U18s smash six in perfect start
Everton Under-18s underlined their storming start to the season with a six-goal hammering of Blackburn Rovers, four goals coming from Ellis Simms, who also missed a penalty but has scored in every match so far!
The other goals were scored by Mackenzie Hunt and Korede Adedoyin. Their 4th win in as many games consolidates a perfect start to the season for Paul Tait's youngsters, who are the early leaders in the U18 Premier League (North):

Some info occasionally on Twatter, some guy with the annoying tag "@EvertonYouth" — who is nothing to do with Everton and only sporadically covers the games.
Still, I'm tracking what I can here on our U18s ToffeeWeb Page.

His record so far reads 8 goals in 4 games.
I like it!

Michael Branch scored a ton when he was in the academy. Just saying.
Too early to tell if someone is going to make it. 9 times out of 10 it doesn't end up well.
Jose Baxter, Nick Chadwick, John-Paul Kissock, Ryan Ledson, George Green, Michael Branch, just to name a few. All big-time prospects ended up being big disappointments.
