Definitely a good start with such a young team. Not heard of either of the right sided players at all. On youthwiki one of the games had a Ben Ward starting for us last year some time - assume it was someone getting it wrong. Wasn't mentioned in the scholars thing on the website recently though...

Why is this down as a transfer rumour? But yes, that is a team that you'd expect to see as a development side in Checkatrade (or whatever it's called now) andeven then it's on the young side. We've put out older teams in the PDL

That's all a bit Chaplin-esque for me. Huge disparitty in opinion. Personally don't think he was particularly good - as said took a chance off Jobello and missed a decent chance after that but it's one half-hour performance so not going to extrapolate from that.

Westbrooke and Shipley seemed really suprised at the physicality of Bolton and just weren't up for that. Maybe they thought they'd have a nice day playing triangles around them? Mind you, Baka and Hiwula hardly seemed up for the physicality either. Trouble is, for the next few games their...

I seem to remember MR started with a 4-2-3-1 then changed? Last season he eventually changed it back with Bright and it worked.

Not massively concerned, but we do look a bit toothless up front. Got to give Godden time to settle, as well as Jobello, plus there's Allen and Kastaneer to come in so hopefully it'll improve. Still the question mark over MR's refusal to change tack during games but he's a good manager for us...

Nah. He had five minutes against an U23 team and didn't score. He's shit and we should get rid ASAP. ;)

I wondered if MR did that so he could say we had the youngest player on the pitch.

Poor poor result but goes deeper than that. We didn't play as well as we could do. Could be for a number of reasons. it was probably difficult for MR to prepare for the game tactically as he had no idea who'd be playing for them or how it'd be best to wear them down (even though it shouldn't...

Given the way they played I'd have thought you'd want us to sign them all up!

Really hope we give them a tonking today and Godden gets on to get his account running. If we gave Bapaga a run would he ironically be the youngest on the pitch?

I've got them down as U16. I think Ward is a schoolboy as well - just not sure of his first name. It's either Ben or George I think.

4-3 opening day win for the U18. Rodber, Howley, Ward and Nee got the goals.

But the only reason you can't get a player of that quality is because the top teams hoard them. If they didn't have that ability these players that get shipped out on loan would be playing down the league anyway. Maybe thats more an issue of squad numbers than loans, but if top teams didn't...

But it also makes long term planning almost impossible. Look at the year we had Kent, Armstrong and Murphy on loan - we looked great. Season after we got relegated. It's too high a level of player turnover. Plus all the financial advantages favour the teams that already have the money. Player...

Last night in a dream I saw a scoreboard that had us winning 7-0 on it!

When I type in Richard Duffy I throw away my phone. But the fucking thing keeps on coming back to me.

When I type in Rory Donnelly or Robert Jarni my phone goes missing

If I type in Marlon King my phone calls the police

When I type in Burge I get pictures of 1920's dancing girls.
