Serious lAck of attack from us, times against ten men we could have broke away we slowed down and can't do basics!

It's literally men against boys to be fair.

Certainly shows in the 50/50's

[Amo]

Why do we have Todd from Breaking Bad in midfield?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

We're liddle small town Blackburn, it's not like we've ever won anything is it? Commentators doin my noodle!

[AdamRochina]

Yeah and these boys struggle to do the basics

[donnermeat]

Looks like Scott Dann's son at centre half

Disagree.

[LDRover]

Shades of the first team there when we sat back after the sending off. That was the time to push on.

Agree, a bloody good effort too against them also! The pure size difference between both teams when competing for the ball massively shows.

[Stuart]

What is this ref seeing from corners?

Signalled the last one went out of play

[Swanson]

The young lad Lewis Hardcastle might be a real prospect. Only 16?

FIFA 11 doesn't really count.

Unlucky, best team won and Rovers didn't let themselves down

Good effort lads - they had to play against a large home crowd - while those watching on tv had to suffer a home commentary

Stop being a tit

Great effort from the lads, no lack of effort that's for sure.

Mahoney, Raya and Nyambe look good to me and Hardcastle could be a good un

[hollowsr]

Don't think anyone would have been surprised if that had been 4 0 beforehand. Great effort from the lads, performance they can be proud of and small signs of hope for future

[AdamRochina]

Not fifa mate, seriously most of them crosses were criminal , I don't care about age or how good someone's youth is, the fact some of ours couldn't do basic things was shocking ,

Wasn't that Mahoneys dad on here a few month back calling the academy saying they played sides that where far superior an they just weren't competitive and they don't get chances in first team etc? Would be interesting if anyone can recall that?

Anyone remember? Just wondering, cause he seems right to me. We look like a schoolboy side whilst other under 21s look like men's teams.

[Stuart]

Scabby. Southampton really shouldn't be proud of that. In contrast I'm really proud of our young lads this evening. Pushing a very good side laden with PL debutants very close to the wire.

Let's hope that some of these lads can push on, and some of them even be given opportunities around the first team. I wonder how we'd have done with O'Sullivan and Lenihan in the side. It'll be a travesty to them, and an insult to the U21s, if we don't see both play some part tomorrow evening.

I think he said they were playing against lads a couple of years older than Rovers and it showed that tonight

Yes, hope to see more from those players next season.
