Scarlett on as sub for Ipswich in the 72nd minute. They're leading 1-0 at St Mary's, The Dell, the SCBC whatever the name is.
There have been personnel changes. Phillips is new, Ashcroft, Lankshear and Soonsup-Bell are as good as new, Dorrington and Donley have gone from boys to men. But the likes of Lyons-Foster, Santiago and the absent tonight John have also raised their game. The energy is just so different, last season the aggression in the team was more likely to result in red cards than goals. The players just seem so much happier.What happened over the summer to see such a massive change in our U21's?
Same coach but such a different level of performance. It's like night and day.
It's a lot of the U18s and U19s team that won their leagues last year right?There have been personnel changes.

Not really, from the starting line-up, just Donley and Dorrington, who were being bled into the U21s last season anyway. Gunter has played a bit but we’ve not seen all that much of Kyrematin, Andiyapan or McKnight, and nothing of Abbott, Linton, Heaps or Williams.It's a lot of the U18s and U19s team that won their leagues last year right?
Clearly a bit rusty. Nothing to worry about imo.Let's not get on his back for missing a few. Let's recognise that was his first minutes for our club at senior or u21 level. He was in the positions, making runs. It'll come.
100%. Got into some good positions and just needs a bit of sharpness. Was trying to be too cute.Let's not get on his back for missing a few. Let's recognise that was his first minutes for our club at senior or u21 level. He was in the positions, making runs. It'll come.
Yep, and he’ll get there sooner rather than later playing in this side.Let's not get on his back for missing a few. Let's recognise that was his first minutes for our club at senior or u21 level. He was in the positions, making runs. It'll come.
Unlike the beige kitThis under 21 side is a serious outfit.
