HT 1-1 I am surprised we're not leading, mainly due to last moment interventions by Cardiff once we have threaded through and around them using a combination of skill and telepathy. Cardiff carry a threat down the right mainly.
You can see that they trying to make Kanu into tge one upfront striker who holds the ball up Nd then passes. At the moment you can see he not that yet. For one thing needs too beef up a bit. Going forward from midfield we look a threat. The Young defence struggling with Garner ball.
An entertaining youth game. Glad Kanu got his goal which was poachers one, thought Rylah was the pick of our players this afternoon. One big criticism is they need to improve the passing accuracy both short and long.
Really pleased for Oguntayo who's been out for something like 15 months. This was, if I remember correctly, the most minutes he's had since pre- season before last.
Looked to get forward as you'd expect from a winger converted to wing back but defended well.
Otherwise a very young side with lots of U18s including Kanu who showed both his strengths (typical back to goal turn and shot for the 2nd) and where he needs to improve. He's young so wrong to expect the finished article.
Impressed with young Rylah & , as always, my personal favourite, Zach Mitchell. SUCH an intelligent player for his age & pretty much again, another immaculate performance.

Well done, Young Guns !
I have to say Zach Mitchell impresses every time I see him. His first 5 yards are so quick and it gets him out of trouble but he also displays a really good touch and is comfortable on the ball. I found out today he used to play in midfield and it doesn’t really surprise me. He could go far
Rylah is a new one this season but I like the look of him too. This level will help him learn a lot and I hope to see more of him but what I’ve seen so far is encouraging.
Henry was decent today and some of his passing was superb but he tried the Hollywood pass a little to often today
Anderson was efficient and it’s unusual to see someone so young being so comfortable on either foot - there’s a huge amount of potential in him.
Not a perfect performance but we were by far the better team today and deserved to win

Fingers firmly crossed for him he's a proper left/wing back.
More than the usual number of scouts seemed to be at the game.
I would guess we have more young players on our books than usual. Ladapo/Reilly/Toure/Bakrin and the like signed in the summer and I don't think are getting loads of minutes so maybe some more need to go on loan?
Had forgotten Gavin. Recently injured I assume. I wonder if he is worth a go whilst Stockley is out.
He's on loan @ Tonbridge Angels
We can recall him whenever we want of course, but he only has two goals this season in eleven games for them - Hasn't really set the world alight at that level, shame as he did so well with Billericay last season.
