It's always interesting seeing inexperienced players in pre-season and then who gets picked in cup/trophy games.

Osho really impressed me in multiple appearances, Sackey too though to a lesser extent and in one appearance... Garcia not really. Then Garcia is consistently featuring and we get players like Akande and Spencer who didn’t seem anywhere in the pecking order in preseason getting genuine match experience and Osho and Sackey on the bench at best or nowhere.

Makes you wonder what you miss from training.

Then there's Senga... involved in first team pre-season two years in a row. But nowhere in the regular season, playing in the Unders yesterday over 'first team' today.

[Sutekh]

Hope Kanu doesn't have another meltdown.

[Snowflake Royal]

15 minutes in and this ref is truly awful.

[Hound]

Senga picked up an injury in preseason - may have played yesterday for fitness

[Snowflake Royal]

Lovely move that. Wareham had a whiff of offside about him, but we'll take it. He's looked a bit frustrated at putting the work rate in but not getting the goals recently, so clearly meant something for him.

oxf*rd hell, Dean doesn't want to play in the first team does he.

[East Grinstead Royal]

Just tried finding the game on Sky, but it doesn’t seem to be there. Am I missing something?

[Snowflake Royal]

This ref thinks any physical contact if you have the ball and fall over = a free kick.

[Sutekh]

[Royals and Racers]

Shay Spencer is a midfielder and played a few games for the U 21’s last season. Harrison played for the U 18’s on Saturday.

[Snowflake Royal]

It does sometimes seem like CBC only concedes goals that look like howlers. He doesn't concede a lot, but that looked awful, as did one in preseason.

[Sutekh]

West Ham pull one back.

[AthleticoSpizz]

The blame game?

Zzz

I’m at the wrong end of the ground to say for certain, but looked like it took a huge deflection.

Would want to see it back before saying CBC was at fault.

Bit harsh, looked to me like it deflected off Dean and he was off balance

You may need to be on the Sky Sports Plus channel (was Sky Sports Arena) to get the red button games. It would depend on what box/service you have as to whether you’d be able to get the streamed games though.

Couldn't see one, but his reaction looked like it maybe. It can be a howler and not his fault still.

[Snowflake Royal]

Three subs at HT.

Bold.
