Under 21s (Match updates and news)

Bods64 · September 2023

Our delivery from wide areas has been really poor

Southbank · September 2023

Not many positives in this performance from either a team or individual point of view.

Bods64 · September 2023

None of our lot seem to be able to control the ball. Well beaten by a much better team.

Roddy got some minutes in the legs, just in case he has to deputise for Edun.

Bods64 · September 2023

Best chance of the night to us after 88’. Nice cross by Gough just beyond our attacker

Bods64 · September 2023

Hard to be too critical of this performance. Doubtful if they will ever come up against a better team in this competition or indeed any U21 matches

Worrying. Bournemouth made us look very ordinary.

Tunwellsaddick · September 2023

Strong performance by Bournemouth. Charlton never got going.

With all the coming and going of coaches from 18's to the 1st team, who was the 21's coach at the Bournemouth game ?

I got into the ground by showing my Valley Gold card. The lady at the entrance said she wasn't sure if this was right. I said it was on the website.

Toby Bower has to be the best crosser of the ball at the club. Have missed him.

Shouldn't a Premier U21'S side make an established League 1 U21'S side look ordinary ?

Depends a lot on availability but we looked impressive against Sheffield Wednesday recently.

Would like to see Bower at least get some sub minutes in the EFL Trophy , was very impressed when I saw him 2 years ago for the U18s in the Youth Cup

Not really. Bournemouth are hardly City or Chelsea, and are only Cat 2 themselves.

Don’t think you can compare really , there are so many variables we have players out on loan and in the first team squad that were not playing in that Bournemouth game. No way did we have our strongest team out most that played we’re playing under 18 football last year where as Bournemouth played a strong team apparently.So if we had every under 21 playing in that match then we would see if they looked ordinary.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but just in case: tickets for the games against Aston Villa under-21s at the Valley on 10 October have gone on sale. £10 adult, £5 concessions, all in West Lower as usual. 7pm kickoff.
