Papa John's EFL Trophy | KO 19:00 v Mansfield Town

[simmo]

Was an entertaining game. We passed it well in the first half but found the going tough second half.

Unlucky we had a goal ruled out for offside and hit the bar in injury time. Not sure the average age of the side but it must have been very young even for U21.

3*17, 6*18 & 2*19 year olds in the starting 11. The subs bench was 3*16, 2*17 & 2*18 year olds so overall very young. Good experience for all of them regardless of the result.

Already deleted, whatever it was.

Already deleted, whatever it was.

It was just City's official Twitter account congratulating the EDS on "the victory against Mansfield" with a flexed bicep emoji.
