Just back from the u23's. 21:04 - Sep 24 with 2246 views | TheTrueBlue1878 | That. Was. Special. I dont even know where to begin with that one. Some special talents, some special football on display. All from a team with only one senior pro (who in my eyes is around u23 level anyway). The fluidity, the freedom, the composure, the creativity is everything that optimises this football club. I saw Doig and Hurst there today, in their own nice little box together, I hope they studied that close. There is no way on this earth Dozzell is carrying an injury. Doing the dirty work right up until late. Didn't he injure himself by twisting on his own leg last year, so what would it matter if he was playing 90 minutes for the u23's, first team or down the park, if he twist his own leg surely the risk levels are the exact same whichever level he is playing at. | |

Maybe the disconnect between youth and first team is there. But some of them players should be sniffing around the first team. Especially Downes and Dozzell. They really did play well tonight. | |

Both looked good tonight I agree | |

Whilst I’d love to see that a lot of fans on here were desperate to throw Downes under a metaphorical bus when he played poorly at Hull. | |

I personally didn't, I didn't read too much after the Hull game but if that is true that is very poor. A 19 year old academy graduate, he will do some good some bad but eventually he will become very very good. I actually don't think he played poorly at Hull, he just made a mistake for the first goal, but Jesus Christ if that was anything to go by we would have a different player dropping every week. | |

But - whilst I agree with you - that’s what we got on here in response. “Downes isn’t up to it... where’s Chalobah... where’s Edun?” | |

Just back from the u23's. on 21:33 - Sep 24 with 1889 views | Terry_Nutkins | Watched most of it. We played well in parts but it was a low intensity game and the opposition were limited. We've got some talented boys coming through but this was a million miles away from the competitiveness of the league. You dont learn huge amounts here. One of the most noticeable things was too many times a runer would get past a man and there wouldnt be a huge effort to get back. You would not get away with it in the champ. Kenlock was guilty a few times of it. Really promising players there but few of them could make the step up. Agree the Dozzell situation is frustrating. Clearly this is less frantic, physical then champ but at some point he will need to get back playing in the champ surely before Christmas! | |

Just back from the u23's. on 21:48 - Sep 24 with 1771 views | Pinewoodblue | difficult to know just how good the U23's are, they are certainly a well drilled outfit and no shortage of talented players. It really is a shame that the club decided, allegedly for the sake of the pitch, not to enter the U23 cup competition which also Premier League sides | |

By that token half the team on Saturday should be thrown under the bus. Its not the one mistake that counts its what they do in the whole game! | | | |
