Saved to start against Hammers

To be fair he's in better form than Watkins.

 

[Old Trinity Villan]

Nope

He has gone for a lie down. Its the most exercise he has had in ages.

Fair's fair if the commentators are moaning about Davis.

Playing him and not Traore/Sanson is still well within the true spirit of the competition given his age and experience. Hated nothing more than teams playing fucking seasoned senior internationals whilst babbling about how good it was for their youth players.

Been a decent performance this for me, bit slow and sloppy at points, but that'll happen, clearly the side on top and again, they have made us work for it.

4-2 now. Archer with his second.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Archer!!! BULLSEYE

 

[mike_field]

Fabulous goal.

 

[Moose66]

Another cracking finish from Archer

 

[Fulford]

Great win

 

[McParlandTheGreat]

Another cracking finish from Archer

Our future number 1. Near future.

Would like to see more of Archer on the pitch in the first team. I think he’s class, he’ll make it at least at championship level, but I won’t jinx it for the lad and say any higher.

Cheltenham have beaten Chelsea U21s 5-4 on penalties after finishing 0-0 at FT.

 

[Moose66]

Was impressed with Irobegunum in midfield, gets stuck in, comfortable on the ball and a decent turn of pace

Read something on BBC a few weeks back where teams are signing veterans just to play in the U23s now.

Utd signed Paul McShane in the summer. He's 36.

With recent first team disappointments at Aston Villa, it was a change of pace again this evening as our Under 21 group looked to make it three Southern Group C wins on the spin in the EFL Trophy competition as we made the trip down to Stadium MK to face MK Dons.

To be fair there is a method in that. Its to teach the youngsters how to go about being a good pro and passing on advice via their experience in the game. There might be a few raised eyebrows if the play in the EFL Trophy.

Yeah, that was the reasoning behind it.

It's silly enough that Premier League clubs U21s are in the EFL Trophy, but playing senior players in it is taking the piss. They shouldn't be allowed.
