• U21s v Birmingham

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 6:12 pm**

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.

Returns for three central defenders

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 6:29 pm**

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

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

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

11 mins: Burnley 1 Birmingham 1

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:13 pm**

Good finish from Westley having been played in by Veevers

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:13 pm**

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

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

Westley again, this time set up by Richardson

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:18 pm**

Love to see responses like this from teams!

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

Wish they'd put these on YouTube.

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

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.

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

26 mins: Burnley 4 Birmingham 1

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

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:29 pm**

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

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:36 pm**

Is Scott Parker there Tony?

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:36 pm**

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.

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:45 pm**

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

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.

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:51 pm**

Really good response after going behind so early in the game

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

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:08 pm**

Delcroix on for Worrall for second half

46 mins: Burnley 6 Birmingham 1

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:09 pm**

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

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:11 pm**

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

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.

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:18 pm**

This game could go either way.

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:20 pm**

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.

60 mins: Burnley 7 Birmingham 1

Good finish from Veevers
