Under 21s start the defence of their title at the Higgs on Tuesday (1pm)

Big question is what will the team be like with yet another blank 1st team weekend.

5 over age players can play. Howley, Doyle and Tayo only 1st team players in the age bracket.

Could be a strong lineup, with Robins wanting to keep players ticking over.

LastGarrison · Aug 21, 2022

How many people generally turn up for these matches?

Thinking about going along to this.

Frostie · Aug 22, 2022

Would have been there but for testing positive for Covid yesterday

Around 50 maybe slightly more. There's plenty of room to watch along one side of the pitch and behind one goal. Parking is normally the biggest pain.

Ah wish they were later so wasn't at work

SBchimp · Aug 23, 2022

Should be a good game today, expect us to field a strong team and Reading have just dropped down from the Cat1 programme so should also be very strong. They've already played 2 games in the league with one win and one defeat.

Love the enthusiasm but if Dabo plays in this i'll eat my hat

No Dinanga or Lusala in the squad

ccfc922 · Aug 23, 2022

Shame there's no markets anywhere, would easier put corners and over 2.5 for first half with that line up

larry_david · Aug 23, 2022

Bell been promoted to GK in 23s. Surely Tyler/Bilson have to get a loan out this season.

What price Hamer getting sent off?

Quite a few here. Interested to see how Cashman plays.

What is that green stuff that's on the ground? Anyone know?

Nick · Aug 23, 2022

You would think Hamer "should" be miles ahead.

Is U21 the new U23?

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Aug 23, 2022

Are we winning yet?

There's single wins and over total goals etc. No corners, cards, goal scorers etc

No player card markets

To any spectators... Is Hamer going through the motions or is he playing at, relatively, full tilt.

From memory in here, we have had shirkers when they move down to u/23, and it's not been viewed well.

I don't think I've ever seen Hamer play full tilt, I've only ever known him to go through the motions

He has bursts of it but then ends up getting booked

steve101 · Aug 23, 2022

Is Robins' watching the match?

Nick · Aug 23, 2022

Cashman scored 2? Were they any good?

SBT · Aug 23, 2022

Me trying to squeeze onto the Cashman hype train:

Cashman and tavares linked up well. Hamer didn't have to do much. Palace lad is a beast for his age

Both tidy finishes. Excellent link up play with Tav on the second.

torchomatic · Aug 23, 2022

Cashman played well. Skilfull, has a good eye for a pass and can be aggressive too. First one a tap-on but linked up well with Tav for the second.

Palace lad is good but his crosses, on the whole, were useless.

LastGarrison · Aug 23, 2022

Enjoyed that.

Thought they controlled the first half but we were much better second half.

The Burroughs brothers both played well and also liked the look of Reid in the first half, strong in the tackle, good on the ball and very vocal.

Second half was all us and thought Nee looked lively when he came on and Finnegan also controlled the midfield well when he came on. All took their goals very well and we could have had a couple more (Reid header and Adaramola lifting it over the bar).

Cashman is clearly a talented lad and put in some good runs and passes but did go missing at times.

Best player on the pitch for me though was there number 10 who looked a great little player but seemed miles ahead of his teammates and particularly the two big lumps they had up front.
