Rovers in full control won 2-1. Liverpool manager says it was the worst performance of the season so we must have done something well Gave away a sloppy goal 10 min before the end. Keeper came flappin

Chaddy, it is impossible to defend the kick-off time for the Burnley game.  It's another kick in the teeth for supporters.  I can attend but friends who work can't attend.  If I had been working I wou

I've seen both on several occasions.  For me Wharton reminds me a bit of Tom Cairney. Box-to-box midfielder who can control a game with his classy passing. Left footed and looks like he has all t

Maybe Pasha just advises/dictates which ones "are ready", seeing as he is "responsible for the academy"

 

 

So Pasha is responsible for employing people, who he states, could not recognise that as a youth Adam Wharton was a talent !

I googled his name, and I couldn't find a 16 year old footballer...but I did find what seems to be a 16 year old basketballer...hope we're not just swapping looking for pace with looking for height!

Looks like the same kid probably as they have the same birthday. Now that I think about it, I think it's Turkey where they sometimes have clubs that do both basketball and football for some reason.

Yep a lot of those clubs have multiple sporting disciplines, as do Barcelona.

Seems like a very difficult game given their signings and start to their season - and Rovers relative weakness. Last season we added a few new faces (albeit, they turned out to have very disappointing seasons and Mafoumbi was cut eventually). This season, no new additions, save for possible U18 graduates.

I suppose Rovers are fortunate that they're in this PL2 Super League, with no relegation or promotion.

Edit: That said, there's some promise in the Rovers squad - the major weakness lies in the depth and in the forward areas, with too much expected too soon of Tyjon.

Michalski - any chance he could play? He needs game time one way or another.

I don't think he will given we have a senior game tomorrow. The under 21 game against Everton on Monday would have been ideal for him to play in but Goddard was picked instead. I think Barrett will play tonight as Goddard has been the third choice in first team games so far.

It will be interesting to see what happens when/if Pears is available.

Is he?

I was under the impression they were trying to loan him out to save a few quid and had essentially frozen him out until he agrees to the loan

He played last week for them. 

Maybe he is with the first team at Hull or maybe he is close to loan move 

He's at Ewood watching the game saw someone post it on X.

Does this result keep our record up of every Rovers side at every level losing all there games so far this season?

The first thing to say is that Brighton were excellent. They were quicker in movement and mind, stronger and certainly more skilful. Ordinarily that would tell the story of a 4-0 defeat but the truth is not one Rovers player (except Batty who was ok) comes out with any credit.

We lacked cohesion, application and at times attitude. It was certainly the most inept I have seen our under 21's for a long time and baffling after a decent performance on Monday against Everton although there were some changes.

We ended up with Wood as a central striker and Strich just behind him so the absolute dearth of strikers doesn't just apply to the first team.

Hopefully the under 18 boys can smash the Dingles today and restore some pride to the Academy.

Totally agree arbitro.  I thought there was a huge gulf between the two teams.  As you say, Brighton were big, strong and quick but all seemed to have the ability to control the ball, pass the ball and looked to be well organised in terms of shape and movement.  

Sadly, I couldn't see one player in that team who I would be happy to put in the first team squad - and if we get any sort of injuries and suspensions we will be relying upon them to make up the numbers.

Like the first team, there is no threat in front of goal.  

Two big home games for the Under-18's coming up - Burnley today and Fulham in the Cup on Tuesday.  They will be interesting tests for our youngsters.
