    Birmingham City striker Jay Stansfield and Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney have been selected

    A number of EFL players have been selected in England's Under-21 squad for the European Championships in Slovakia this month.

    Birmingham City's Jay Stansfield, who scored 19 goals in 37 League One games to help the Blues win the title and promotion to the second tier, is included.

    Stansfield played three times during qualifying but this will be his first appearance at a tournament.

    Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, who netted five league goals and made three assists, is also named in Lee Carsley's 23-man squad, along with Samuel Iling-Junior, who spent time on loan at Boro and Bologna from Aston Villa during the 2024-25 season.

    Two players are included from relegated Premier League clubs - Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson and Southampton defender Ronnie Edwards - with the latter spending the second half of the campaign on loan at QPR.

    Young Stoke City goalkeeper Tommy Simkin, who made 40 appearances on loan at Walsall in League Two and kept 14 clean sheets, has been picked.

    Fellow goalkeepers Teddy Sharman-Lowe, who helped Doncaster Rovers win promotion to League One while on loan from Chelsea, and James Beadle, who spent the season at Sheffield Wednesday on loan from Brighton, will also be on the plane.

    The U21 Euros will take place across eight host cities in Slovakia from 11-28 June with the Three Lions looking to retain the title they won in 2023.

    England are in a group with Czech Republic, Slovenia and and the top two will progress to the quarter-final.

  19. 🎧 Division over Carrick means it's the right call

    Craig Johns on Michael Carrick's departure

    Michael Carrick's sacking by Middlesbrough has split opinions.

    The 43-year-old was heavily criticised for tactical inflexibility and failing to guide Boro into a play-off place in a low-scoring season, but also drew sympathy for losing key players such as Emmanuel Latte Lath and Ben Doak.

    While arguments could be made either way, journalist Craig Johns says the lack of unity demonstrates why he feels the decision to sack Carrick was the right one.

    "I can understand why there is division in the fan base and I think that in itself suggests it probably is the right decision," Gazette reporter Johns told BBC Radio Tees.

    "What Boro need right now is everyone united, everyone together, everyone on the same front. Ultimately going into the new season with a bit of hope.

    "If Michael Carrick was still in charge, you very much get the impression that while half of the fan base would have been happy with that, half wouldn't."

    As for the timing of Carrick's departure, Johns does not believe it will affect Boro's work in the transfer window.

    "We know Boro did have a plan going into the summer, they've already identified five positions they feel need to be strengthened and the targets they would be interested in," he added.

    "I can't imagine that will change much with a different manager."

  23. 🎧 'Not reaching play-offs was failure by Carrick'

    Were Middlesbrough right to sack Michael Carrick?

    Middlesbrough's failure to reach the Championship play-offs is what ultimately cost Michael Carrick his job.

    That is the view of Boro's BBC Radio Tees commentator Mark Drury and former midfielder Neil Maddison.

    "Since they got to the play-offs, it's a story of regression," Drury told BBC Radio Tees.

    "Basically, that's it. Boro have been going backwards. This season in isolation was a massive failure.

    "To not reach the play-offs this season with the squad that had been assembled last August, with the make-up of the Championship as it was - to not get there was a failure and it was a big one."

    Maddison agreed and said the club have "gone backwards" since they lost 1-0 on aggregate to Coventry in the play-off semi-final in May 2023.

    "There were so many factors leading up to why it hasn't been a successful season," Maddison said.

    "There wasn't enough. For me this season, it's one of those where I haven't really enjoyed watching us in of the football, the results.

    "Go back to his [Carrick's] first season, I've never seen anything like it. It's the best football I've seen at the Riverside in my opinion. It was so exciting.

    "But since then, we have gone backwards. And if you don't push on, this is the outcome."
