FA Youth Cup tonight vs Everton

[JackanorySFC]

Seems like we have a strong side out, a family friend I know is playing and it seems the "big guns" from the U21 squad are being brought in tonight vs Everton. £5 on the gate (£3 concessions). I've watched us a few times in the youth cup, always a decent night and an opportunity to see some future talent.

As long as they are U18s that seems like a good idea.

Cortese should just let him pick the team and not interfer imo

Lost two nil.

I wonder if Dodd and Cortese will have a 'chat' this week?

I just don't understand why they need to bolster the team with u21 players and JWP who is first team squad. The u18s worked as a unit to get the title in their division. Why break up the unit?

[Dellman]

Its because NC picks the team

Agteed. Disrespectful to the lads who got us this far as well.

I went along, thought we were generally very poor , far too lightweight in midfield and up front , physical Everton side bossed it and we never really troubled their keeper. disappointing really was looking forward to a good cup run. no one really stood out as having potential.

I went as well and Everton played 4 5 1 and we were outnumberered in midfield and had 4 defenders marking one lump up front. We could not make a pass in the final third and any finishing and crossing was woeful. The ref had a shocker - we moved in on goal and out forward was body checked by the last defender and he waved it away.
