Interesting selections, heavily rotated squad, perhaps because of the recent international call ups. First starts, I think for U16s Bradley Irow in goal, Ollie Salter and Oliver Dexter (mistakenly listed as Oliver) in midfield. Rare starts for second years right back Dante Orr and centre backs Timi Adekunle and Roman Egan-Riley and I think it might be a first start for first year defensive midfielder Samal Bangura. U16s Agyekum and Thomas are on the bench as well.


I think the lads name is in fact Dexter Oliver, the tweets from the Spurs academy suggests so and it's this on the official site in various match reports.

Is Dorrington injured again? Hardy’s on the bench today, I would’ve thought it would be dorrington

He's back from injury but he's not match fit or in form. He's going to need a fair bit longer to get up to speed.

Is Hardy highly rated? Captain of England Under 17s, but how good is he? I can’t say I’ve heard him mentioned much before.

Scarlett scored again.
Absolutely ridiculous that he doesnt start the form he is in

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not ridiculous. He’s still young and they are a club playing - I think - a bit above their leve. I watched the game against Watford and he did really well as a very isolated forward, then gave the ball away badly leading to Watford’s winning goal. Oxford have another good CF who started the season brilliantly and I would expect Harris and Scarlett to each start their fair share.

I am impressed that Keeley has been starting for Orient though.

What a great experience it would've been for Olusesi and Hardy being apart of such a fantastic win and performance. Sure they didn't play, they probably didn't expect to, but to be apart of the whole day first hand would've been brilliant for them.
