cidered abroad Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 This was a tough game for our Under 23's. With so many of their squad out on loan or with our first team squad prior to Sheffield Wednesday, it's fair to say without denigrating anyone of our team, that it was our reserve team at this level against Rovers first choice. If we have strength in depth in the first team squad, it's more of the same at this age level. A real sign that we are a very different club than we were four/five years ago. City started quite well trying to push the passes on the ground but it soon developed into a long ball game played at breakneck speed without anyone on either side having any time to settle on the ball. Our midfield were losing the battle for the rest of the first half. A scrappy goal from a corner followed by a screamer that dipped late left us 2-0 down at HT. Same pattern for some while in the second half but slowly we got the ball down and began to play, mainly on our left side. Missed a pen but then got a similar goal to Rovers first from a corner, another pen scored and a then another goal from a corner. Who impressed me most? Wollacott looks much stronger than when I last saw him. Plavotic is always looking for a short pass to midfield and only going long as a last resort. Defensively hardly lost a duel on the ground or in the air. Holden reminds me of a twenty year old Joe Bryan. Similar build but not outdone physically, primarily left footed but also able to use the right when cutting inside and enough pace over ten yards to be dangerous. It's always a bit difficult for an amateur like me to pick up on on the good or bad bits technically. But the spirit and team work of everyone was the major reason why we came back into the game and got a win. To win at this level is not the primary concern, but it's good for youngsters to come back so well against a side that were perhaps a bit older and bigger. And it's always good to beat the Gas!

Number 7 for Gas is Broom a blond haired lad who I only noticed when he was carrying the ball through our midfield. That seemed to be quite often. Gas fan near me said he'd played for the first team against W Ham recently in Checkatrade cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And someone called "Geworge" Nurse Just looking at that sheet and there are 3 players from our U18's in that squad. Cameron Allen, who played, Marcus Day and Zac Smith, so that's a good sign too.
