U21s v Birmingham

[ClaretTony]

Team: Lewis Forshaw, Hamzat Balogun, Joe Worrall, Hjalmar Ekdal, Logan Pye, Joe Bauress, Tom Tweedy, Charlie Veevers, Tommy McDermott, Lewis Richardson, Joe Westley.

Subs: Benn Ward, Hannes Delcroix, Joe Ashton, João Mendes, Brandon Ly.

[ClaretTony]

Returns for three central defenders

[hoosier-daddy]

So Worrall and Ekdal are closer to first team action than Delcroix. Delcroix makes us 3 players who can play left back.

Pretty decent side that

[Goliath]

I would have liked to see more of Delcroix after his appearance at Spurs in the cup last season but with the depth we have at cb he looks like the prime candidate to ship out

Or he swops with one of those 2 at HT and plays 45...

I'm yet to see anything but I've learnt my lesson with CJER so I'm keeping my cards close to my chest

Underway

6 mins: Burnley 0 Birmingham 1

It had been all Burnley, three corners in the first three minutes and from their first attack they score

[ClaretTony]

11 mins: Burnley 1 Birmingham 1

[ClaretTony]

Good finish from Westley having been played in by Veevers

[ecc]

Good to see Ekdal having presumably come through his first U21 match without problems.

Don't jinx it, only been playing around 15 mins.

15 mins: Burnley 2 Birmingham 1

[ClaretTony]

Westley again, this time set up by Richardson

[NewClaret]

Love to see responses like this from teams!

I’ll wait a bit longer than 15 minutes before suggesting that

[Buxtonclaret]

Wish they'd put these on YouTube.

[Stonehouse]

Isn’t it is 2nd game?

[wadeswondergoal]

I assume ecc means that Ekdal felt no ill effects after his last U21 outing.

[randomclaret2]

Didnt Ekdal and Redmond both make their comebacks against Blackburns U21s a couple of weeks back ? Since then there have been 3 more U21 games which I dont think Ekdal has featured in , whereas Redmond has been on the bench for the first team.

Westley hat trick.

Cross from Pye, keeper saves Westley shot but he heads home the rebound.

Get in

It is but a bit surprising to make the comment 15 mins into a game.

[ClaretTony]

Superb goal from McDermott, looping it into the top corner from just outside the box.

[ClaretTony]

Brilliant save from the Brum keeper to deny Westley but flag up for offside

[giveusaB]

Is Scott Parker there Tony?

[Blyclaret]

Westley seems to score lots goals. Hes 20 … any chance he could step up to first team ??

Yes, that's at least two people who are keeping up.

He played against Rovers on 15 November.

[Buxtonclaret]

Scoring some goals, at the moment.
Time for a for more.

[morninbob]

He played 45 minutes a few weeks ago.

He's one pushing for league football, he needs a good loan move.
Hopefully they get him out in January to a league 2 side if he's good enough.

45+1: Burnley 5 Birmingham 1, McDermott

He’s had two National League loans and appears to have struggled

Fully aware of that as posted but find it very strange to wait until 15 minutes gone over two weeks later to post it.

[ClaretTony]

Really good response after going behind so early in the game

[Burnley1989]

That's the worry, the jump is much bigger than people realise but sometimes football at that level is difficult when you've come through academy's playing a different way and it just doesn't work

[ClaretTony]

Delcroix on for Worrall for second half

[ClaretTony]

46 mins: Burnley 6 Birmingham 1

[ClaretTony]

Lovely pass from Tweedy and class finish from Westley for his fourth

[Bosscat]

Bloody hell at this rate they will have scored more than the lasses did on Sunday

[NottsClaret]

True that, you usually see an average League Two side get the better of the biggest and best u21 sides in that Papa Johns thing. Different game at senior level.

[hoosier-daddy]

This game could go either way.

[ClaretTony]

Bauress shot tipped onto bar by the keeper who then grabs the follow up. Birmingham then go down to the other end and force Forshaw into a top save.

[ClaretTony]

60 mins: Burnley 7 Birmingham 1

[ClaretTony]

Good finish from Veevers
