[Football] Stevenage U23's 3 -1 Albion U23's match report.

[AmexRuislip]

A Brighton & Hove Albion under-21 side were eliminated from the Checkatrade Trophy this evening, as Stevenage ran out 3-1 winners at the Lamex Stadium.

The Seagulls struggled to get going throughout, and after Alex Samuel’s brace and Kyle Wootton’s penalty put Boro comfortably ahead, Jamie Murphy scored a late consolation in stoppage time.

No-one forcing their way into Hughton's plans there then

Should we be worried at this result, or must move on?

 

[Albion Robster]

6 first teamers played! V.poor result.

A few may have forced their way into Hughton's January transfer window plans.

That's very disappointing for several reasons. Firstly, we put out a very strong team, with a lot of PL and Championship players in the line up - and lost. As Lush said, no-one knocking on Hughton's door on that performance. Secondly, although some disapprove of the whole concept of the Checkatrade Trophy, I'd like to have seen us at least in the later stages, if not even better. Thirdly, the young players in that team were probably those closest to a break through - Connolly, Tilley, Ahannach and Molumbey - and they don't seem to have furthered their cause much.

Oh well. Bad day at the office, I guess. Bring on the real stuff again after this bloody international break!

On the other hand, Skalak has edged closer to a recall to the first team.............

... good game for Goldson, Baldock and Kayal too.

Those four were well out of this debacle

Very much doubt that. Not good enough. I would bin Murphy also in Jan

 

[Rogero]

How did he play then?

Did you miss the entire promotion season or something ?

I think Gwylan (post above yours) 'got it' better than you did!

I see this another Lincoln type result, you'd think that the first teamers would want to play for a place, given it's PL!

I wonder if Newcastle are getting the same comments about their game.
Did they field any 1st team players ?

Just a couple then, and hardly big-time regulars?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yet again, a cup match with senior players who should be looking to impress, ends in dismal defeat.


Is Rusk the problem ?

 

[Questions]

That side looked pretty strong on paper.lll

A few goodbyes coming soon there.(unless still contracted)

ALBION: Krul; Schelotto, Hutchinson (Cox 59), Huenemeier, Rosenior; Collar, Molumby; Tilley (Ahannach HT), Brown, Murphy; Connolly (Alzate 90+1).

 

[Springal]

Conceding 3 with that back 5 is criminal really! May give Hughton some food for thought in January
