Academy & U21s

[all you need is duff]

Raya looks decent but we already have too many young goalkeepers in the squad

[Kie_BRFC]

You mean Mahoney and Nyambe Adam?

Chaddy correcting spellings, never thought I'd see the day

0-0, could still nick it. H-T

[Stuart]

I've been impressed. Rovers youngsters have grown into the game. Had a couple of chances with good crosses. Always going to be second best on paper and still a tough 45 minutes to go but they've done very well.

[hollowsr]

Good showing, Southampton showing more as half went on but as we are quite a bit younger than them a very good first half.

5 of them I think could still play for u18

The spawns of satan posse will be on to you

Can't believe how @#/? young Rhodes is playing

[rovers11]

They've done well. Saints look far more talented on the ball, but we look strong.

Nyambe does look very talented, Mahoney also looks very good. Raya looks very assured, and Rittenberg looks quite dangerous. Mansell is a real handful and puts himself about. Bauress has really impressed me, he's picked up all the loose balls in midfield.

None of the others look like they'd ever have the potential to make the first team.

[ABBEY]

Do you go go to all u21 games or have you based that on 45 mins ?

[AdamRochina]

Yeah sorry using the tablet so keeps automatically spell check ng lol

[rovers11]

I don't go to u21 games, that was based on my impression of the first 45 mins so I could be completely wrong about those players.

Many of them I am seeing for the first time, as I suspect is the case for many other Rovers fans. It's not my job to decide which youth team players get promoted to the first team so I tend not to focus on that level too much!

[A cup of beans]

Done really well to contain.

Seem to be well organised and actually have a game plan.

Reed quite lucky to still be on.

[LDRover]

Raya looks a good 'keeper to me. He's got that authority about him.

Not too much else to get excited about and this guy Carson is pretty much a ginger Jason Lowe.

[Gav]

Very lucky goal really, great save just earlier by the Raya.

Slow build up, sideways and back.

It was coming

[AdamRochina]

Poor tactics but we can't expect much with a very young side, but it's worrying that David Carson can't play football! and he's the captain

We should really try to tie up Raya or else I fear it might be a Shay Given deja vu. (If i remember that situation correctly?) Edited April 20, 2015 by Swanson

More on Southampton tonight than at Ewood Saturday

[Swanson]

1-1 own goal!

[hollowsr]

Brilliant cross.....and a good header too

[perthblue02]

lucky equaliser but deserved after last 10 mins or so

Bring Rudy on!

[ABBEY]

ha proper jumped off settee ...mum in law jumped and said "are you mad " lol

[LDRover]

Enjoying this. Unlike the first team they are giving it a right good go. The young 16 year old number 14 looks a good un as well, comfortable on the ball and always moving forward.

Have you heard this bloody commentator?

Anyone would think we are a non league outfit up against the boys of la masia.

Same as the Swansea cup match.

Rovers have never been a PL team. Biggest game in our club's history tonight.
