Reserves v Mansfield in semi final this afternoon

[MILLERSTALE]

Doesn't inspire much confidence
Is James a forward? (Never seen him play)

Both teams played strong sides, but their first team players were much more influential than ours,Zander Diamond and the other experienced centre back (AidenWhite) totally dominated Muskwe and Kayode.

Wiles, Bray Taylor and Warren were over powered and out paced by a good strong and very determined Mansfield midfield ! Including Will Atkinson, and the excellent Omari Sterling James who scored an hat trick.

Up front they had the excellent Lee Angol who we struggled to contain.

Our first team fringe players did look like reserves Cummings Bray,lkhwe, Taylor, Purrington, and there was none of them pushing for a first team start !

Overall we were easily second best but equalised in the last minute through a second excellent Warren corner and they went down field and scored the winner from a massive defensive mix up with our goalie Ikhwe and another defender getting in each other’s way and leaving an empty net for Sterling James to prod home, very, very reminiscent of what the first team were doing early on in the season.

By the way I would take Sterling James and Angol in our squad any day.

I agree, we were far too lightweight.

Not much to suggest that the youth system we have is paying it's way.
