[Albion] Albion U21 v Spuds U21 Fri Sept 30

[WATFORD zero]

For anyone who used to go to the Football Combination midweek at the Goldstone, it's a completely different world. Thoroughly enjoyed some seriously good kids tonight

It is so important to us as a club.

MOTM? Ed Turns for me - the new Wales U21 captain played a blinder, dominating midfied (yes, that's how far upfield our CBs were playing!), capped off with a smashing goal.

Have to agree, love the attitude with 10 secs to go and 4-0 up racing back to get in a great block.

Turns looks the real deal
Also Impressed with Spong and Hinchelwood a good win in terrible conditions

Three-quarters watched this (I missed the red, or at least the awarding of it). Offiah and Spong the stand-out players for me.
We were very good.

Week tomorrow it’s the first teams….can dream about the same result…but perhaps not the same weather

 

[hans kraay fan club]

A Spurs OG (from a Miller centre) and a close range finish from Turns, complete an emphatic 4-0 win

I take it back, the weather is livening up. Back in the day at Waterhall, this is when you would play a high offside line into the wind and hope your goalkeeper could reach the halfway line

I once remember a goalkeeper taking a goal kick that went back over his own bar for a corner

I used to play at Stanley Deason Leisure Centre. We kicked off at 9.00 pm. We used to play until we were kicked off by the person locking the gates, so quite often around 11.00pm. In the middle of January, with a force 8 coming off the sea, and freezing rain, your hands were so cold, you couldn't squeeze the button on your key fob to get in to your car. Then you couldn't grip the key to turn on the ingnition. Then, after overcoming this, you couldn't turn your front door key to get in to the house! I'm quite glad I packed that up!!

Turns and Tsoungui are a brilliant CB pairing (always a two; Offiah was always a RB, not a RCB. Tsoungui had a bad injury last season, set him back a lot and Turns has moved ahead. If/when Tsouhgui gets fully back uo to speed they will be a formidable pairing.

I wonder if any team has ever loaned out a CB partnership to League 1 or 2 as a job lot? Could it happen next season?

You might want to rephrase that!!!!

Thought Turns could have been loaned out - I would imagine it will happen in January

Aye, you were lucky. We used to play in Stoneham park. Freezing rain, blowing a force nine hooley, with concrete and white dog shit. Cycling home with gravel on your seat and then having to find the string in the letterbox.
