Under 21s (Match updates and news)

Scoham

No Hobden or Wales either, so a lot of players who could be with the first team tonight.

Callumcafc

Decent number of names I’ve never seen before in that team

JaShea99

Surely this isn’t really a rain delay?!

Barnsley playing with their shirts inside out. Presumably didn't realise that we play in red.

JaShea99

Finally started.

Any clue on the trialists?

Amissah who they named on X in the lineups must be one of them.

16’ GOALLLLLLLLLL | WE’RE AHEAD 🤩

Paris Lock threads a perfect pass in behind the Barnsley defence for Reuben Reid to run onto, finding the back of the net with a tidy finish👏

Scoham

Looks like the trialists are a left back called Sheaf and a left winger called Mills.

Ben Sheaf, was in Southampton Academy up until the summer. Not to be confused with the namesake CDM who played for Coventry.

Management were ruthless in replacing two-thirds of our successful first team from last season. Now they are doing the same with the u21s.

Onwards and upwards!

There's an 18 year old Ben Sheaf who's a left back last at Southampton. 

Mills could be a left winger from Brighton under 21s

JaShea99

1-1

Decent result considering half our team seem to be in Cambridge

Agreed. I make it we had 13 more "regular"  u21s not playing, so a complete u21 reserve team today.

Especially as we couldn't see their shirt numbers

Seydil Toure who we released this summer has joined FK Viagem, a 2nd tier Czech side.

He has Czech and Senegalese roots, so perhaps came about through family connections.

I wish him luck. Injuries ruined his career with us.

Either that or he's got a Czech mate...

3 of the side that started the game 5 hours ago on the bench tonight.

The Reid brothers and Trialist B (number 4) picked out.

Worth following this account and his Substack as he shared thoughts on some of our academy games last season too

msomerton

For me Jacob Safa was the pick of our players, in a hard fought game.
1-1 was a fair result to both teams performances.

Sheff Utd at Bramall Lane, 7pm.

They sometimes stream from the live section of their YouTube channel so worth checking this evening:

Yes, it seems to be available here:

... and on other streams on YouTube, too. Hopefully, at least one of them  will do the job.

United usually a strong U21 side and have done well in the northern section of this league in recent years.

There first team is in a bit of a mess however and this may impact on their selection.

With no league cup game our side should look a bit older and stronger than Tuesday but it will be a tough test IMHO.

Will try to catch at least some of the stream.
