Nice to see the EDS training pics on the OS.
It feels like the academy is going to gain more attention, as Viana suggested.

FFS 2 down after 47 mins

 

[johnny crossan]

As expected really, not a patch on the team last season with so many departures. Having said that they should have scored at least two before half time.

 

[Bob Hope]

Great strike from Samuel
2-1

 

[cleavers]

Pretty young side to be fair, they'll grow.

 

[cleavers]

chelsea appear to playing 6-4-0 in the last few minutes, hope they get what they deserve.

 

[johnny crossan]

3-1 all over

 

[cleavers]

3-1 unfortunately, long ball over the defence.

 

[cleavers]

FT 3-1.

the spine of last years team pretty much gone made us look a little disjointed but last season started similar so it’s only one game. In fairness to Chelsea they were a very very young side but played some really nice football nos 10 & 11 both 16 years old looked seriously good prospects. The only way is up!

 

[Cobra]

A midfield of Heskey, Mukasa and Oboavwoduo is far too attacking, need a ball winner playing in there too

 

[LongsightM13]

Some very young lads in there tonight, brilliant result

Chelsea had a younger team than us so I wouldn’t say losing to them was a brilliant result!

Yes no Charlie Gray or Dada Mascal last night .3 key things last year were good CB pairing, good striker who could finish and good CM pairing, Gray and J Heskey. We can get last one back and hopefully rest grow into it.
