How long did Hyam play for?.. I thought SCP's idea was to give him 45 minutes, 60 minutes max.

60 minutes according to the Echo.

SOUTHEND United’s under 23 side suffered a convincing 6-1 defeat against MK Dons yesterday.

How can a 6-1 defeat be "convincing"? Hmmm...

 

[southendkid]

The Shrimpers were missing players involved with last night’s FA Cup clash at Crawley

Is CP a time traveller?

 

[RobM]

I'll tell you yesterday!

 

[Grapevine]

None of the 18s have featured in a 23s game apart from Portsmouth away when the 23s were missing several players due to the Checkatrade game on the same day!

They certainly weren't missing any KEY players from the 18s!!!

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United coach Kevin Maher praised the efforts of his young players - despite them failing to hang on for victory against AFC Wimbledon.

I'm not greatly up on the U23's defence.

Are Clifford and Pianam centre-halves and if so, are either potentially showing 1st team signs yet?

 

[Floval Flyer]

Hutchinson is surely going to be the next breakthrough player, potentially bigger impact than Dru.

Not sure how big he is or if he can play up front? If so, Cox would be a great mentor for the lad..

I believe Clifford is a LB and Pianam is a CB. Curran sounds to be impressing in defence and was loaned out to Braintree, then got injured playing for our u23s, but looks like he is back to full fitness.

 

[AndyT]

MO, Chapperz.

I will get along sometime to see them in action. They are the next generation and I hope that in the not too distant future more of them will be integrated into the 1st team as we progress.

 

[Barling Magna]

"Blues opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with Hutchinson firing home after great approach play from Norman Wabo."

We have two promising young players here. Given our current position with injuries why not give them a go in a first team match.....?

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United starlet Isaac Hutchinson is hoping for more first team minutes after another impressive showing for the under 23s.
