[Albion] U23s home to Chelsea tonight - live on Albion TV

He is 6ft 2 though apparently.

Got it!

So with your theory of 10 joking inches taller than Ryan, generally when stretched out he would have a 5-inch longer reach per arm.

Giving up now - constant buffering again. Will follow the action via NSC!

Sorry to hear that perhaps you may need to check your system. Its relly running ok. Good luck, have you cleared your cache ?

How is Teddy Jenks playing?

Not the best, unfortunately.

We are (were) playing Chelsea, who had won 2 out of 2 before this evening . I think you need a title perspective here. We should be rejoicing that we are now 3rd in the league behind Liverpool and Chelsea. Seriously good effort when you consider players out on loan or rested after the Preston game.

I do have a little perspective, thanks. That's why I was wondering why the U21s/23s still looked Hughtonesque - and I wasn't just referring to this match. I've watched four more or less junior teams' performances this season - and yes, the Portsmouth performance was great - but the others seemed to feature a lot more all-behind-the-ball defending and hanging on. Sometimes the same last season too. Hence my original question - how far has Potterball infiltrated to the youth teams?

I've tried - but there are times when you need a teenager while they still know everything (especially about IT!)

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Lots of positives again - agree about Rushworth and Cochrane. I suspect Dendoncker and Weir will make it too

It was a tough midfield battle to be honest did not notice him much mate.

Why

You didn't notice his excellent pass that set up Cashman for the goal that sealed the victory?

 

[AZ Gull]

I enjoyed watching that. I had a day off today so was able to sit back and take in the whole match, without having to pretend I was working!

MOTM tonight for me was Cashman - worked his bollocks off for 93 minutes as the focal point of the attack, did very well helping to hold up play (in a match where Albion possession was increasingly scarce as the game wore on) and won a number of free-kicks throughout the 90 minutes. He then took his opportunity superbly well to seal the deal.

Simon Rusk spoke about game management in the preview and I thought it was excellent from the whole team tonight.

To be honest it was an excellent pass, but I had not noticed who made it, as I was busy trying to watch whether Cashman was going to score!

It was an excellent team performance all round I thought.

I didn't realise this (headline from the report on the Chelsea FC website):-



Turns out Chelsea went undefeated last season.

From what I saw, Cochrane could step straight up with no problem, maybe the same with Dendoncker...., I'm liking it.

I’ve watched the last 2 games and Cochrane has been the one that stood out. Doesn’t shirk a challenge and bombs forward. Loves a first time cross.

They had Lamptey last year.

Did Eneme get on?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Yes but only for a few minutes
