Is anyone planning to head to the Pilot Field for this evening's friendly? If so, and you see a teamsheet, I would appreciate a pic on here. Failing that, a few photos of the Albion line-up would be greatly appreciated. (y)

Looks like the U-21s faced AFC Bournemouth today already, so an U-18s squad v Hastings?

Asked for a team sheet and did not get. Took a picture of the warm up.

...

If all that is correct, no apparent sign of:-

Noel Bigo Atom
Ed Turns
Jacob Slater
Joe Knight
Still no sight of these four players on the pitch during this pre-season. Joe Knight and Jacob Slater were definitiely on the U-21s training camp in Spain, so they are presumably injured. But as for Ed Turns and Noel Bigo Atom. :shrug:

Was at today’s U21’s game against Brentford which finished 2-0 to Albion after we forced home a 2nd with the last kick of the game. Many bright prospects coming through but Chouchane, Duffus and Gulzar stood out for me. Chouchane in particular looks ready for a development loan into 1st team football and really dictated much of the play today.
