goal.

78th min and the great moment Nouri and Cerny(for Bakker and Muric) made their pro debuts. Neither did much and v d Beek ,who played all game did nothing special . They did not look out of place at this level though,even though they are all still only 17. They will get more playing time for Jong this season and will certainly improve. ( Sanniez came on for Owusu for the final 6 mins.)

We did enough in the 2nd half to deserve a point but one mistake was all it takes at this level.

[SPL]

About to play Fortuna Sittard but no Tv

I quess the good news is that Sigthorsson is returning to action and has permission to play this one game

[SPL]

Well a nice 3-0 win with 2nd half goals by V Bruggen ,Sporkslede and Menig.

Savastano the youth LB made his debut after HT for Sanniez. Siggy lasted just over an hour ,Hendriks replacing him, and v d Beek played the last half an hour for the injured Sporkslede. Cerny sadly did not see any action.

A good win especially as this is mostly a bunch of teenagers and they only played Friday night.Unlike Friday night there were no streams whatsoever available.

[SPL]

about to play de Graafschap but no Tv again and probabaly no unofficial streams .good news Fischer starts

subs Mous,Noordhoff,Acolaste,Vissie,Hendriks

Muric is already back in Croatia on U19 duty and Sanniez has an injury.

Hope Fischer gets through this ok.Think he will play max 45 mins.

[SPL]

We lost 3-0 ,only good point Fischer played 45 mins ,Acolatse coming on for him for the 2nd half.Other sub Hendriks for Zivkovic on 80 mins.

They get a 2 week break now.

[SPL]

about to play Eindhoven in the Arena and no Tv

subs Mous,v d Beek,Sanniez,Vissie,Honer,Acolatse.

Good to see Fischer starting. Tete was due to play but is on standby for the first team. I quess Dankerlui is playing instead of Sanniez to give him another chance to earn a contract,he finishes with the youth next month.

Sporkslede,Noordhoff and sub Honer all finish contracts at the end of June and I cannot see them getting extensions.

v d Beek having played 3 U19 games this week is being rested .Mind there is another game on Tuesday v PSV Jong.

[SPL]

Sadly we lost 2-1 they scored the winner in 86th min ,yet again we lose points in the last 10 mins .However Fischer played 90 mins and scored the goal.

In the last 20 mins Acolatse for Hendriks,Sanniez for Dankerlui,who was injured and v d Beek for Noordhoff were subs.

Eindhoven are 2nd and NEC have just won the title .

[SPL]

We lost 2-0 to Jong PSV tonight.Ironically it was on tv but started about 17.00 hours so I missed it(they normally start at 19.00)

Onana

Owusu, Tete,V Bruggen,Dankerlui

Sporkslede,Bakker(Warmerdam 74), Muric

Menig,Zivkovic, Fischer(Acolatse 78)

Evidently it was poor game . Only 5 games left, trouble is they want the A1 youths to win their league so the likes of v d Beek,Nouri Cerny wont get much playing time for Jong .

[SPL]

About to play Emmen and it on tv so should be astream

Boer

Sanniez,Tete,V Bruggen,Warmerdam

Zimling,Sporkslede,Bakker

Menig,Zivkovic,Fischer

subs Mous,Noordhoff,Vissie,Hendriks,Acolatse

Not sure why Zimling is playing.He wont play again for the first, is leaving so why waste time playing for Jong Ajax.

Our A1 youths are top of the league and if they are champs will qualify for a European U19 league next season
so none of them will feature in many more Jong games. In addition about 5 Jong players are long term injury

[SPL]

1-0 down after 3mins .cannot find a stream ,livetv shows no streams and not sure of any other sites to look up.

[SPL]

we lost 2-0 ,couldn't find a stream ,just followed it on Ajaxshowtime.Clearly we were very poor.Zimling,described as unmotivated ,lasted 70 mins ,Vissie replacing him .Zivkovic ,described as poor,subs 75 by Acolatse.At least Fischer played 90 mins and hopefully he can be sub on Sunday v NAC.

The posters on Showtime were watching the game and nearly every comment was negative.One thing they overlooked Emmen are now joint 4th in the league so they are one of the best teams in the league.

Jong Twente next, followed by Helmond ,both way below us ,should be easier but we finish with NEC who will thrash us and Oss who are 6th.

Jong Ajax,like our first need the season to finish now.

[SPL]

Currently playing Jong Twente and its 0-0 at HT. No tv .

Acolatse, Zivkovic,Menig

subs Mous,Vissie, Dankerlui,Sanniez,Hendriks

NB. Muric played for the A1 youth last Saturday hence he is not playing tonight

[SPL]

Another defeat 1-0 ,subs used Sanniez for Sporkslede,and Vissie for Zivkovic.Evidently Zivkovic did not shake hands with Vissie or Jaap Stam when taken off.This kid has some attitude problems and although talented he should clearly have had another year at Groningen.Wouldn't be surprised if he went out on loan next season as we are looking for an experienced striker to replace the Iceland carthorse.

Meanwhile our Jong team, with 3 games to play, need the season to end.

[SPL]

Just ko at home to Helmond Sports

Onana

Sanniez,Sporkslede,V Bruggen,Owusu

Noordhoff,Bakker,Warmerdam

Acolatse,Hendriks,Menig

subs Mous,Vissie,Dankerlui,Mirani,Nouri,v d Beek

So no Tete and Zivkovic so both should be in the first team on Sunday.

[Orange14]

Maybe this is the first time Nouri has been on the game day sheet for Jong Ajax?

[SPL]

2-0 down at HT .Onana gave away the first.

Nouri played the last 15 mins v VVV a few weeks ago. It was on TV and he looked class .The A1 play tomorrow and need him and v d Beek but they may still get afew minutes in this game.

NB Mirani starts the 2nd half in place of Sporkslede. Seems a good idea as Sporkslede is not going to be kept on as his contracts runs out in June.

We now have a back 4 of young kids who probably should all still be playing in the A1.

[SPL]

63 mins and both Nouri and v d Beek come on for Sanniez and Menig.So thats 6 kids from the A1 youths playing
and of the other 5 players 3x19year olds and 2 x20 year olds. They say its good for their experience but how is being beaten every week a good experience.

[SPL]

Finished 2-0 to Helmond so thats 6 defeats in a row and almost certainly it will be 8 as we have NEC and Oss left.

Following comments on Showtime we looked alot better team with vd Beek and Nouri on .
