5-0 deru

4-0 ACD hatrick

I like us entering these extra competitions for fitness reasons

3-0 ACD again

Turned away for a second and number 2 was scored

1-0 tyjon

Not really they are dishing minutes out between 5 or 6 comps, central league is technically a reserve competition too

Recall all our fa youth cup runs, 2020 was brilliant with the performances, the 4-2 against knobbers was a standout a certain Ty Dolan was there captain and scored the opener celebrated with a back flip, shame some of the good talent from that group won’t or haven’t made it. you also forgot 2010, grant Hanley and Phil jones being our CB partnership, we beat Blackpool, man united, Everton and someone else I think ( not in order) to meet Chelsea in semis where we lost over two legs, remember me and my grandmother watching the home one and saying nothing is getting past that monster keeper they had who I think is Sam Walker last time I checked knew was at Colchester

Rovers 21s travel to Carlisle today fir Central league cup and you wouldn’t even know about it if you didn’t happen to check the site for fixtures….. poor poor advertising and not keeping fans in the loop, rovers have an academy page on Twitter so why isn’t that more active ?

Baker isn’t a winger he’s a CM don’t get the doubters here

There are gonna be off days so I won’t judge too much based off a cagey derby game against a dirty but determined Preston knob end however hedges and Dolan are not starters they are impact subs and maybe start the odd game types for rotation. cantwell is in his pre season I would give him 10-15 minutes that have him play 45 at Chorley against Preston 21s on Monday. woukd also considering giving toth, Buckley, jrc runs out over the coming weeks with the 21s to keep them match fit, there is plenty of competitions to do so in pears brittain carter hyam pickering travis tronstad ACD ohashi weimann geuye

Under Mowbray and jdt we fold in a game like that, least under justice we are getting tough away points despite poor performances

Totally agree they are either shit or good, not consultant enough and Dolan never plays well against Preston

Good thing is any other season a performance like that would see us beat but we kept it a bay none the less ref a fucking disgrace, he didn’t wanna send the knobber off so he was gagging to send one of ours off yet completely misses the bit ? Disgusting, typical knobber team dirty wankers never have a team with grace and class always dirty lumps playing on the ref, refs always buy it aswell horrible team don’t deserve to be at such a level they should be in the lower leagues with the rest of them. That horrible lump should be done for assault too, if I was manager/ chairman/ player I would be pressing charges and getting the lump infront of a judge next week

Both ages are gonna suffer a bit this season key undrr 21s moving up to first team or loaned out meaning under 18s stepping up to fill the void will play a part, also meaning those who would be key in the 18s are with the 21s making the 18s raw to that age group nature if academy football you can be shit hot one year the next poor cause of the quick turnover in players, although it’s common under Sheron for slow starts then improve rapidly it seems, probes plays a part in why the 21s are in 5/6 competitions to get the minutes out and the younger ones some experience at the higher level to settle them quicker. obviously these levels are about development but some silver would have been nice by now to show for it, over last decade or so both age groups have reached finals and high league positions. At acct other week against Lyon the 21s despite losing 2-0 were worthy of the win
