[Thunder Bolt]

BFG

So that's Goldson and Huenemeier who can score from corners. Time for Duffy to sit on the bench?

It's a shame Skalak's shot will go down as an own goal.

Albion U-23s stretch their unbeaten record (in all competitions) to 13 matches (their loss against Swansea City in the Premier League Cup last week came in the penalty shoot-out after the match finished in a draw).

Albion's record in those matches:-

P:13 W:10 D:3 L:0 F:36 A: 5

Albion are now within touching distance of securing a play-off spot in Premier League 2 Division Two. If Wolves don't win against Middlesbrough on Thursday and Fulham fail to beat Southampton on Friday, Albion secure their spot with two games still left to play.

2nd game I have seen. Several good players but Sanders looks outstanding. Spoke to someone there who said he has scored 8/9 goals from midfield. Could be sub on Saturday

Didn't he score in his last U23s as well?

The 4th goal was comical. West Brom’s aptly named keeper Palmer, palmed it into his own net, thinking he was tipping it over the bar. Good performance by us. We fielded a strong team, but they also had 2 internationals playing ( Chadli and Burke).

Well done to the U23s. It seems that my suggestion earlier in the season, that they werent very good must have spurred them on to greater heights

Well I think we can fairly safely say none of them are First Team Ready.

If you're not going to boot the ball up field to the big 'lad', who's standing 2 yards off-side, you're not going far with the Albion.

We're lucky to have pros like him in the team.

Burke's Scottish - doesn't really count

Their CB, Gabr, has played 18 times for Egypt. Field has played 15+ games for their first team. Leko is highly rated and has played 10+ times for their first team, and 10+ times for Bristol City on loan this season. Plus Chadli and Burke. That was a strong team for them as well.

[GT49er]

Excellent result. Let's hope some of the youngsters make it to the first team soon.
