A pretty mixed performance there , Braiden ‘s class standing out throughout . While it cost us the game , playing football from the back instead of hoofing it up to Okoronkwo and Sherif is for me more preferable, particularly with Morgan and Graham up there.

I still think Gomez is one of the more promising players on our books. A step above others physically and a tireless runner. Good technique striking a ball as well

The right back looked a good player too

I think he probably has the best engine on the U21 side, but shades of Doucs, seems to struggle with distribution/final third. He’s made leaps and bounds in the past few months though, looked like a chicken running with its head cut off the first few appearances last year.

Hes come on a lot in 6 months which is why I find him promising/fascinating. He's had a football upbringing that has probably never been seen before in our academy or in general and probably why he's prone to a few moments of headlessness.

If he can put it together then he's just going to be a bundle of energy in the Gueye/Kante mould as he gets older. Not to say he will reach those heights but more on playstyle comparison. Makes a difference to our usual central midfielder archetype

I can see your reasoning there Francis. Players from humble backgrounds can be the ones who train on best as their dedication is higher. Obviously he has a lot of holes in his game to iron out so it will be interesting checking his progress going forward

It's the tournament where we had to piece it together ourselves.

Robert scored the pen and Moses is on the pitch. Seve in goal

No idea, on my iPad it’s too far away to pick out individuals but Robert for penalty
