The U21s are in a must win situation against Man U U21s today at 7pm, I believe entry at SMS is free and probably firstrow will have a link, chance to see some of the young guns and Lee will probably play as well
@officialsaints on Twitter: "We'll have confirmed teams nearer to kick off, but the squad for tonight's Under-21 game against Manchester United is as follows: Chambers, Cropper, Curtis, Forte, Hoskins, Johns, Lee, Mayuka, Reeves, Sinclair, Stephens, Targett, Turnbull, Ward-Prowse, Young."
Only Saints could have a goalie with the name "Cropper" I predict that Mayuka will be on the bench and will make the warm-up area in front of the Itchen his very own yet again.
Mayuka's in the squad? Interesting. Either we're putting him in because we really want to win this game and feel he can give us the edge, or he's slipping even further out of first-team contention...
Or because he is on the bench recently but Nigel hasn't brought him on as much as he might have wished to, so to keep his match fitness up wants to give him a run-out?
we have to win the last two games to enter the elite stage, why Lee, Mayuka and JWP are in the squad- but **** knows why Forte is there if thats the idea
Starting Line-Up: Cropper; Young, Stephens, Turnbull, Targett; Ward-Prowse, Chambers, Reeves (c); Mayuka, Hoskins, Lee. Substitutes: Johns (GK), Curtis, Sinclair, Moore, Forte.
Manchester United: Johnstone; Vermijl, McGinty, Thorpe, Fornasier; Tunnicliffe, Cole, Petrucci; Henriquez, Macheda, Lingard. Substitutes: Veseli, Pereira, Lawrence, Ekangamene, Bebe.
So.... its free entry tonight to watch the Reserves. But.... it will be £30 entry in January to watch the Reserves.
Watching the stream and the Man U presenters clearly haven't done their homework. Mayuka was spelt as 'Majuka' and they described Lee as being Chinese.

34 mins gone. Pretty average. No lack of effort from Saints, but not created anything. United had clearer chances, but nothing on target thus far. Nothing to show from Mayuka & Lee so far.
