How did we get on on the U23 Denmark tour ?

No injuries I hope

At HT U23s winning 1-0 vs Norwich.

Opening game of their season and it is at the Besot/Banks' stadium.

Mooney scored on 36th - according to live text feed on the Meaning Evil.

2-0 now, Mooney again, penalty.

Mail feed says Gary Shaw and Chris Nicholl are watching from the Press box.

Villa's American midfielder on as a sub has an interesting name - Indiana Vassilev.

This bit from the OS answered a question I was thinking.

"A significant sub-plot from the game was who wasn't present, as much as who was. Steve Bruce is set to rotate for Tuesday night's Carabao Cup clash with Yeovil Town, where he's traditionally turned to our Young Lions and given them opportunities.

Of the regular U23 stars, Easah Suliman, Jake Doyle-Hayes and Harry McKirdy were absent – meaning they could well feature at some point at Huish Park."

Quite a good performance tonight with a young team.  Bit disappointing that Mich Clark won't be in the squad tomorrow.
Team was Sarkic in Goal - Clark, Bazeley-Graham, Bedeau, Revan.  Cox, Prosser, Clarke, Rowe. Mooney Knibbs.

Clark and Clarke looked several divisions better than the rest of the Team I would say.

I hope those two plus Jake Doyle-Hayes, Hepburn-Murphy, Andre Green, Callum O'Hare, Easah and Harry McKirdy are either loaned out or with the first Team Squad so don't get to play many reserve games this season.
If that is the case it will be a very hard season with a very young squad but the players mentioned need to progress this season and push for a first team place.  I reckon 5 of those players will make it to be at least regulars for a Championship level club.

I've said a few times, Jack Clarke is the one for me.  I like Bazeley-Graham as well.

Cam has fractured a toe on hard ground training but should be back in a week or so. His older brother Jordan should hopefully be involved in Bury's matchday squad this weekend.

U23s v ManUre this evening.

[Nelson Lodge]

From OS Twitter link. 1-1 at present. Mooney scored Villa equaliser.

[paul_e]

Harry McKirdy stretchered off just before half time though, sounds like a bad one.

[Larry Duff]

In answer to paul_e, I really like watching Jack Clarke play and He has improved enormously in the last four years but a lack of pace I fear, will hold him back.  I hope I am wrong and I think He will make it at lower league level but if you are not a physically strong player you have to have exceptional talent to play in the top two divisions.
As for Bazeley-Graham I am not confident He will play above non league level.  He did have a bad injury last year and missed most of the season though.

In my opinion the best player to come through the youth system since Jack Grealish is Mitch Clarke (just edging out Callum O'Hare)  He had a great debut for Port Vale yesterday playing out of position at left back.
MOM in a national newspaper and the vale fans were very impressed by him.
