U21s & U18s apparently both playing at home this morning.

The only Bazuka FC I can find is a Ghanaian team

Results?

They don't provide those for at least a day or 3 😉 and even then it tends to be for either the U21s or U18s, rather than both.  

Last week we got the lineup for the U18s but not the U21s, and the result for the U21s but not the U18s.

Who ever is on the Academy page for both X & IG is very poor at his job and does the job at his own whim …. It’s so random ! Even had a match picture update to say Rovers were winning 3-0 midway through the game but then no final result just silence …. Weird

After all the cost cutting it's probably Waggott or Ben Benson.

Another loan out.  Boggan to Macclesfield for a month

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/august/15/joe-joins-macclesfield-on-loan/

He is only 17 and scored a hat trick v Wolves U21s a few weeks ago, another one to keep an eye out for

Yep, he had been their director of football for a couple of years (saw a documentary about the reforming of the club), & took over as manager over the summer

More to the point, it costs to play at Leyland.

@We Are The Rovers Can we get some sort of promotion organised for the Bilbao game, given the connection between our clubs?

We'll look into it 🤦‍♂️

U21s won 4-0 on Tuesday v Blackpool.  Wood scoring a couple despite being on loan in Scotland since the weekend, which is odd

U21s play Everton away at 7pm, seeing as this is a PL2 game, they may even update the twitter feed.  Looking at the absentees, have to assume that Duru & Tijon (maybe also O'Grady-Macken and Saadi but those would be more surprising) have maybe travelled with the 1st team to Norwich.

But if they do not, click here for a live text score/scorers update on Google

Apparently Its George Pickford, not Jordan (no relation) playing in goal for Everton U21s

2 down already, new French lad looks bright apparently though

2-1 at half time, Bloxham

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Finished a 3-1 defeat.

Last nights report for anyone interested

Numerous U21s involved in lower leagues

Looks like O'Riordan started for Cambridge United too.
