If we’re allowed two over 21’s definitely get Docherty some game time along with the new winger or centre back.

wonder if Tony will get another game

£8 to get in, which is decent enough.

Might wait and see the line up though before I commit, it's a reserve game, but i'd want to maybe see the two overage players in action.

Anyone any idea of our lineup tonite (6.30 remember).
We have 2 goalies out on loan so does that mean Dave Richards will have to be in the goal?
Are we allowed two first teamers or what? In that case Richards would have to be one of them.
Is there an age restriction?
I'm looking forward to seeing the likes of Forbes, O'Donnell, Cleall-Harding, Stirton & Domeracki.
Anyone else to look out for?
It's against the Fun so it could be fun, we're short favourites to win.
 

Odada and Meshack both in starting line up

681 attendance according to social media.

£5 and 90 minutes I won't get back.

Cracking save from Adams at their pen in the shoot-out though.

Neither Meshack or Odada stood out, well they did, I suppose, they stood out in the sense they didn't show anything to suggest they were guys who we'd look to influence premiership games.

Odada played at walking pace, no intensity, his weight of pass was somethimes well off, and at times he struggled to read the game, or break up play.

Meshack tried, but was more a dribbler, trying to take multiple men on, rather than go beyond the fullback and get crosses in, which I think is what I want from winger/wide man.

To be fair, other than the odd flash from either team, it was a pretty brutal match, nobody from either side stating a case.

Played like a training match, yes they're young lads, probably drilled to an inch of their life in possession, ball retention, keeping your shape, giving nothing away, but even if last night was free, it wouldn't have been value for money.

Of course it's early days, it's only 70 or so minutes plus a few brief subby appearances, but I reckon we might see Docherty starting before Odada is given a chance.

Not writing him off, the pic above is just a bit of fun, but there's a lot of hard work ahead of him in the coming weeks.
 

When is the draw for the next round?

I don't think it is unfair to say that Odada was utterly atrocious in last night's match, given the circumstances. He's been here for around 3 weeks now(?) so I expected him to control that match in midfield, against teenagers that were genuinely about half his height. There wasn't a single moment in the 65 mins he played where I saw him do anything close to good.

Im not writing him off. He was maybe put through a full session in the morning, then had to play the match to push his fitness, but he didn't do any running around to make last night a 'fitness' exercise. His passing was off, he looked sloppy and didn't seem to read the game well. Lewis O'Donnell was miles ahead of him and I'd start him currently over Odada.

Meshack, not so awful, some nice touches and flicks, but nothing crazy. Expected slightly more.

Maybe I'm being overly negative but if you were at the match last night I'd be happy to be told I'm being dramatic.
