Enjoy watching the professionalism of the youngsters in our Academy - we seem to 'manage' games really well overall have a maturity to our performances which often eclipses that of our opponents. I think it's those sort of things which allows the club to blood them in the first team so easily as they have that level of refinement to the way they approach the game.

Just back from the game - Sam McQueen the stand out player for me, looked a level above the rest on both teams. Our boys were all very technically good and well organised but looked a bit lightweight compared to the opposition. Good game, could easily have been 3 or 4 goals for us.

I watched the second half on youtube and was really impressed with a few of them. As mentioned above, Sims looks very promising and the composure will come with age and experience, I'd say. Seager has to get a few first team opportunities this season, surely. I think he has the potential to be a top player. Flanagan looked like a very accomplished right back and if he had to cover for Clyne, I wouldn't be too worried, although I think McCarthy is more likely to get the nod first. Every time I've seen McQueen play he looks a real talent. I don't understand why Isgrove has been picked ahead of him really. Gape also looks capable of stepping up if we're short of defensive midfielders without Morgan and big Vic, I'd say.

I think the average age of their team was a couple of years more than the average age of ours.
