Mazrim Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Lost. 1 - 0. We lacked control, lots of aimless long balls, poor decision making in the final 3rd, sloppy tackling. Looked tired and lacklustre over all. Pana looked very poor and just kept hitting us on the break but it worked so... Fair enough. You don't expect a lot of quality at this level but there wasn't any really.

useless Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Lost 1-0, tough first half, was basically their attack against our defence, did better second half, unlucky not to get an equalizer in the end, although could have scored another as well. They looked older and stronger than us, some of them looked like they could be playing U21, or even first team football, we sent a U15 squad, so they probably were older, also their 'gamesmanship' was ridiculous considering it's only a friendly tournament for development Today was a tough game, but Cronin-McGrath did well when he was able to get on the ball and has looked a very good in the other two games I saw, to be fair they all showed good promise at times, as you would expect, I think we will be seeing a number of them playing an age up for our U18s at some point next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, their ground time / playacting was ridiculous. Especially their captain - what a total fanny. The ghosts of Marathon would be breakdancing in their graves, Theseus would be vomiting in disgust and Themistocles would be rolling his eyes and tutting.

useless Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The tall player in midfield for us was Farid Addey, who was playing in a U14 tournament a month or so back, so despite looking like he could be playing for our U21s, he might actually be one of the younger players they took. Things didn't quite run for him today, but I think he's actually one of the highly rated ones, in aforementoned U14 tournament he looked very good, and was in one of the recent England U15 training camps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked how he pulled back that little git who ran off with the ball when we won a free kick. Time was running out and that was good awareness. I don't want to sound hard on them, and its all good experience. It was just a bit of a mess and disappointing to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I wouldnt be surprised to see us bring in Fenton Heard from West Brom as an Azaz style signing, out of contract in the summer, but a good player, and a Villa fan Kevin Mfuamba is another of theirs I've long thought could end up with us, kind of DM our academy teams have been missing whilst also being decent on the ball, he's a couple of years younger though, and under contract, so would cost a fee Iddrisa Amihere and and Max Jenner might be ones to look out for from their U16s too, maybe they will go elsewhere, but have a feeling we will making a number of first year scholar signings again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
