I'd be amazed if he didn't know that he shares the same surname (if not the exact same spelling) as one of the world's most notorious and biggest cvnts.

 

Yep, he might. But he may want to keep it quiet. I doubt his teammates are clued up on world affairs, but you never know.

only saw the u18s once this year, and we got thumped by forest, but Mugabi was one of the few that stood out in that night. pretty solid CD in the making, good to see some backbone coming through the academy instead of just pacey tricksters.

 

any tease into how these boys will be rated in FM13 btw MLG? :-)

Mugabi dominates despite Forest fire

Maybe 'world affairs' could be a new attribute for the 2014 version?

 

id rather see a player stupidity & tabloid headline generator rating put in, I've played a few lifetimes on football manager and never has one of my players made a sextape/****ed a granny/caught robbin in Oceana/set off fireworks in his bathroom etc.

Corby Moore and Ben Reeves (18 and 19 respectively) are also in the First Team squad.

 

Reeves played well when he came on against Millwall in the cup.He then immediately went out on loan for the rest of the season . I could see him making appearances this season.

From the sound of things, Forest weren't actually that good, but they were all about that Bamford lad who was bigger and better than everyone else. He's at Chelsea now, so I don't suppose Forest gained much from the win apart from the million or so Chelsea paid them. It would be like our youths playing with one our senior strikers up front. They'd win games, but they'd end up taking the striker for granted and playing quite lazily. We'll have the last laugh for sure when we get Shaw, JWP, Chambers etc into our first team.

 

On a side note, anyone know when we announce the next lot of graduates?

neither side was great, doddsy himself said it was our worst performance of the season, Shaw & Mugabi were our two best players on the pitch imo, it was a while ago tho. but bamford was incredible, £1mill is a bargain for him, one if his goals was a 35 yard screamer, best goal i saw at sms all season. and I was at the derby game.

 

just checked match report on the os and it appears we have less than 900 non plastic fans

Not sure about Moore but Reeves is with the development squad while the first team is away at the moment. Barnard, Forte, Dickson, Hoskins are also training with the development squad.

Thought this deserved a bump. The lads all did well yesterday, I thought.

 

Luke Shaw looked very composed against a very good Anderlecht side, not phased at all. Made some good passes out defence.

 

Calum Chambers probably had the most difficult job in a very rusty side and up against Anderlecht's Kanu. Not afraid to mix it though and put in some good tackles.

 

Jack Stephens looked very solid against an admittedly young Arsenal side. However, he had Gervinho in his pocket for most of the game - one tackle in particular. A slightly naive tackle in the build up to their goal, but quality nevertheless.

 

JWP looked born to the role in what appeared to be a 4-2-3-1 formation. Very involved and at least equal to, if not better than, any of the Arsenal midfielders.

 

Future's bright for these lads. Be interesting to see if they get run-outs against Ajax and Udinese, who will be much bigger tests.
