Jacob; Hendrie, Blackett, McCullough, Giverin; Gorre, Rudge, Weir, Barmby; Van Velzen, Byrne..

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:05

Good save by Jacob early on.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:06

And another.

amolbhatia100 · 27th August 2011, 11:09

Could a river flow to me by any chance?

amolbhatia100 · 27th August 2011, 11:10

Oh there is it's been all along.

amolbhatia100 · 27th August 2011, 11:13

Ours corners are poor across the board I see!

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:15

0-1 own goal, nice work from Gorre.

Danish Wizard · 27th August 2011, 11:15

1-0 to United.. Own goal..
Kenji Gorre with the assist

amolbhatia100 · 27th August 2011, 11:17

Right, as usual my connection won't let this happen.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:21

Giverin saves McCullough's ass there.

voland · 27th August 2011, 11:28

I think I need a "I <3 Maciek" t-shirt

cheers!

Danish Wizard · 27th August 2011, 11:32

Wilson on for Rudge. (Injury)

Mistake,
It's Josh Harrop..

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:36

It's definitely Harrop, DW.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 11:39

1-1, very deserved equalizer.

1-1 HT. Southampton unlucky not to be in the lead.

Jacob by far our outstanding performer.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:06

Wilson on for Gorre.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:30

3-1 now. Some sloppy defending.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:36

3-2 Barmby, heavily deflected shot.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:37

Dally on for a positive but injured Wilson.

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:41

4-2, game over.

lysglimt · 27th August 2011, 12:44

We have a huge defensive problem - 2 very poor games in a row now

Blackett who impressed me last year looked almost uninterested today. Him and Giverin left huge gaps between them and we were lucky not to have lost by more goals!

Elliott · 27th August 2011, 12:52

Wilson on crutches

RedPhil1957 · 27th August 2011, 12:52

Not the most impressive performance from our lot in fact pretty poor and very disjointed. The ref was terrible and very one sided which did not help but that was no excuse.

Blackett must def accept his part of the responsibility for a few of the goals, but all in all he was our best defender and some of his indecisiveness in the second half was surely down to the early yellow. He was good going forward though. The other 3 were poor, and it's not a back 4 that fills you with confidence. Hopefully, Dalley can help the situation.

Credit to Southampton, they closed us down well all over the place and I wouldn't be surprised to see them go far in the youth cup. Sinclair Jr. looks like a gem.

PS18 · 27th August 2011, 14:00

Thought Tyler was poor - doesn't seem to suit playing in the centre, even though it was his original position. Definitely look shaky at the back but it's an inexperienced unit which got little protection from an even more inexperienced midfield so not a 'huge problem' or anything. Just more proof this is gonna be and up and down sort of season.

I agree with you - Southampton created SO much in that space between Giverin and Blackett - and that situation after 3 minutes when Blackett suddenly stopped and one of their strikers shot right at Jacob - not good.

We look like Arsenal - some neat passing, bad in defense and no end product up front

And to be honest - I don't think there will be too much up this season - there are some talented players for sure - but too many of these aren't ready for U18 football at the moment. So either they grow up quickly or we will have a mostly down-season

Keep in mind we were sans a handful of internationals today.

PS18, do you know anything about Wilson's injury?

PS18 · 27th August 2011, 23:20

Don't think it'll be a mostly-down season or we really need them to grow up quickly - it's just transition. We had a large intake two years ago that have just graduated (with honours), a small one last year that didn't go on to play too much but are the 'senior' guys now and lack the usual 'experience' you have from second years, and then a lot of new kids. Wasn't great today but I'm looking forward to watching them all season, think it'll be really enjoyable if there isn't too much emphasis put on results - there certainly won't be by the coaches.

Elliott - nothing official but Luke Giverin tweeted earlier that he thought it was just precautionary, so fingers crossed.

I also find it strange that we currently have so few strikers - it was a problem last year when we only had 2 recognized strikers in Keane and Cofie - this year - do we have any ?

Elliott · 28th August 2011, 08:35

There's Byrne and a couple of wingers/midfielders who can do a job up front™. So yeah, could be a problem.
