It’s Solly he’s an Arsenal fan , scored two og’s2

Wait a minute ............
"Lee Bowyer split his team up, playing two different 11s in each half."
That's 2 different games we lost today.
The first game was only 2-0; wearing my renowned rose-tinted specs, that's a decent scoreline against top class opposition, away from home.
The 2nd game, unfortunately finished in a 4-0 defeat, although not too bad a scoreline from our U23 development team.

Predictable scoreline for a League One outfit1

We were only 1-0 at half time in that game too before changes started getting made0 -
Could it be Toby Stevenson?2

Well that's not ideal.
Also, why wasn't this streamed? Given clubs are cash strapped, charge everyone a fiver, make a bit of money.1 -
I think they want these friendlies happening with as few people involved as possible hence no officials - So camera crew wouldn't have been allowed eitherSDAddick said:Well that's not ideal.

Ok makes sense I suppose. Can you have an automated single cam these days? I guess it depends on the set up. Either way, good point, point taken, might end up costing more than it brings in.ForeverAddickted said:

More about as few people put at risk of corona
Be bloody ironic if these first matches happen, dont mean anything yet result in more players testing positive so the actual season cant resume1 - Sponsored links:

Minutes playing is the important thing, and chasing Arsenal around the pitch would have been a good work out. We have only been doing contact football since Monday so not a surprise.0

Just checked the twitter accounts of those around us in the League and looks like no one else played today apart from Middlesbrough who had a in-squad training match2
-
The important facts after Bow's comments. No injuries, and enough fit players to field two different starting 11's. Those two things massively outweigh a pointless scoreline18

Injury free
Phew4 -
The thing is, if no one witnessed it, then it never happened -)ShootersHillGuru said:The big positive is that it could have been Palace that whacked us.5 -
Aston Villa 2-2 West Brom appears to be another match that happened (Daily Mail the source)ForeverAddickted said:Just checked the twitter accounts of those around us in the League and looks like no one else played today apart from Middlesbrough who had a in-squad training match0 -
The other factor about choosing Arsenal is that it'll have been a game where they'd have had the ball a lot more than our playersRossman92 said:The important facts after Bow's comments.

Thats going to happen a few more times this season (especially against Brentford and Leeds), players need to learn to be disciplined at keeping it tight and difficult for the opposition whilst holding position
Of course that didnt work today but we wont be facing too many more teams that have Champions League experience2 -
Anyone know what formation(s) we played?0

Good shout re Smith. Think you could be right.ForeverAddickted said:
Matt Smith perhaps? - Doesnt look like anyone in the U23s as dont have many blondesSage said:
Yes it is.ForeverAddickted said:Is that Page to the right of Lapslie... Be great if it is
Who is on the far right, yellow boots, blonde hair, next to Nketiah?
Its a small picture but looks a bit like Amos playing outfield
Amos was in goal second half as far as I know.2 -
Yeah its definitely Amos in goal in that pic... No.13Sage said:

There is a larger picture on the Arsenal website which shows him with the No.4 on his back so its either Stevenson or one of the other graduates
Luca Vega and Sam Keefe are the only defenders on the U23s list who are remotely blonde haired0 -
Not quite what I said, but well done you.PrincessFiona said:
Yes, none of them should play footballl, ever, so there is no chance of geting injured, Ever!!KentishAddick said:Obviously the main intention was to get minutes, but I can't see this helping us much. What's the odds on us getting at least 1 long term injury from this game?0 -
0-1-9 by the sounds of itTalal said:Anyone know what formation(s) we played?1 -
Very encouraging that Page seems to have come through unscathed. Really didn't think we'd see him in a cafc shirt again so hopefully he can play a part in games ahead.8

First Half Team:
Phillips
Matthews Oshilaja Pearce Purrington
Green Cullen Forster-Caskey McGeady
Aneke
Hemed
Two changes were made first half, Forster-Caskey and Cullen came off, Field and Morgan came on, I think?
