The club should really start to stream these matches on the OS

Always wanted to tune in to our EDS and Acdemy players until I realised that it wouldn't just be the well wishers watching, sadly the best the world has to offer in coaching and scouting technology adorn bluemoon and most 14 to 17 year olds would fall apart when they read that some fat nob thinks their shite and will never even make in the conference. So for that reason I hope we never stream live matches and instead stick to the current format of just showing highlights.

thats a good point I've never thought of it like that, although I do feel that as they are playing only 1 step down from the first team these players really do need to get use to being in the spotlight

Guidetti playing well?

Guidetti playing well?

Just got back from the game. Entertaining but 3-0 makes it look more convincing than it was.

We were a bit laboured in approach work and didn't take advantage of early domination.

According to an old boy next to us, it was a very young Norwich side, and they appeared to be in awe of us at first. When they realised we weren't going to tear them apart as easily as they thought, they grew in confidence, and it was touch and go until the third goal was scored.

Guidetti was not good (I'm being very kind to him here). He doesn't look anything like a Premiership player and is certainly not good enough for City. If he goes out on loan in January, I suspect we won't see him back in a City shirt.

EDS team - Could do better. John Guidetti - I'd love to think he'll get back to form, but I just don't see it happening.

Thanks for the report, how did Denayer and Fofana play?

Denayer looks like the real deal. Had a sound game and made everything look very easy, giving himself lots of time on the ball. The new Vinny...?

Fofana worked hard and looked dangerous - took his goals very well.

Whilst my gut feel tells me John G won't make it at the top level I will certainly give him time to get to full fitness before really assessing him. Just great to see him playing again.

 

[LoveCity]

Very, very early to judge Guidetti I think. He has one of those frames where it'll take quite some time to find peak fitness and form. The illness + injury may have taken something away from him, but I don't think we'll truly know for another few months. Tonight's was his first game for 7 months and even when he got injured again he was still trying to find fitness after the virus/illness thing.

This is the EDS we are talking about not the Youth team, EDS matches should be televised if possible.
