    Shame about the defeat but good to see You're is back. I may have missed his name on earlier games but think he has been injured recently and seems to not have had a lot of luck of injuries for a couple of years.
    It's a tough learning curve for the U21s this year with so many of those eligible either out on loan or in our first team.  They will learn a lot from it I hope.
    Swansea had Kyle Naughton and Ollie Cooper (Welsh international) playing amongst others.
    Presume you meant to say Yamoah?
    Lol. Predictive text, or maybe a typo!  I meant Toure.  Now editted.

    Haha... Yeah I actually see it now
  • U21s not very strong this season?

    No, strong but mainly playing in the first team (Campbell, Ness, Leaburn, Asiimwe, Anderson), on loan (Kanu, Deji, Dench) or being saved for the Youth Cup game tonight.

    So we've put out a lot of very young (U18) players in many games who take a  bit of a thrashing when the other side is older and more experienced.

    All part of their development.

    Sent an email. They will respond within a day. Phones don't get answered until 11:00.

    Fairly typical of the comms team.

    But what this means, i don't know.

  • I can't make this today - too much to do at work and I think I am all "Charltonned" out for a few days after last nights debacle

  • Why does the time "14.59" appear on the yet to go live stream screen ?

  • 1-0 Rylah
  • I think our Ladapo has grown a bit recently.
  • edited November 2023
    Ladapo looking good.

    What looks like a stonewall penalty denied as I type. One of ours gets pushed over as he's crowded out in the 18.
  • Ladapo a threat so he just got chopped.
    OK Now.
  • Seth are you there?
  • Adigun playing very well as usual.

    No. Watching the stream.
  • Adigun seems a bit more well rounded than Anderson. Hard to tell with the opponents though. 
  • Yeah, it is hard to tell, but this young team are playing nicely today, with Toure and Laqeretabua forming an unfamiliar central defensive partnership, flanked by Chin and Bower both playing well. Kedwell also showing up in midfield, this is a little bit like getting the band back together, but of course no Kanu up top.
    Between Anderson and Adigun I wouldn't like to say who will go furthest in their futures in the game.
  • Back underway.

    Another really good interview, this time with Harris O'Connor who was released in the Summer - Shame how it appeared to work out for him, as was more impressed with him in that EFL Trophy game than I was Ness to be fair.

    Harris O’Connor: “I thought I’d made it, and that’s my downfall”
  • 2-0 Ladapo header from an Adigun cross.
    Frankly we could've had a few more in this game.
  • A few times we've been too slow in pulling the trigger or tried to take on one too many. 

    Kedwell skims the post as I type. 
  • Casey wonder goal 3-0
  • The U21 keeper looks miles better than the chump who kept goal for the 1st team yesterday.
  • Casey immediately subbed off.
  • 4-0 Mbick header from a free kick by Kedwell.
  • 5-0 Hobden robbed Rylah(!) and finished low and powerful across the keeper.
  • Full Time 5-0.
    Nice change from recent results, and highly enjoyable football.
  • Some great goals and an emphatic win.

    No idea how good or bad Ipswich are but they were well beaten.
