BBM:


“Rob Tankiewicz had a really good debut, and was also close to coming onto the pitch on Saturday. And for Axel to come on and show real signs of what we see in training is an insight into how high our hopes are for him.

“It’s probably a bit surreal for them in this moment. You can see from their families’ reactions that it’s a really proud moment for them. It’s an insight into what we want this club to become."

"And for Axel to come on and show real signs of what we see in training is an insight into how high our hopes are for him."

Looking ahead to our next fixture in the competition, a clash with Arsenal U21s in November, the gaffer concluded by speaking about how the Vertu Trophy helps young players.

“The beauty of this competition in my experience is that these games give these players the chance to play with First Team players.”

"Those two have really earned their place in the squad. We have really high hopes for them in the future. They are very grown up, have a real awareness of how good they are through their humility and how they approach their training on a daily basis.”

BBM on Tankie & Donczew debuts:

"Some exceptionally talented players from this city representing their home club & it's not just for the sake of it. Those two have really earned their place in this squad, irrespective of how many players we had away or not available"

Probably the only positive is that these players got the experience of playing with senior players.

Nobody can blame those two, very young and it was their debut.
