[Albion] U23’s vs Everton

[One Teddy Maybank]

Drab game in challenging conditions
Team not as per sheet.
30 min gone, Everton on top territorially, but after good work by George Cox, Skalak put us one up.

Half-time. 2-0 Brighton
After the first goal Brighton took control playing some nice one touch football.
Connolly went very close to adding a third, after playing keepy-uppy with his back to goal, swivelling and shooting just over the bar.

Against the wind in the second half

Neither presumably will Connolly or Alzate! Wonder if any of the youngsters will even get on the bench? Doubt it!

20 home in second half, still 2-0.
Everton had a good spell, one cross shot tipped over by Sanchez. Connolly went close and Skalak forced a good save from the goalie.

Cox, Alzate and Connolly pick of our players. Skalak looking okay, not doing a lot wrong.

Don’t know if Hutchinson, Molumby or Tilley on bench or injured

Interesting that Skalak is with u23s as we only have 2 wingers otherwise (unless Schelotto/Locadia will cover if required)

Gyorkeres seems really promising. Hoping he’ll be one to make the break through to first team.

Funnily enough, today he was awful the entire game, but one decent chance and he buried it - which has to be a good sign........

We left with 5 mins to go (bad fans).......

At the time it was still 3-0 (final score). Jose Baxter came on for Everton, and really laid into their players after another bad pass, which had led to Connolly breaking away for the umpteenth time.

Connolly was excellent, Cox played well and we really did control the game. Skalak looked strong after his injury and delivered some lovely crosses. Alzate really does look good on the ball and I hope he kicks on. However, I felt Mateju struggled and interestingly Bjordal wasn't his normal self. Gyorkeres touch was very poor, and I can't actually remember any time he passed to one of his own team, but then he scored at the end.

All very promising..... and a good performance.

Dallison always looks steady, but given the number of good CB's we have I do wonder whether he'll get another contract (which is a shame).

Think Molumbey's been injured a while, hasn't he?

Ah, I did wonder. What about Hutchinson?

Thanks a lot for the updates and content - I take an interest in how young lads develop.

No wait. I mean, our young lads. It’s different when it’s your own.

No I mean, as footballers.
