* Stats include UEFA Youth League, Premier League 2 and Checkatrade Trophy
After a 36-game season that stretched from Swindon and Yeovil to Sweden
and Switzerland, development squad manager Joe Edwards sat down with the
official Chelsea website to reflect on the key moments following a
mid-table finish in Premier League 2, another exciting run to the knockout
stages in the senior Checkatrade Trophy and a European campaign that went
all the way to the final once again.

Edwards took charge of the oldest Academy age group for the second season
and recorded another strong term with one of the youngest sides in the
league. Seven of our eight highest appearance-makers in 2017/18 departed
in the summer, two of them straight on loan into the Championship, so the
Blues had to grow up quickly against opponents older and wiser.
Here, Edwards picks his highlights of the 2018/19 campaign…
== Standout moment ==
'It has to be the Barcelona game, for so many reasons,' says the
32-year-old, reflecting on our progress in the Under-19 UEFA Youth League
competition. 'They are renowned for being one of the top academies in the
world, they always have top teams and outstanding young players so any
time you face them in a semi-final is going to be a big moment. It was a
defining moment for us last season and unfortunately in a negative way so
there was a lot on it for us.
'When the game started, Barcelona were moving the ball at an incredible
tempo and that could have easily scared a few of our players but we took
our time to get into the game. The second half was one of our best
performances of the season and to do it at an important time, against such
a strong opponent on such a big stage, was definitely a highlight of our
season.'

Victory over Barcelona on penalties in the UYL semi-finals was a standout
moment of the season for Edwards
Edwards also looks back fondly on our run to the last-16 in the
Checkatrade Trophy, a journey that took in victories over the senior sides
of Swindon Town, Plymouth Argyle and AFC Wimbledon.
'The Checkatrade Trophy has almost become the new benchmark in academy
football and we had some great moments in the competition again this
season,' he continues. 'If you look at this year's group, a lot of them
were playing Under-18s football a year ago so they had a massive jump from
the latter stages of the FA Youth Cup in April to playing against League
One teams in August and September.
'Beating Swindon 4-0 and Plymouth 5-0 in the group stage was fantastic but
the standout moment in this competition was the AFC Wimbledon game at
Stamford Bridge. It got a bit tasty once they saw we were the better team
and a few nasty tackles went flying in so then you have to look for the
other side of the game – can you look after yourself, compete and stick
together, as well as show your quality with the ball. That was a night
where we did a bit of everything and I was really proud of the players for
that.'
== Challenging moment ==
While the young Blues enjoyed cup progress, the league campaign was a far
rockier experience and it took until December for them to pick up their
first home victory in PL2. That proved one of just two wins at Aldershot
all season and Edwards admits the struggle to find home comforts put a
particular strain on the group.

Home form was inconsistent throughout the season but Stamford Bridge did
host one special night in the Checkatrade Trophy for our youngsters
'A massive theme for us this season has been the contrast in form and
results at home compared to away,' he explains. 'Our home form was hard to
comprehend and it was really difficult at times because it lasted the
whole season. We addressed it several times, tried to come up with
different strategies around how we prepared before the game, the
environment around the team on the night, even how we set up on the pitch.
We did get a couple of big results at Aldershot against West Ham and Man
City but overall our form was poor and it's a strange one that even now I
can't put my finger on.
'It was disappointing because when you alternate between playing at home
and away in Premier League 2, that really stopped us getting any
consistency or momentum together. Our finishing position and points total
were better than last season but those games at home ultimately cost us a
place near the top of the league.'
== Team performance ==
'Two performances that stand out for me both came on the road. Blackburn
in our first away game of the season was a real strong performance – we
had the likes of Callum [Hudson-Odoi] and Ethan [Ampadu] with us that
night but we still looked very much like a team. The intensity and
football we played was excellent, the mentality of the group was spot on
and the result was emphatic [3-0].

Luke McCormick scored at Blackburn, a performance Edwards feels was one of
the season's best
'Liverpool away towards the end of the season is the other standout, even
though we lost the game, because the football in the first half was some
of the best we've played all season.'
== Goal of the season ==
'There were a couple of individual strikes from Conor Gallagher, away at
Arsenal and at home against Monaco, but the Liverpool goal is my favourite
because it showed exactly what we want the game to look like. There were
20-odd passes in the build-up against a strong Liverpool team that were
pressing us a lot. We took them all over the pitch, then had the skill in
the box from Tariq Lamptey and the finish from Conor.'
== Academy Player of the Year ==
Midfielder Gallagher also picked up the Academy Player of the Year award
at the club's recent awards night and Edwards explains why he and his
staff opted for the 19-year-old above his peers, citing the teenager's
ability to overcome adversity as a key factor.
'Conor did pretty much all his work last season with the Under-18s so this
was his first season with the development squad and it couldn't have
started any worse for him actually,' reveals the boss. 'He was away with
England in the summer and they came across a heart condition that required
minor surgery to correct. It goes without saying that such an issue is not
common and would be a massive thing for a young player to try to come to
terms with.
'It cost Conor his whole pre-season but he bounced back in the way you'd
expect because his mentality is solid and he's just a fighter. It's that
desire and energy that have been so important for us because we've had to
fight a lot this season, particularly in the UEFA Youth League knockout
stages, and he's been our catalyst. He's a good player technically but
that heart and physical capability to keep pushing himself have set him
apart.
'Luke McCormick would have pushed him really close if he'd not been robbed
of so many minutes through frustrating injuries because he gave so much to
us as a leader and a goalscoring midfielder, but Conor was the standout
performer. People talk about talent a lot and how sometimes that isn't
enough when you're trying to step into the men's game, but being effective
is important and that's definitely a word I'd use to describe Conor for us
this season.'
== Academy graduates making moments ==
While there were no trophies at the end of the Chelsea Academy season,
Edwards is more than aware that the biggest indicator of our youth
development programme's success lies in individual progress into the
senior game. It is why he and his colleagues take so much pride when the
likes of Andreas Christensen, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi
take centre stage, as well as in the achievements of on-loan graduates
such as Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham.

The emergence of Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi as regulars for Maurizio
Sarri has been a source of pride for Academy staff and players this season
'To see three players involved so often in the Premier League and Europa
League is a real motivator for us as staff, but particularly for the
players because it shows there's a way there if you're good enough and you
put the work in,' concludes Edwards.
'We've also reflected on last season's group and how well they've done
this season – Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah playing a whole season in
the Championship, and Callum kicking on both at Chelsea and with England.
That's a great measure of the work we did last year with those boys and
it's a great source of motivation for this group.
'Progress will happen at different rates - some of them will consolidate
with another year with the development squad, some will go out on loan and
try to do what Reece, Trevoh, Mason and Fikayo have done, and others will
hopefully keep getting closer to the men's first team squad. There might
be no trophies this season but there's certainly been a lot of fantastic
achievement and progress from Chelsea Academy players.'
