    Better get the new defence in sharpish, then.

    Wow. Almost "lessons learnt," hopefully not too late.

    Eleven might prompt an investigation.

    3 left footers in. A CB, LB & DM.

    Well I never. They must realise that relegation is upon us.

    I almost had the hissy fit of hissy fits just now, saw Senegal had beaten Zimbabwe and looked at the teams and saw Sarr in the 20 shirt, but it was a different Sarr

    Another young player lost to the big boys ?

    From Twitter

    “Chelsea sign talented 16-year-old centre back Travis Akomeah from Watford. Agreement reached and paperworks now signed”

    Liverpool and Bournemouth were pushing too but Akomeah's joining Chelsea.

    What's the point in having an academy if this is what happens? The FA (and we all know that stands for how much the Football Association care about football) should do something...

    I think if you come a Cat 1 academy that helps but it costs money and not sure how much difference it would make !

    True - no wonder he didn’t go there !

    I don't think they even have a proper training ground?

    It's just awful, Mark. We can't hold onto the talent we form, it's knicked, and then what's left is hardly likely to get into our full league squad because it's not good enough.

    And so we will attract even less quality as players won't come to us thinking they don't get a chance.

    STILL cant get over Bournemouth having the nerve to nick the Championship title at the death which we were entitled to.. many years ago now.
    Extraordinary- not even in the same league at present.
