Under 23's are away at Stoke tonight.

Silva and Drager are both playing, as is Cafu; surprisingly no Fernandez, Harbottle, Hammond and Gibson Hammond

Bad Cafu!

I'm sure there was a flagellation emoji...

Ended up losing to a late Stoke goal

Anything about to say how Drager and Silva played?

 

[the jock]

No ojeda either?

What a pointless signing silva was

Interesting that Drager is playing LB. Can see him on bench instead of Bong very soon. Maybe last time we see Cafu also.

The U23s lost to a late goal against table topping Fulham last night.

I have not seen any reports of how we played yet but will post details as they become available.

Hope that's not an omen for tomorrow. I've been watching some of these games on You Tube, and several of these lads really look the business

Top class commentary, all 30 seconds of it

The game ended 2 all after Kenneth Zahore scored twice for the Smethwick based pond life.

Smith saved a penalty at 2 - 1 and, despite missing numerous chances in the last 10 minutes, we could not get the winner.

A bit of commentary would have been nice seeing how everyone is so far away I can't see who is who.

This game and some others are unavailable in Ox, don't know why but it's bloody annoying.
Thanks for the try though.

 

[Polly 433]

1 min 50 secs on clock and 2 - 0 down.

The U23s lost 2 -1 against Middlesbrough tonight in the PL Cup

17 year old Dale Taylor is on the bench for Norn Ireland nil tonight, in the WC qualifier against Lithuania

Taylor coming on for the last 13 minutes

U23 game v Burnley has been cancelled and rearranged for Friday. The U23 are also due to play a very good Blackburn team on Monday 13th. Tutu was rumoured to play in one of them. Can’t see him being risked for both. With two games so close together can see some fringe players getting a run out. Maybe Benito if paperwork completed.
