[ 8 Nov 16 ] West Brom U23s v GILLS Match Thread (cup)

[Garawa]

A WIN! Ends 9 games without one! A CLEAN SHEET! Ends a record 28 without one. Can't get excited though, it was litterally men against boys and we commanded the whole game by the sounds of it. How exactly is this providing experience for the national side?

West Brom's side tonight:

Palmer (20 years of age)
Wilson (16)
Fitzwater (19)
Donnellan (20)
McCourt (18)
Sweeney (19)
Harper (16)
Nabi (17)
Elbouzedi (18)
Bradley (17)
Forss (17)
Pierce (17)
Pritchatt (19)
Soule (-)

How ironic then that it was a fantastic strike from a 17 year old not languishing in some Premier League academy with no hope of ever getting a first team game but one pushing for a first team start at a smaller club. Proof that players like Oldaker are better at lower leagues than playing in a match in front of 150 fans, many of whom are relatives!

A good result,and nice to keep a clean sheet.We have to not get carried away though as we were up against a very young WBA side.I do hope we can take some confidence from it into Saturday.Hopefully this will be the only time we come up against a B Team.

Lol, I am sacred I would not be able to drive on the wrong side of the road, nearly killed me and half of Singapore last time we were there, lol.
We have got huge demonstrations going on downtown against Trump, welcome to the Third World of the USA, now were on par with African countries at election time, well done Donald Trump, you have been elected less than 16 hours and already the riots are starting.

Whilst agreeing that we shouldn't get carried away, it is worth looking at the number of players we used during the game who were under 21. Mighty oaks from little acorns and all that nonsense.
