2-3 Bower thunderbolt.1

Small mistakes is we cNnot put I'm accurate long passes or win one on one situations.
They are given the ball by us and break quickly. 3 or 3 passes and they are in the area.0 -
This game has not been boring whatever else.1

Game over finished 2-33

Only saw first half where we missed/their keeper saved well four or five good chances.
We were far too open when they broke but so were they.
Abdulmalik was at the heart of everything they did. One to look out for.
We missed Kanu's lethal finishing but this is called the development league for a reason.
A lot of our other regulars such as Eleware, Bakrin, Hobden, Laqeretabua, Dench missing or out on loan.1 - Sponsored links:

We thought the lads were outstanding for most of the first half & wondered how long they'd be able to continue at that pace/skill level. The movement off the ball, accurate passing & momentum was a sight to behold ...and we've watched a fair few U21 games over past seasons. Every one of our lads played their part in a superb team performance.
I did wonder whether heads might drop after their 2nd goal just before half time & felt that Rylah in particular lacked some of his zest & urgency in the 2nd half. But a great strike from Bower lifted them again.
If we'd managed to go ahead with a couple of goals in the first 30 mins or so of the match, as we threatened to do, then I feel the boys in blue might have found it far more difficult to raise their game accordingly...But this was Millwall.
As Henry stated, this IS a development league & as such, every appearance adds to our lads' experience.
We should be proud of each & every one of them and the springboard that's their starting point...
Our Academy.

Given our problems sourcing decent cover for left back is Bower ready to play maybe in the JPT or FA Cup?0

Thought Santos was still contracted to us which makes a bucket collection for him a bit unusual. Must be a bad injury. Sad for the lad.

We exercised an option back in May so yes he’s still contracted to us.Athletico Charlton said:Thought Santos was still contracted to us which makes a bucket collection for him a bit unusual. Must be a bad injury. Sad for the lad.

Reading his story, your heart goes out to him. He won't have been the first nor the last, of course.Scoham said:Billy French on his time at the club, he was released in the summer:

The passage regarding playing with the fear of the injury recurring is very real and the mental damage it causes.
There were some who didn't seem to grasp what Chuks has been going through - maybe the relevant part of this article will help with understanding that.

Good luck to Billy French. He deserves it!2

Shame about the defeat but good to see Toure is back. I may have missed his name on earlier games but think he has been injured recently and seems to not have had a lot of luck of injuries for a couple of years.
It's a tough learning curve for the U21s this year with so many of those eligible either out on loan or in our first team. They will learn a lot from it I hope.
Swansea had Kyle Naughton and Ollie Cooper (Welsh international) playing amongst others.1 -
