The Young Generation: Development squad season in moments
31 May 2018
It was another impressive season for the oldest age group in our Academy
set-up, guided for the first time by Joe Edwards, as they finished as
runners-up in the UEFA Youth League and were a penalty shootout away from
going to Wembley in the senior Checkatrade Trophy.

At the end of a long campaign, the official Chelsea website sat down with
Edwards to reflect on the key moments…
== Standout moment ==
'Definitely the Checkatrade Trophy,' said Edwards, reflecting on our run
to the semi-finals in the senior competition, which ended in heartbreak at
Lincoln. 'You go straight in at the deep end and going to Plymouth in our
second game of the season was a night of mixed emotions. We started really
well and went 2-0 up but all of sudden we got taught a quick lesson in how
much you can get punished at that level. It ended up 2-2 and we lost the
penalty shootout so we saw early on how difficult it could be.
'We actually didn't feel we'd done enough to qualify out of the group
after our first two games and in the back of my mind I was planning for
the second half of the season without this competition but we went to
Exeter, played well and got a fairly comfortable win in the end. It was a
really difficult day for everyone involved because it was the day we found
out about Dermot Drummy's passing so that added an extra touch to the
evening.
'It was a really mixed journey from the off but then we had a strong run
after that in the knockout stages and certainly Lincoln away in the
semi-finals would be my high point of the season. It was the perfect game
for what we need to get our players exposed to, which is why we enter the
competition – a really physically strong senior side that play a direct
and aggressive style of football, and to play it in front of a 10,000
crowd that were against us.

The Blues were beaten on penalties at Lincoln but it was a perfect game
for development
'It's normally heartbreaking to lose on penalties like that and of course
we were gutted to be a shootout away from a day out at Wembley but that
feeling quickly disappeared and you could see in the dressing room
afterwards that it was a proud moment for the lads. We came off the pitch
knowing we'd given everything and achieved so much more than any academy
side had done before.'
== Challenging moment ==
While the Blues enjoyed runs to the latter stages in both domestic and
continental cup competitions, the Premier League 2 campaign was a far
bumpier ride. Edwards's side opened the season with just one win in their
first nine league outings and the threat of relegation was a genuine
consideration.
'We had a long run from the middle of September right the way through to
November without winning games and that was tough, especially when you
think how many of our players stepped up from the Under-18s and are so
used to winning every week,' continued our development squad boss.
'Sometimes if you're playing poorly and losing games, although that's not
enjoyable, it can be easier to take and reflect upon because you know
exactly what you've got to do to correct things.
'However, we had a number of games in the first third of the season where
we played quite well but lost points late on in games or through costly
errors. When that happens regularly in a short space of time, it's
difficult to keep picking yourselves up and going again. That was a new
experience for a lot of us and certainly one that was mentally very tiring
and draining. I think it's a big credit to everyone how we turned it
around and went from a poor spell to a run of 16 wins in 21 games – if
you want to focus on learning and improving from those tough experiences,
that's a great example.'
== Team performance ==
'A big turning point for us was Manchester City at home in December, which
was early on in that run of winning games,' he continued. 'We didn't play
great in that game and were really being dominated by a team of high
quality, 2-0 down with 15 minutes left, but to come back and score three
goals so quickly to win the game was a big moment for us mentally and so
stands out for me.
'You have to reflect on different games for different reasons though and
MK Dons in the Checkatrade Trophy was an impressive performance because we
dominated a League One team away from home. We did have some first team
players involved like Michy Batshuayi and Kenedy but sometimes it can be
difficult for those older players to motivate themselves and it isn't
always a strength in terms of the team performance. Yet their
professionalism was first-class and that was a night where we really laid
down a marker that we were comfortable now in that competition.

Daishawn Redan chases the ball in Madrid, a performance that Edwards cites
as one of his favourite of the campaign
'The final performance that springs to my mind as one of my favourites of
the season was away at Real Madrid [in the UEFA Youth League]. We had the
setback of conceding a goal within five minutes, which isn't ideal away in
Madrid, but then we responded by scoring three goals in the space of half
an hour.
'However, a harsh red card made it really difficult for us and we couldn't
get near the ball with 10 men. We had to show incredible work-rate and
togetherness, and then to score again with the last kick of the game was
incredible. That was a big win at one of the biggest places you can go to
play football.'
== Goal of the season ==
'I've got two favourite goals of the season. First of all, you cannot
overlook Callum Hudson-Odoi's goal against Liverpool. We're here to
develop individuals and that was an outstanding individual goal,
especially for such a young player to score against a team who were top
of the league at that time.

Callum Hudson-Odoi's solo goal for the development squad yesterday...
'The second is one of Daishawn Redan's hat-trick goals away at Derby
County. He produced an amazing piece of skill to turn in the box that was
Zola-esque but the build-up from the team was great football and also
patterns that we'd been working on as a team. It was one of our best
performances of the season, with a lot of young players involved, and that
goal was the perfect combination of how we executed everything perfectly
that day.'
== Academy Player of the Year ==
'When you talk about individual recognition, you first have to consider
availability to the team and the amount of appearances a player has made
is usually a good indication,' explained Edwards. 'The Under-23s can
often be a strange phase because some of the key members of the group find
themselves missing a lot of games and that happened again this year with
people like Callum and Trevoh Chalobah.

Reece James picks up his Academy Player of the Year award
'However, Reece James was one of our highest appearance-makers and he
offered tremendous consistency throughout. During the first half of the
season, we were changing the team quite often and experimenting with our
striker position with a couple of players in on trial because our only
options were Under-18s.
'When you have quite an inexperienced attacking line, you need
contributions from all over the pitch and Reece was probably one of our
biggest attacking threats from right-back. Not only did he show he could
cope physically in his first season at this level but the quality and
consistency of his delivery into the box was of a really high standard
every week and that made a big difference for us.'
