Yea, I felt like both our wingers in Williams and Sharpe did nothing of note and Fletcher had a good game.

Very impressed on how the academy team is been coached, doesn't matter what team they put out, they all play the same way. The technical and tactical level is far greater than any academy team I've seen before.
Not sure how many will have a future at the club but there's so many that have a fighting chance to make it.

That’s fair.
I guess I can see why you havent been impressed with Kamasson too. Defensively he was beat, he did ultimately have a mediocre or poor effort from the really nice bit of play I mentioned before and he's had a few crosses that werent very good

McAllister getting a bit too comfortable flying in with tackles gives away a penalty. Not sure if he got the ball but its taking a chance flying in inside your own box

McAllister gives away a penalty. Went too easily to the ground. I don't think he needed to make that tackle there.

He can't complain about that one - that is a penalty. Really dumb tackle

We get a penalty now. Looks like it was outside the box?

Kamason has been shocking today - so unusual by his normally very good standards

Arsenal U18 6-0 up against West Ham after 50 minutes - and West Ham are 2nd in the table, ahead of Arsenal :)

4-1 Williams. Brilliant finish after Scanlon’s ridiculous ball to the left.

That sums up Williams today. Poor first touch but it worked out and finishes it bottom corner

Too easy for Scanlon this. Picks out Williams who cuts in and drives it in low.

His ball striking from long passes to crosses, to his 2nd goal from just entering the edge of the box has been on another level. Certainly looks U21 level

Anyone not picking Scanlon as MOTM should find a new sport :)

Looks already better than Ennis to me. Ennis is way too much head down running.

4-2. Don’t know if it’s concentration or what but we’ve seen this sloppyness with the ball throughout the afternoon. Kingdon this time loses the ball and Stoke capitalise.

Kingdon poor concentration - seen that from half the team today. Lapsed for a moment and his touch got away and then didnt back in to stop the Stoke player heading the ball in for their 2nd

Need to stop leaking goals else there could be a comeback

I almost had a heart attack when the commentator said that was Thwaites coming on. He looked 4 inches taller than the rest of our players. It was Armer

Again... Is the angle not there for this cameraman to show the play down the near right corner ??

I know it's hard to project but how many of these boys have a chance of making the first team? The fa youth cup loss is a real mystery.

As a Welsh United fan I was intrigued by the signing of Biancheri - how good is he for those who watch regularly?
