Will be interesting to see the team and whether some of the older ones stay in e.g Mbete, Katongo or if they go back to the more usual side after mid week.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Not managed to watch as many as I'd like but tuning into this one.

 

[br88]

Does anyone know the situation with Dada-Mascoll these days.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

1 down but looked offside.

 

[johnny crossan]

How did that not go in!

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Well worked 1 each Matty Warhurst.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Poor keeping that.

 

[johnny crossan]

1-3 now

 

[johnny crossan]

The management on the benches sounding quite Neanderthal - not at all sure Wilko should be in charge, gubbins turn appointment. If we lose this as it seems we will that'll be 3 defeats from the first 4 PL2 games. Not good enough with the calibre of players we possess.

 

[johnny crossan]

2-3 good one!

 

[johnny crossan]

3-3 Mfuni- maybe not another defeat after all!

Wilkinson has a great reputation as a very progressive coach.

Always encouraging to see the youngsters fighting to the end and rescuing a point.
Every team, whatever skill level, need a fighting spirit.
Some academy players will only play for themselves, not the team.
Well done Lads...

 

[Asa's left peg]

Thought Mbete was at fault for all three. Taken off at HT. Shame for the lad. Given his failed loans it doesn't look like it will work out for him. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.

Yes, he's 22 now and only has a year left next summer. Sometimes it takes a move away for things to click in their heads, only wish the lad well but as a left sided FB or CB there's not going to be room for him here sadly.

He was poor against Oldham too. He’s 22 now, there’s no way he should be playing for the EDS

 

[90s blue brother]

I thought Charlie Gray completely changed that game, just quietly went about dictating the pace and linking everything. I saw he’s in the last year of his contract at only 19 and Sunderland and other clubs interested, be interesting to see if the club just let him walk away on a free
