Patino and Hutchinson remain the most impressive players. Kirk and Osei-Tutu have also had good moments. Richards needs to get into the game a bit more but he's plugging away. Edwards not been great, and Bandeira doesn't look sharp.
Literally spent a nandos combo to watch a ball get kicked around, you couldn't find an illegal stream mate?Currently about to watch our U23s vs Bromley. I was gonna go to the match but I had plans that were cancelled last minute, so I bought a £10 stream to watch instead like the **** I am
Lineup looks tasty tbf
Ejeheri,
Osei-Tutu, Kirk, Rekik, Jeffcott,
Patino Bandeira,
Sagoe Jr Hutchinson Richards
Edwards
Nope. I would have spent more anyway as I was planning to go. Bromley's down the road from me.Literally spent a nandos combo to watch a ball get kicked around, you couldn't find an illegal stream mate?
We're starting to play good football. Ibrahim (Patino's replacement) looks very secure on the ball and physically capable. Cozier-Duberry's dribbling and use of the ball is extremely impressive. Salah-Eddine is on the pitch and using the ball well. Richards had initially come off, but came back on and looks much better - he started on the wing, now he's playing #9.
Ryan Garry is filling in while they continue the search, Kevin Betsy (England U18s) was linked with it a few weeks back. Could see Garry just given the job.@MutableEarth thanks for the match report, your knowledge of the youth teams is phenomenal. Out of interest, was there any news or hints about Bould's replacement and who will coach the U23's this year?
Nothing to add to @Gooner416 post - there's been no news so I'm guessing they'll just give it to Garry if they don't like anyone else for it. He's been at the club for a long time and gone through the ranks, backing up Ampadu, Ljungberg and Bould respectively. It would be nice to see what he's got and what he's taken from all 3 men.@MutableEarth thanks for the match report, your knowledge of the youth teams is phenomenal.

Sagoe was OK, just didn't quite look like making a dent in the Bromley defence. His dribbling was good though. Bandeira also had his good moments but most of the time he looked like a player who hasn't played football for months!Looks like Duberry could be a star. You could just tell that he thinks a step or two ahead the moment I watched him play against Aston Villa. Just love intelligent players with good movement, footwork and technique on the ball.
I am guessing Sagoe didn't play that well? Good to here that Patino and Hutchinson are looking good, even if it's still just pre-season. Expecting a big season from both at U23 level.
Hopefully Patino stays healthy. I will cut Bandeira some slack as he just came back from an injury not too long ago.
Cheers for sharing. The Sun broke the Kevin Betsy rumours and have been pretty consistent. There is nothing much new in that article but they seem sure it's going to happen. Interesting reporting that Per took the role on a temporary basis.
