Give down to 10men for most of the game and playing quality opponents they acquited them selves well. Our stand out player was Rylah. Dixon a long way off first team so is M' Bick.
Sounds silly but 11v11 we would have likely won this.
Did anyone stand out for us, as much as they can in a game with 10 men vs some relatively experienced Brentford players?
The game was massively skewed after the early sending off, and we were a goal down at that time. I thought all of the players did their best, and sometimes the best was pretty good. I like the industry of Kedwell, Enslin came on as sub and again was good, Rylah was a bit more like his old self, and I think M'bick played well although he isn't ready yet, nor is Casey. If Dixon can adjust a bit, and be well coached, and even more importantly better deployed he could be a good one. His pace and energy are outstanding, and at the moment he looks like he would do damage as a winger (the old fashioned kind) with the speed he has, I wonder if he could cross the ball well, we didn't see that. Probably not ready for first team inclusion, but I would certainly try him out in the silly buggers against Bromley.
Sitting with 2 friends at the game. We all though Kedwell had an awful match. A big disappointment after playing so well in the recent game at The Valley. It really was men against boys today. Brentford bullied and outplayed us all over the pitch.
I think Kedwell got an early knock, and was carrying it through the game and it got worse towards the end. I assume the thinking was that with only 10 men his presence was needed.

yes in the last 10mins of the game he stopped a few times as he looked in pain.
Here’s how our U21s line-up in this afternoon’s PDL2 fixture against Cardiff City: MacLorg; Toure, Hunter, Bower; Rylah, Fullah, Kedwell (c), Huke, Enslin; Mbick, Casey
Subs: Woodham, Hobden, Cann, Safa, Sol-Loza
No dixon
No Mwamba either, banned after his red card I assume. It'll be interesting to see if Dixon is on the first team bench, or at least part of the match day squad.
Sol-Loza is regularly making the bench, seems he's the stand out from the new u18s so far.
Fullah won the ball in the centre circle, move went out to Mbick on the left, he drove into the box and Huke put over the bar with his left foot. Half time 0-0.
Where is our new goalkeeper Read? I think is his name
I would assume in Bristol as the 3rd keeper for warm ups/cover if one goes down in the warm up
He was warming up at the valley yesterday so cover as 3rd keeper. I saw him play twice for u21 at they valley last month he was very confident and vocal
The game should have been played at The Arden Garages Stadium, which is actually in Stratford-upon-Avon. Maybe the teams can go an watch some Shakespeare instead.

Less than 20 miles for me. I’ll have to look out for it if it is re-scheduled. The rain in this area has been coming down in biblical torrents over the last couple of weeks.
Slated to play Ipswich Town at Princes Park Dartford at 1 pm today. There might be a preview on the official site sometime in the next few hours, including information if there is to be a stream. So far there is nothing on the official site with three and a half hours to go.
