Sussex Senior Cup QF - Bognor - Tonight - 19:45 (Nyewood Lane)

[AZ Gull]

i feel our development team have gone backwards

It is a young side tonight; the starting 11 consisted of 6 scholars, 2 first-year pros, and just 3 young professionals (one of whom is actually, effectively, also a second-year scholar). And 2 of the subs brought on were also scholars, with the 3rd being an U-16 player.

i said before the game bognor would be too strong for our development team and i was proved right

But have we gone backwards?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Maybe it has something to do with the fact our best youngsters arent playing for the DS now that they are in the first team squad ?

Havent gone backwards, forwards if anything as DS players are featuring for the first team.

 

[Ali_rrr]

U18s were asked to play tonight. I think the U21 had a game monday so a lot were being rested for Monday's game.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Has Monakana lasted a 90 mins yet?

 

[El Sid]

"Super" Terry Dodds - could do a job. If they got him off the bread pudding.

 

[brightonmark1234]

okay sorry i am wrong and i know we are missing so many players who are in the first team and who we have sent out on loan to league clubs

 

[empire]

some on here are bloody clueless ,we sent a very young team to a game,where the other team are flying in their league,got to final and have some very good players

 

[AZ Gull]

Has Monakana lasted a 90 mins yet?

Yes - he played 90 mins at Millwall 2 days ago (as well as against Eastbourne Borough in the last round of the SSC).

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Monakana looked very good in the first half. We played the ball around very well.

They scored a good goal before the first half, then really pushed on us early in the second. The rain made the pitch heavy and we struggled to play the ball around in the same way. Disappointing to throw away two leads.

It's only one poster bemoaning the result and he's seen the light.

 

[breachy]

lovely and sunny here in bognor at he moment. Remember to try the bread pudding in the canteen, voted best in the ryman league. if terry dodd is on fire tonight expect a bognor win. could be a game with lots of goals

Spot on Terry Dodd was on fire with his hatrick... Saw the bread pudding but didn't buy one ...in hindsight didnt know till i read this at home after the game

Do you have the lottery numbers for Saturday?

 

[MARKO]

And from the look of the line up ,Bognor were without their two regular centre halves..Robinson and Axten

What happened to the younger Icelander, Larruson ? Is he still with us ?

What happened to the younger Icelander, Larruson ? Is he still with us ?

Yes he has been playing well, their was a DS person on crutches watching the game from the club end, looked like he may have had blonde hair but I didn't catch who it was. Hopefully they or if it was him they recover quickly.

Its more likely we have three big games coming up quickly, starting on Monday at home to Bristol City if we win those and Cardiff slip up, we have to play them away near the end of the season. So its about rotation for thew cup game.

What happened to the younger Icelander, Larruson ? Is he still with us ?

He was on the bench, non used sub.
