[Albion] BHAFC U23s v Blackburn U23s at the AMEX - 10 Sept

[The Large One]

Tolaj looks like a Bond villain. At 19.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

2-0 after 20 mins

 

[chaileyjem]

2-0 with only 20 mins gone. Terrific finish from Tolaj but great pressing from Albion. Sarmiento looking v bright.

This could be messy for Rovers.

 

[AZ Gull]

2-0 to Albion - a penalty scored by Marc Leonard after a gust of wind blew over Cameron Peupion, and a rocket from Lorent Tolaj.

 

[Whitechapel]

Lovely bit of pressuring by Peupion for the second!

Duncan Goodhew!

Cracking finish for his goal.

3-0 - James Furlong with the worst cross ever.

Jeremy Sarmiento looks the real deal. Lively and menacing, like a loose 300 kilovolt power cable!

The league exists only as a means to develop talent. The ultimate goal isn't to win U-23 matches, it is to produce players for the first team (of course, with fees being generated by selling those that don't quite make it).

Yes of course - I bloody know that! It is still nice to win though - and it's a long time since we won any trophy! I was also partly thinking of something I saw on the Rovers forum earlier in the week, based on them finishing above us last season (not that last season means anthing at all in U23 football, of course.

This lot (us) is a bit like watching Barcelona tonight though (against a significantly under-strength Blackburn side, to be fair).

I'd agree with that. Looks like a very talented young player who's not afraid to take people on and seems to have bags of pace. Hopefully one for the first team soon.

 

[GT49er]

Tolaj already looks as if he can turn and shoot as well as Locadia - looks a bloody sight scarier too!

He has a great first touch that takes him past the first player allied to very fast acceleration meaning he is gone by the time the defender has turned. There is creativity with the passing too. I see him as a Trossard style player, I suspect we picked him up instead of Velasco.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Leonard looks good again Lovely weight of pass.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Best I've seen of Tolaj. Looks strong.

 

[Whitechapel]

When Moran starts to learn when to hold on to the ball and when to move it on he’s going to be one hell of a player, great feet.

Apart from last season when the youngsters won a trophy
