U/23 v West Ham United

[Mr. MUJAC]

Team: Vitek, Jurado, Fernandez, Mengi, Hardley, Svidersky, Forson, Wellens, Hugill, Mather, Elanga

Subs: Hoogewerf, Polakowski, Norkett

Looks like only three subs taken down and Daniel Polakowski back from his loan spell with Oldham.

15 mins gone and we are 0-1 down after conceding a penalty after five minutes.

Injured.

Injured.

Thank you brother.

Strange not to see Iqbal or Shoretire. Iqbal did take a knock against Atalanta, so I assume that's the reason. No idea about Shoretire though.

 

[Kramer]

Injured.

Any idea what kind of injury it is and how long he’ll be out?

Seems to have been out for quite some time already.

Not sure but he last played against Arsenal on the 11th September...so six weeks out so far.

40 mins gone and United now 0-2 down.

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

West Ham score a third on the stroke of half-time.

Looks like a bad day at the office for the reserves.

0-3

 

[El Zoido]

4-0 after 47 minutes now, hat-trick for Oko-Flex, including two penalties.

No Shoretire, no party.

5-0 fernandez sent off

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

Full Time at West Ham and Radek Vitek's debut in goal was one to forget as the score finished 0-6!

That's our biggest defeat since losing 4-7 to Newcastle United just after Munich in March 1958 and our largest margin defeat since the 0-8 reverse versus Aston Villa in November 1945.

Have to remember it's a young team and they will learn.

Unusual to lose by that much unless there was a card early. Wonder what happened.

I haven't seen the game naturally - but when you see Fernandez, Mengi, Hardley and Jurado as the back-4 - you aren't exactly filled with confidence defensively.

3-0 at half time but I’d say the match was a lot closer than that suggests. A penalty, a corner, and a deflected shot which Vitek tipped in off the post.

Wellens hit the post and Hugill skied on from 5 yards out. Fernandez and Elanga had some moments going forward. But we always look so open through the middle. Vitek is also a great shot stopper but dreadful with his kicking.

At least they’re training to fit right in with the first team then!
