If this isn't at least 4-0 to Chelsea I'll be massively surprised

Jesus, aimless long ball after long ball 

Their commentary team are taking the piss out of how we’re playing .....

[lcfcell]

This is rough 

[st albans fox]

Took their keeper 20 mins to get a touch and that was a goal kick !

 

I guess our squad are v stretched by the boys with the first team ...

Nice to see Mitch Clark playing. He's the potential to be the next James Justin type IMO

So all I've seen for the first 25 minutes is him playing long balls. He looks like he's massively regressed.

I am concerned how it’s not really clicking with them that hitting balls long to Reghba when he has three plus players surrounding  him is not going to work.

Really interested to hear the coaching staff shouting, it's as if the game plan is to simply kick and rush and try to win the second ball. 

 

They're going mad at some elements of play but are quite encouraging for the hopeless long ball.

That's Beaglehole for you, his style of football is an abomination but you aren't allowed to question it because Barnes and Chilwell have come through.

The midfielders just don’t have a role in this system, they are bypassing them when going forward, not pressing at the front. Just terrible to watch.

After all of this criticism we're going to some how shithouse a win here arn't we?

When we said we wanted the U23s to play in the style of the first team, this isn't what we meant.

He looks like he’s carrying too many pounds which won’t help his back (I know from experience)

 

The boy will need to work bloody hard to keep in shape to make it ..... does he have that in him ???

Can't imagine he is overweight if he has been training with the first team, just a stocky lad

Yes he’s stocky but that’s a problem for him IMO .... there aren’t many maradonnas in history 

 

[st albans fox]

Amazing how much our bench are having to coach the players during the game ... it’s like we can’t play without being told every movement !

There's some very inexperienced players out there mind. Just doing some research on the players and.... Well I can't find anything on some of them!

 

It's a batisim of fire it seems.

There are some players like Xherdan Shaqiri, Ryan Fraser, and even Under where they have a similar build

 

As long as he is still quick, having a stronger upper body could actually help him out

1-0 Chelsea, good build up from them for the goal

We were really under the cosh for the first half an hour. Then the bench began to start really shouting at the boys and they got a foothold in the game.

I understand that but he’s only 18 and he looks to be too built up top ........ you can have loads of talent but unless you’re a freak (ala maradonna) then your body shape may make the decisions for you re a football career ....

 

I watch my youngest playing a decent level at U10’s and see some really talented kids ......but you just know that some of them will simply grow to be the wrong shape to make it and there’s nothing they can do about it

Goooooal! 1-1, Tyrese Shade buries the ball into the bottom corner with a simple finish after the Chelsea defence mess up clearing the ball

Chelsea should be 2-1 up, header from a corner cleared off the line brilliantly by Hulme
