I kind of enjoyed it. Their 2 nd goal was proper comedy. I think the side chosen was because the proper side played on Sunday and several are on call to boost the stricken first 11. Better to field an established side rather than mix and match. They put up a decent show. |

I’m going to dare to suggest a bit of balance here. I know we want to focus on the bad news but..
As has been pointed out well elsewhere, it’s almost the norm for clubs like us to have long injury lists. Plus, is there another side to the story. Tempting fate here, but what about the ones who haven’t been injured but might have been on past history, eg Clarke- Salter and Charles? Also, is it just me or has Dembele’ recovery been managed particularly well? There may be others. |

I watched today’s game on the stream. Very odd. First half we were brilliant. Some lovely football and loads of goalmouth action at their end. Second half, we were totally outplayed for long periods. Still weirdly enjoyable though. |

I watched online. One noteworthy thing is how the team clearly follow the playing style of the first team. Of course they don’t have Charles, Edwards etc, but at times they did a passable impersonation! Game was close for most of the first half and their heads didn’t drop until number 4 went in. I thought it was encouraging in many ways given the line up. |

Ended up 4-1
Very entertaining game.
Kolli played all the second half. Couldn’t fault effort / attitude. Couple of attempts on goal. Good clearing header from a corner etc etc.
Should be in the squad next Saturday. Please!
Hopefully positive clarifications on Fans Forum. It was a joy to see his familiar deceptive style, all be it against weaker opponents.
Noticeably performance of team dropped when the other subs came on, but overall a good team performance. |

Half time
Three up
Sutton 2 and Wright
What’s clear is that the DS model is to mirror the first team., right down to kicking straight out of play from the kick off!
So the keeper, Salomon today has to copy Charles. Making a pretty good stab at it. One good save. Could have been sent off giving away a penalty but it was off side.
All the defenders were calm in possession. I like Friel at right back
Alemayehu mainly strolling around in the middle of the park.
As I suspected Sutton standing out. |

As I’ve got my DSquad season path!? I volunteer to report live from Wiltshire.
And the news is
Kolli is named as a sub
Also Alemayehu, fresh from first team duty, starts.
Also Esquerdinha plays and Sutton, very much the forgotten man with Scarlett moved up that pecking order. |

As a chap with clearly too much time on his hands I’ve paid for a season’s pass to watch the Devs and the ladies games. So far it’s great fun! Game v Huddersfield just finished. Lost 3-1.
Observations..
Clearly plan is to model the first team..playing out from the back etc. when it works it’s very pleasing on the eye
The current bunch have plenty of skill but are pretty young with most of the better players on loan or moved on. The keeper Warren looks promising but the stand out player was Sutton ( remember him?!) loads of skill and great attitude.scored the goal.
Final score was a little harsh I felt. Bigger boys came!
What amused me was the audible coaching.. reminds me of when I coached the Under 9’s. Especially the helpful bellowing out of a countdown whenever their keeper had the ball at a restart. |

I watched it but to be honest it’s pretty hard to follow! I’d say he had a good run out! Actually a fun game to watch with lots of similarities to first team in approach to the game which I found encouraging! |

I decided to push the boat out and fork out £30 to watch the DS and ladies for the season. ( too much time on my hands?)
On last nights showing will be fun!
I like the idea of knowing who someone is when a mysterious sub appears on the list.
Very hard to gauge how strong the opposition was..they actually looked really good in patches, as did we. The difference was more of our efforts went in..and they had a few near misses.
One thing..a refreshing watch..no play acting, loads of skill, loads of effort, several howlers. All in all great fun. |
