Friendly with Brighton

chapperzUK · Jan 20, 2015

Few tweets from a friendly with Brighton that finished 0-0.

More about the trialist:

Interesting to see 6 youth players on the bench and 1 start.

Was wondering why I couldn't find anything about Bouamrane, but there was obviously a spelling mistake on the first tweet (booo Kris Philips is the devil etc).

Nice to see we're keeping an eye out for the talent in the lower leagues. Peterborough and Daggers recruit mostly from non-league and it's done them good over the years. Credit to Phil Brown, he seems to be really interested in building a team for the future rather than just for the here and now. Didn't work out with Layne and Ellis Brown, but it's encouraging that we're getting these lads with potential through the door.

Looking back to the team that played:

7 current youths played (inc. 1 starting).
3 ex-youths starting.
2 young players also playing.
Looking at a player from non-league
Playing a 3-5-2 with 2 pacy strikers

..... did mrsblue pick the team!?

Were they also young? How hungry were they? Don't leave us in the dark like this Chapperz.

Evidently, not hungry enough as they didn't score. :winking:

Right that's it then, straight to bed, no supper, do not pass go, do not collect £200. We must ensure hunger levels remain high.

Was Weston playing up front with Williams?

"Jason Williams missed the Shrimpers best chance of the game" Have a word with your boy please mrsblue :smile:

That would be my guess as I'm sure Ellis Brown and Cotton are wingers.

“We had the best chance of the game, and Jason has to score from two or three yards out,” the Blues coach said.

Blues will next be playing a behind closed doors game away at Oxford United in the first week in February, unless other fixtures are announced between then.

2 or 3 yards out! That can't have helped him push for a first team place. :stunned:

V2 5UFC · Jan 20, 2015

I am involved with Maldon and when i heard he was on trial saturday I was shocked. We have some good players there but i wouldnt put him up there so seemed a strange one!

Corr would have scored that.

Pak Power · Jan 20, 2015

William's miss from 2/3 yards was a headed chance seemingly, and it was against Brighton under 21's

No .... he would still be getting into the box ..... according to some ......... :smiles:

Tommy's Mooney · Jan 20, 2015

Would have started with Boumrane as sub personally. Sounds like a good one to throw on in the second half? Even if we let him go he's bound to come back.

geoffmundo · Jan 20, 2015

How long did Deegan last..........?:winking:

Bearded Shrimper · Jan 20, 2015

could anyone add a bit more detail about the kids? Cotton, Scott, Adeyeye, Jordan Williams, Bexon & Gard I don't know much about other than Adeyeye is a fairly highly rated left back that Phil was on about earlier in the season

buffalowolf · Jan 20, 2015

Well if the trialist is only 19 i wouldnt think he would be challenging the others as yet for a 1st team game ,but does the lad show potential ,also how did Clifford go !

buffalowolf · Jan 20, 2015

And as for blowing up after 60 minutes ,i would think that would be expected as im sure the players at Maldon and Tiptree wouldnt be as fit as the SUFC players and pace also would have been a lot quicker

Just a couple of notes on those mentioned.

Cotton - Left footed winger. 2nd year scholar, would expect to hopefully push on and become a pro.
Scott - Right footed winger. 2nd year scholar, scores regularly and assists too in the youth and quite tricky too.
Adeyeye - Left full back. 2nd year scholar, who likes to get forward and support the winger. Not afraid to take players on and cross.
Jordan Williams - Right full back and 2nd year scholar. Same as above. Pretty pacey too.
Bexon - Goalkeeper. 1st year scholar and a good shot stopper.
Gard - Attacking midfielder. 2nd year scholar, due to his height and position he will get compared to Payne but he is more of a passer than a dribbler but his close control means he can take players on. Doesn't score as much as Payne or Bridge though.
