Reserves, Academy and Ladies 2018-19

[Larry Duff]

The youth team beat top of the table West Ham at Bodymore today 1-0 with a late goal from Colin Odatayo.
A very good game that could have gone either way and I must admit I thought West Ham would probably nick it at the death.
Just shows how much age matters at youth level. Last year this Team were basically an U17 Team playing a year above their age group. They hardly won a game, but a year on, they are doing very well against Teams the same age.
Some good kids in this Team.

All over, won 1-0 Knibbs with the goal.

Wasn't a particularly great game but we had a few good chances from what I saw.  As is almost expected now I was very impressed with Jack Clarke again, just seems to be good at everything you'd expect from a central midfielder, no fireworks or hollywood passing, just moves the ball well, has great control, defends solidly and works his bollocks off.  He's got a decent shot on him as well, I'd be working him into the squad soon to get him some game time.

You must be proud mate. Hopefully see him in the first team one day.

I most definitely am. I am sure we will.

Good performance, so far.

Live on you tube. O'Hare very impressive.

[paul_e]

Good performance, so far.

Bit of a hammering 3-0 with 5 mins to go unti lhalf time and we've missed 2-3 really good chances as well.

The first from Cox was a lovely goal, moved the ball really well, the other 2 were, in my opinion, as much due to poor defending and goalkeeping as good play, we're miles better than them and it shows.

4-0 now

[Clampy]

I'm not watching it but whenever I've seen Jordan Cox, he looks like he could be the next one to break through.

[TheMalandro]

Knibbs good assist for fourth. Agree about Cox.

[paul_e]

4-0 now, cox, taylor, o'hare x2 and half time.

Their centre half has just rugby tackled o'hare to stop him getting away, only yellow (which was probably fair) but it sums the game up, they've been chasing shadows.

I'm not watching it but whenever I've seen Jordan Cox, he looks like he could be the next one to break through.

I like Cox but I'm not sure what type of player he is yet. I've said a few times that Jack Clarke is my pick and I think he's been excellent again tonight, nothing spectacular but just does everything well.

[dave shelley]

5-0 hatrick for O'Hare.
