[Hiheidi]

Brighton fielded a strong side as they played host to Wednesday, taking a 3-0 lead in the first half and that was how the score remained after the second 45 minutes came to an end.

Anyone know who scored?

I'm sure the Albion first team players and coaching staff do.

For anyone interested - a 277-photo gallery from the Burgess Hill Town friendly yesterday.

And while we're at it - a 147-photo gallery from the Basingstoke Town friendly on Saturday.

 

[Whitechapel]

I saw Baleba leaving the training ground at around 5:30pm so I assumed he played.


Earth shattering news, I’m sure you agree.

No idea how this video has made its way to Twitter -



Edit: seems it was released by the club

 

[Hiheidi]

Was Rushworth in goal?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hurzeler is going to be fun watching on the touchline.

Having studied the video and photos, I believe the U-21s lined up as so:-

1. Lorenz Ferdinand
2. Casper Nilsson
3. Harry Mills
4. Freddie Simmonds
5. Jacob Vickers
6. Layth Gulzar
7. Adrian Mazilu
8. Samy Chouchane
9. Louis Flower
10. Jamie Mullins
11. Luca Barrington

I believe the subs were:-

12. Josh Robertson or Harry Lee?
13. Steven Hall (GK)
14. Harry Howell
15. Yussif Moro Owusu
16. Charlie Tasker
17. Caylan Vickers
18. Zane Albarus
19. Joshua Duffus
20. Kamari Doyle
21. Marcus Ifill
22. Charlie Penman
26. Remiero Moulton

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

Noel Bigo Atom
Ed Turns
Jacob Slater
Joe Knight
Sahil Bashir

Looks like the Bordeaux team were too strong for the under 21s

There's a few other U21s missing from that list too - returning loanees Yasin Ayari, Andrew Moran, Jensen Weir and Imari Samuels, plus, for instance, Benicio Baker-Boaitey and Luca Barrington. Are they in Japan with the first team, I wonder - or back home being fixed up for loans/moves?

The first four you named are in Japan deffo.

i thought Jensen’s ship had sailed by now but I’m glad to see Moran there - I thought he always looked a good prospect - competition is so fierce though!
