    Is striker Rylah’s position? Couple of times I saw him last year he was playing right mid 
    He’s played RWB and I think up front for the u21s this season but naturally a winger

    Whoops, Leaburn gives the ball away, but we manage to clear and get downfield.

    Chelsea Goalkeeper playing as a bit of a sweeper at the moment



    Have you ever seen a goal keeper so far forward at kick off?
    Especially one with a red ring round him. Surely our players will spot it soon?

    It's not available in the UK, you need to be overseas.

    I know Chelsea swarm their academy and I think they paid £15m for Washington, but they’ve really impressed me.

    Corner short, we can't make the most of it, Edun's cross/shot is collected by the keeper.

    Z Mitchell should be playing regularly .

    A real positive about REG is that he's very vocal on the pitch, can hear him loud and clear directing traffic. A real negative about REG is he must have the most annoying voice in the world

    Erk, Asiimwe gives the ball away under pressure, luckily Chelsea get done for offside shortly after.

    Nice bit of defending from Zach there.

    Probably the best Academy in the country with Man City

    Isnt going to be just the players, but the level of coaching they'll receive too - Seem to recall Burstow going there, and there being comments of how raw they felt he was

    I know we didnt do great against Gillingham in the Youth Cup last night, but if we did get Academy One status, then the likes of Chelsea would probably murder us for a few years.

    We'll be guaranteed to advance if we win tonight
    God help us

    Important game time for our younger players despite the strange dynamics of this competition.
    Even the older player have more time on the ball with less pressure.

    Taylor looks comfortable

    Hmm, Rylah looked like he was pushed over on the RH touchline, ref not bothered though. Nice spell of pressure from us though.

    If Taylor can play like this in the league he'll easily be our best midfielder.
  • Taylor best player on the pitch again

    Docherty down the right, goes round his man and wins us a corner from the RHS.
  • Chelsea youngsters are very strong on the ball, and we are losing too many 50/50 tackles...

    Docherty briefly becoming a right winger, driving past the Chelsea players and wins a corner

    To be fair, he's been very decent in the League for us - Nice to see someone come in to the team from the cold, and really take advantage of their opportunity, most just seem to go through the motions in recent years

    I wish we were playing him left side today not right. Could have been a bit of an audition to see if he could replace Gillesphey in the 11

    Goes far post, REG's header is a little soft and the keeper saves easily.

    Edun loses the ball midway in their half, Chelsea send the ball forward but they get done for offside.
