EDS playoff semi v Chelsea

[SrilankanBlue]

Unlucky lads.

It seems to have been a common occurance this season that the EDS are not clinical enough in the big games.

This. Not the first time

To be honest, I thought Chelsea are better team. They have more talent.

Vintage Chelsea - ride their luck and snatch it! But City needed to take their chances better and it would've been comfortable then.

Should've had Balotelli teach these kids how to take a pen. Say what you will about him but he's the best penalty taker I've ever seen

Confidence is everything when taking a penalty.

Shame that we have some good young prospects by the looks of it

Definitely, Lopes, Fofana, Ambrose and Angelino all look highly promising

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

sums up that age group for me, just not quite good enough.

To be honest, I thought Chelsea are better team. They have more talent.

Where were the local lads though?

They seemed to have a few Birtish lads but most were foreign, at least we had a good set of local lads on show which is what academy football is all about surely?

I think in the long run our academy will serve us better than Chelsea's will do for them.

It was big mistake that Fofana took the penalty. You can't be crocked like he was at the end and shot a good penalty.

 

[Feed the Elk]

Poor quality on show tonight, especially up front

Looks like we'll have to continue buying the finished product for a while

 

[Blue Punter]

Great fight boys. We have some great youth players! Blackmon is a beast.

I put earlier in the thread that there was a really big towering lad in their squad. Should have twigged he was the keeper. He's been on the bench for the first team and was ultimately the difference in tonight's game.

Thought it was a decent game.
