Brighton U18's lose 8 - 0

[StonehamPark]

Do you know if the academy still play that negative pass it around the back boring system that poyet implemented?
I do recall all our sides playing this idiotic way a few years ago

Are you talking about the football we played where we finished in our highest league position in many years?
Yeah, let's tell our younger players not to implement that successful strategy.

Before or after your programme notes, Paul?

After of course.

This is true but not necessarily in sync, such an emphatic trouncing as 8-0 suggests that there might have been some differences on the age, experience and therefore physicality which will always effect the outcome of youth games.

Similarly it might represent that the new set of players are not particularly strong, but that might be a little unfair so I am going with an out of sync age group

Wolves starting XI: 5 2nd-years, 4 1st-years, 2 U-16s
Albion starting XI: 5 2nd-years, 3 1st-years, 3 U-16s

So they were two very similar sides in terms of age/experience.
