Well that was great fun! Much more enjoyable than first team games and a fully deserved win in the end. Where is the final?
I'd like to able to give a player-by-player analysis of the U-21s tonight, but I'm hampered by not knowing who was who in all cases. Anyway, a few bullet points.... Shepperd was very good in goal Esquerdinha looked decent without being outstanding The CBs were pretty good, but got pulled out position now and then. Alfie Tuck was tidy Morgan was probably our best player Bennie and Sutton were threatening on the wings Kolli was poor The Irish lad who replaced Kolli was quick and looked to have something about him. Overall, a good win and some decent performances, but none of them really looked ready to command a starting place in the first team. A really enjoyable evening.
Brentford v Southampton is tonight in the other semi and apparently the final is on the ground of the winner of that. Would be tempted to go but can’t see when the final is meant to be unless it’s not been announced yet. Potentially a fine chance to tick off the new Brentford Lego box as we aren’t playing there in the league any time soon.
Hope it's Brentford. I'll definitely go if it is. I've been to the new Brentford stadium to see London Irish. It's a nice little ground, handily situated for some good pubs.
Yeah I went to tick it off when they played Sheffield Wednesday. Done a great job considering the footprint and hurdles they had to overcome compared to most new grounds.
I think Brentford U21's play their home games at Wheatsheaf Park, which is where Staines Town play. Hopefully they'll move it to Brentford's ground.
Met many a good midget over the years ............besides, they look up to people who treat them equally.
