Tshibola looked good when on the ball but not great off it. Fulham's number 10 seemed to be the best player on the pitch. Thought Clark was really poor at RB. He looked like he was not up for it at all. He kept losing his man and he was in no rush to run back. Overall pretty poor showing with Fulham looking the much better side. Clark was playing out of position, he's naturally a centre back, I thought he did ok against Jordan Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very weird. I hear he is out of contract soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 9, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2018 He's still one of the youngest in the squad, and 3rd youngest of the regular starters (behind Bedeau & Knibbs). So he may have time on his side. He is usually a centre back but he has been employed at RB in the past too so he's not completely out of position there. Maybe just a bad day at the office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Our U23s are in action for the second time in four days later this evening when they take on Sheffield United at Hednesford Town's Keys Park. The match, which kicks-off at 7pm, is a re-arranged Premier League Cup tie that was called off due to a frozen pitch at the end of November. Matija Sarkic and Jake Doyle-Hayes are both due to start against the Blades as our Young Lions look to bounce back from the 3-1 loss to Fulham U23s on Monday night. We currently sit second in Premier League Cup Group E, three points adrift of leaders Ipswich Town. Kevin MacDonald's side beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 in their Cup opener back in September, and face the Baggies and Sheffield United away as well as Ipswich at home after tonight's encounter. The top two teams advance to the knockout stage. It's free entry for season ticket holders at Keys Park this evening, or £4 for adults and £1 for U16s. https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/01/11/u23-preview-as-young-lions-return-to-cup-action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 11, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2018 1-0 up through Harvey Knibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 11, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2018 3-0 at the end, Clarke and Cox with the other two goals and an hour for Andre Green. Good stuff. I think that might put us top of our group, at least temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Watching it on Southampton's facebook feed. We have looked really good. Green is obviously far too good for this level. Tshibola looked really good until he gave it away for their goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 15, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'd forgotten this one. Watching now. Green got the first goal, who got the other two? Thsibola and a penalty from McKirdy apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 16, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2018 Stats updated. That McKirdy is becoming a bit of an animal isn't he? Goals and assists out the wazoo recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 16, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2018 It also appears as though there were no substitutions made by us yesterday. Which is quite odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 16, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2018 I guess he was saving them for tonight BOF. Two reserve games in four days in the run up to an FA Youth Cup game is quite a pressure on these young legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
