Good point, quite a few of the development squad must have been promoted to the 1st team squad seeing how few first team players we have now.

Swear I read that some where. I knew I hadn't imagined it. The OP used it in the title to the thread. So that's at least two of us. Looks more like The National Japan under 21 squad. So not surprising result given the new faces and the half time changes.

Beaten by a bunch of uni students with jet lag? The future is not blue and white. The future is bland.

So are we bothered about losing this particular game against the Japan under 21's team (as per the official site) rather than taking delight from the fact that our guys actually benefited from a great experience against such opposition ?

It is NOT the national Japan U-21 side. This squad is from the Japan University Football Association, spending 10 days in La Manga as a training camp in preparation for the South Korea Gwangju Summer World University Games in July 2015. - JUFA squad listing

The JFA website did not report on this game AT ALL.

The only place I've seen this game mentioned was on the Japanese UNIVERSITY FA website. (In Japanese)

Yes our dev squad was beaten, 3-0, by a bunch of amateur Uni students.

Simon Ireland thinks his team was playing the Japan National under 21 side. Oh! and he's driving the bus. Shambles!

Don't wait for me!
Both have been given development squad contracts according to Naylor.
Poppoe looks great if he can stay injury free

Daniel was a regular captain of Chelsea’s Under-16 and Under-18 teams, making his Under-18 debut aged 13.
Daniel was named in the provisional Ghana Under-20 squad for the 2013 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, having never previously been courted by the Black Stars. He made the final party but was cut on the eve of the tournament amid apparent concerns of injury.
Lots of injuries.
