Such a young team.... I hope they don't get easily beaten for the sake of their own self-confidence.

That's the one problem. It's good that the regular players are getting first team football and that these lads are getting an opportunity but it is a concern when there are so many of them at one time.

I read that Richardson was injured. He seems to have been out a while. Any news on the injury or is he fit again ?

The club never give out information on injuries to academy players - they just go missing and you assume an injury.

Good crowd

Fenlon on for Chris Conn

Wow that seems like an excellent result given the age of our squad

[clansman]

Great win.
Thanks for updates spiked !

[ClaretTony]

What a fantastic result that is for those lads

[Bosscat]

Great result for the boys

[Jakubs Tash]

Great result! Well done to those young lads! This u23 team does seem to have a knack of forcing a goal when they need one

[FCBurnley]

How strong was the Palace team ?

Well done lads! No idea how strong Palace's lineup was but they couldn't have had a younger team than ours (in theory).

Middlesbrough beating Rovers 2-1 after half an hour. That result would end our chance to progress.

Was always a big ask to win the last two while Middlesbrough lose them.

Middlesbrough have played Ryan Shotton & George Friend tonight.

Hmmmmm a conspiracy theorist would say Woe-vers losinging to Boro is a fix

[bfcmik]

3-1 Boro now

We've started playing a very young team, I guess lots of our current U23s will not be offered deals for next season.

There are about 6 out on loan

We have just announced a new deal for Mace Goodridge earlier today. The 3 other usual u23 midfielders are all out on loan along with another 8. Most of them are at EFL clubs.

Finished 4 - 1.

[boatshed bill]

There are about 6 out on loan

And about 6 still at the club not used.
I'd say they are fast-forwarding the younger players.

A few played earlier in the week I think, & some are carrying knocks but this happens every year, they had a bit of a cull at the end of last season. That's why Richardson, Woods & a couple of others got an early chance then, although the last 18 months they do seem to be bringing in some higher potential 17/18 plusses from other clubs too............ I believe that was part of Mike Riggs' remit. Now all he has to do is find some players to compete for a first team starting place..........breath held lol!

Those not on loan and not playing are injured or ill.

The real sign of improvement will be when we step out of the PDL and join the Premier League development teams. Noticeable difference from the games I have refereed
