Thats a pretty embarrassing result considering the amount of players who have been in, or around our first team squad. Lewis, Valery, Ramsay, Vokins, Slattery, Hesketh & Tella all pretty experienced at that level and should be expected to do better.
I accept that a proper team may well beat a mixed bag like the U21s, but disappointed that it would be by so much. Do our players do any training or planning at all!
Who knew that we had the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei in our academy, from 2009-2013? I didn’t! Perhaps we should have kept him, with a view to his rich dad or uncle investing in the club. Actually, I expect we had a phone call from them, but hung up thinking it was Mickey Pierce (one for the Only Fools fans) https://bleacherreport.com/articles...iah-the-so-called-richest-player-in-the-world
Another player moving from my 1st team to my 2nd. Joining the illustrious Southampton to Doncaster pipeline with other talented names including; Jason Euell, Oscar Gobern, Simon Gillett and Billy Sharp. Sims is an oddity, to go from a very promising player who looked at ease against PL opposition at a young age, to then suddenly disappear and then re-emerge on loan to MLS and League One teams. Something seems to have gone wrong there me thinks.
I don’t think Sims ever really looked at ease against Prem opposition really. I think he had a moment against Everton, the break away at Anfield and a good half against Spurs.we all got a bit excited because he was an academy youngster.
Under 18's currently 5 up against Leicester City at half time. Sam Bellis 16, 43. Kazeem Olaigbe 23. Goran Babic 25. Jack Turner 45+1.
