He reminded me of David Speedie style wise.

I see from the Boro website that the U23s were beaten last night 4-1. A Mols penalty (or Mocs as they call him) put us 1 up early on, but that was as good as it got. No wonder there's no mention of it yet on Rovers' website...

There's no comment what the Rovers team was, has anyone any ideas? I'm guessing (hoping!) it was a young one given it was a cup match that we're already through in, esp with all the first team injuries we have.

Thanks Chaddy. So pretty experimental then. Good experience for the younger ones hopefully.

When I saw the lineup, I was actually thinking about him and how nobody ever seems to really talk about him so he is probably one of the ones that will fade into non-league obscurity. But that's a belter though. Prefer Arma's but it's like comparing two gorgeous women really, just a matter of preference.

Really enjoyed that tonight. End to end with a couple of goals each. Rovers should probably have won, on the balance of chances, but I was happy to get a point in the end.

Great strike from Paten which seemed to arrow into the top corner, rather than the slightly swinging one by Arma. Looked a soft pen after the ref cocked up and didn’t give a corner from a Mulgrew free kick.

Not too cold tonight either!

[Colt Seavers]

You must be tougher than me Stuart. I'm still thawing out!

Yes, decent performance tonight and an entertaining game. Midway through the first half I heard Mulgrew  say to Louie  Annesley "What's his name" about our right back Dan Pike, which made me laugh. He then proceeded to give Pike a piece of his mind.

Think he called him a stupid boy....

I must have been wearing a thicker coat! The car said 7.5 degrees so a lot warmer than Tuesday.

It was weird seeing Charlie out there tonight.

[Fraserkirky]

Charlie boy any good tonight?

[Colt Seavers]

Yes he was decent. Typical Charlie really. Very unlucky with a free kick. Looked in good shape. I always wonder how older pro players will cope with quick, aggressive  young lads but they tend to handle them quite easily. 

I enjoyed watching him. He played the full game. 

[Oldgregg86]

Thanks for the updates and thanks chaddy for the team

Good. That's the best kind of influence first teamers can have on these young lads, way too protected at younger ages these days.

[DeeCee]

Virgil Dan Pike?

Bit hypocritical though, Mulgrew has horrendous positional sense so not the smartest defender himself.

Under 18's playing at Ewood Park tomorrow night against Preston under 18's

Anybody in attendance, updates would be appreciated. Sadly not going along tonight but hopefully we can do the 'Youth Double' over Nob End!!
