    Fabio Jalo came on for their first team at The Valley , meant to be very highly thought of. 
    He also came on for them in December against us, the same game that Mbick came on for us..!

    For comparison between Jalo and our two forward lads in terms of league minutes played:

    - Jalo, 281 mins and 1 goal
    - Mbick, 26 mins
    - Casey, 2 mins

    Casey certainly has the gift. Impressed with Wales as well, who looks very tidy and creative.

    No wonder this bloke Fábio Jaló looks good - according to Wiki, he's got 19 first team appearances under his belt and is a Portugal Under 19 international.

    I can’t recall Casey putting a foot wrong in this game so far.
    Having a good all round showing.

    Hunter I believe, classic football move.

    As in 1st half we seem to be finishing stronger.

    Fitter perhaps.

    Need to just hold on now

    Mbick has taken a right clattering in this match.

    Casey’s booking and substitution was an entertainment in itself.

    @AddicksAddict it'll be Birmingham, but when and where has yet to be confirmed

    Great all round performance from Mbick, despite getting well roughed up.

    I rarely see the academy lads these days but really enjoyed that. Casey has a great touch as well as the knack of finding the right finish (the screamer in the first half, the accurate placement for his second) so I agree that he is reminiscent of Clive Mendonca - nowhere near that level yet, obviously, but definite similarities in style. M'Bick seemed much more reliant on his physical stature but nothing wrong in using your assets. Good to have them both and it would be great if they are able to continue progressing up and into the first team in due course.

    I also thought the defence did well for most of the second half. Gough and Hunter stood up to a lot of pressure and saw the game out well for the final half hour or so.

    Great stuff, Young Guns ! 

    Full of energy, commitment, passion & skill. At times the passing was just like watching Brazil.

    Really hope that Nathan was there to see what he has to look forward to thanks to Steve Avory, Jason Pearce & their colleagues. What a wonderful set up we have ...Eat your heart out Millwall.

    Now for the Final....

    Bless their cotton socks !!!

    The little I have seen of him has not been disappointing considering all the contexts.
    File under interesting prospect.

    M'bick claimed that 'I'm bit of a handful' and he is correct. A right nuisance to any defence, always battling, worrying and...yes being a right bloody nusiance. Good for him.
