Turner not a good back up for Trott

Men v’s boys.
Kingdon, Mafico and Colwill all exceptionally negative.
Now 0-4 down and the same lack of urgency, no movement and sideways, backwards.
Even Lawlor looks completely lost.

Perhaps lawlor should come off no point in risking injury game is over same with Ashford, league is more important

Can you blame them he starts without a striker, we losing 4nil at home he's changed nothing except like for like it does not work with leser players but some will say "it's good for the youngsters" change the shape do anything but he don't. Although we should take off Ashford and lawlor now the games dead for us.

Wimbledon could score more with ease the way it's going.

What tonight does show is no matter how talented some of our young lads are the gulf between u21 football and lower league mens is massive, but it's all good experience for them and I for one couldn't care less about this trophy Saturday is what really matters

I hope Salech is there watching, he can learn a lot from watching Sasu and how to finish off your chances and he's only 20

70% possession and losing 4 nil, says it all really.

Spot on. U21 football is pointless

That's what you've taken from this? FFS

We get that you don't like Salech but give it a rest.

Nyakuhwa needs to go out on loan and get games at first team level.

Agreed.

Of course disappointing but we know this will be nowhere the team on Saturday and we have bigger fish to fry.

Wimbledon played quite a strong team and to be fair have handled the game well.

100% agree, many of these are players are not good enough, but its good to be able to them

Joel is not a sitter, we have learned that, and Kellymen is not a striker

Probably delayed with the injury to Osho but it's like we haven't come out for the second half. Looked slow and defeated before a ball was kicked. Wimbledon on the other hand were out early and eager to put their foot down! Step too far for a lot of our youngsters, but they will be better for the experience

Yes Wimbledon made 6 changes tonight but it was there subs from Saturday and the 6 they replaced are on there bench tonight so it was our kids against there main 18,

You can see our kids have talent but up against seasoned mens footballers they just get brushed off the ball with ease, these kids need to go out on loan in January and play against men week in week out to toughen up

I was being serious and trying to be positive. Sasu has taken his chances very well and Salech needs to take more of his chances and should watch and learn from other strikers at every opportunity.

Axel Donczew, the 15-year-old, is on for his second appearance. Cian Ashford off.

Trey George also on for Troy Perrett.

Crossbar! 15-year-old Axel Donczew with some stunning feet to nip past a defender before rifling a low shot on target. Joe McDonnell is outstretched and tips it on to the bar!
