Regionals Lee J Lynch is making terrific progress at West Bromish Alibion, and not only is he playing with the Academy side but he has also started the last 3 reserve games and is due to start again tonight (Mon 26th Oct 09) for the reserves against Port Vale. He was also on stand-bye last year to the Irish U19 squad and is hopeful of getting a call up early next year to the main U19 squad.
Lee J is comfortable playing wide midfield in a 4-4-2 formation but right through the club West Brom play a 4-3-3 formation. He is the only old fashioned out-and-out winger in the side and so he is playing as a striker and has to adjust his game as the other two strikers don't score a lot of goals by getting on the end of crosses, instead they are the more modern type of striker feeding off through balls in the centre. He is very happy with the way things are going and is getting on well with his coaches and fellow players. He will be home again at the end of November as he is having a party to celebrate his 18th birthday.
