Interesting goalkeeper selection, for Green to suddenly start playing for U21s.

Are we in the trialist/released in the summer period now?

[ClaretTony]

The trialist is Timi Adekunie from Spurs

Underway

Big save from Green after a mistake by Bauress let them in

[ClaretTony]

And another good save by Green

[Lip]

Trafford out.

[ClaretTony]

McDermott free kick well saved - our first effort

[ClaretTony]

Not a lot happening but we are having more of the play now

42 mins: Burnley 0 Wigan 1

[ClaretTony]

Half time: Burnley 0 Wigan 1

We’ve not been very good at all tonight but I wasn’t expecting that goal.

[Buxtonclaret]

U21s we've sent out have been on fire recently.
Second half comeback!

[ClaretTony]

Adekunie on for Williams at start of second half

48 mins: Burnley 0 Wigan 2

[ClaretTony]

Wigan keeper makes his first save of the night to deny Veevers

[NewClaret]

C’mon lads, let’s have a comeback!

[ClaretTony]

Wigan have just missed an absolute sitter. Waited for the net to bulge but it went wide.

[ClaretTony]

60 mins: Jackson on for Balogun

[ClaretTony]

63 mins: Burnley 0 Wigan 3

[Woodleyclaret]

That's a shock I thought we were on the up at U21level

[NewClaret]

[ClaretTony]

69 mins: Ly, Anass & Socoliche on for Veevers, Mendes & Vetro

[ClaretTony]

72 mins: Burnley 1 Wigan 3, Socoliche turns in a Jackson cross

[ClaretTony]

Socoliche got past the goalkeeper but from a wide position couldn’t find the empty net with the ball going wide for a goal kick.

[ClaretTony]

Ends in a 3-1 defeat

[ClaretTony]

That was very definitely not a good performance

[NewClaret]

Thanks for the updates Tony. Felt guilty you having to take your gloves off to keep us updated!

Sounds like a disappointing night.

Despite thermal socks and football socks on my feet are unbelievably cold but my hands are numb from taking off my gloves to post.

Just a disappointing performance but they’ve been rare this season to be fair. The more experienced players had off nights too.

Cheers for the updates.

Probably why sticking then straight into the first team as some suggest might not be the smartest move

It feels like minus ten tonight. Fantastic effort to get out and watch, but really appreciate the updates.

Sad to hear about the more experienced players. I looked at that team and was expecting a big win. Everyone can have an off night and hopefully lots of lessons to learn.

Hope you thaw out and warm up soon.
