Let's hope you're right but with our injury record.

Game today. Savage said Dausch was going to return in this one before going back to forest green for the loan...let's see

Saw on twitter that Batanwi is out for about 8 weeks after his surgery which whilst disappointing i did fear longer.

Finally, anyone know where Di Trolio is? Went off injured first pre season game and not seen since

Claus Jorgensen’s son on the bench. Would be class if he turns out good.

He's a great lad and a really good player and leader who loves the club - had him down as future club captain since I first saw him in the U12s

If I'd lost 7 games in a row to start the season I wouldn't want my face on the club website either

Lad called Josh Stidder. 16/17yo, first start for the U21s. Strong runner, good finisher. 2nd goal was a beauty.

Is it the case that they're scoring plenty and losing narrowly?

Not really.

P7 L7 F8 A23 GD-15

PDL Cup

P2 L2 F2 A7 GD-5

So averaging about a goal a game but conceding 3.

Take a look at the replies on the official Instagram. Seems there’s a lot of bettors angry at the U21 team

Dausch played 45 yesterday and scored. Imagine he's off to FGR now for the resumption of the loan. Be very interesting to see how he does as they're flying at the moment

Man United monitor exciting youngster at Championship side

The 16-year-old was named on the first team bench for Saturday's game against Blackburn. It comes after he impressed making his first appearance for the club's U21s earlier this season.

Man united apparently looking at stealing Shepherd who was on the bench today.. fucking typical..

He's been a CCFC ST holder since he was a kid so hopefully that helps

Interesting article on U21 football -

England’s under-21 leagues are filled with players whose clubs see no future for them

Contract award at 18 is a false dawn for many who are there to make up the numbers and get no benefit from it

As I've said before limit squad sizes to 40 or 50 on pro contracts and all these kids won't be hoarded with no plan to ever get them to the first team until they end up leaving at 24-25.

Fuck sake, and people wonder why no kids are breaking through to the first team, they're all getting nicked before they've even got close to the squad. Hopefully if we go up we can keep some more of the youngest here.

It's not broken, this is exactly what they wanted. Even the FA are happy because it's getting more players into the top academies.

Screw the lower league clubs.

Wonder what prompted this approach to game's they're involved in, George Shepherd played the whole 90.
Hope it ain't catching tonight!
