Lost 0 – 3 but I quite enjoyed it.
Pleased with the youngsters.

[MK Iron]

All the young lads did well with a number doing very well.

Not a fan of letting Premier League youth teams into the competition but good experience for our young players.

Lost 0-3 and a complete waste of time and £10, it was more or less a youth team match, and that bloody commentator that used the word DEFINITELY “267 times” during the 90 mins, was more than one could bare, often a few times every minute it was DEFINITELY. or YES DEFINITELY.

I feel that I shall DEFINITELY wake up in the middle of the bloody night screaming DEFINITELY.

Good to see so many young players given minutes on the pitch, but there is a time and place for this, maybe three trainees out of the eleven, but seven or eight is too much, never mind we still have the FA Cup first round to play before our 2021 season is over.

All depends if experience is used to their benefit.

Not sure it will.

You are correct Sanfran, the League team will still consist of Hippo, Green, Rowe and party, the young guys will probably get a couple of ten minute periods during the season.

Disagree, some of them already have been used, and I’m sure the likes of Pugh and Wilson will get more game time as the season progresses, to add to Rowe’s and O’Malley’s experience from last year.

You can’t really count the academy players and I’ve not seen enough of Jessop, Gallimore and Shrimpton to form an opinion as yet.

With the U23s shelved this competition is the only chance these lads will get to taste competitive football so let’s not get too uptight about it.

BS – you wouldn’t have had to listen to the commentary if you’d gone to the match. With just 860 in attendance there would have been plenty of parking space and you’d have got a seat that wasn’t behind one of the stanchions!

Good experience for what was essentially our ‘under 21’ side.

No surprise that some of the best young talent in the world were better than us.

8 of those who featured for us were 19 or under.

What I am thinking Northumbiron is that it was a long 90 mins just watching it on IFollower and listening to “Definitely” during the full 90 mins, by the way who was that Definitely guy, it was said by the other commentator that suggested that he was a Scunny player that is out injured, saying that, that covers about 8 players ha ha!

Your suggestion regarding me attending that game Northumbiron, there was never ever any chance of that, but with my luck, I would have probably have selected a seat just near “DEFINITELY”, one advantage though was that I would Definitely have left after 70 minutes at the most. I just cannot get this bloody definitely word out of my mind, I am just hoping that it does not effect my nights sleep, although the guy would definitely have been practically speachless without those 267 DEFINITELY’S, there I go again, I am really hooked now.

Please put me out of my misery, PLEASE who was that bloody commentator??????????????????????

[Awaywego]

Why are you still giving Swanny your money BS?.

[Kenny Spennymoor]

Barton it was Kenyon on commentary, definitely.

[mistertonmick]

It was James Moody and Alex Kenyon in the Radio Humberside Bay doing commentary, Kenyon has a scouse accent so I will let you guess who was doing the main bit because I didn’t hear it, I had a little chat with Alex before the game and he is a real nice bloke to talk to, he said he is nearly fit to play now.

[mistertonmick]

Also Bartonscorpian, there were 6 lads making their first ever start in a first team shirt and 3 more had game time so apart from Davis, Onaraise and Hippolyte the only other experienced players were O’Malley and Rowe so seeing Palmer played 21 minutes for City on Saturday against Norwich and I think 2 or 3 others have had first team experience in preseason friendlies they probably had more experience than quite a few of ours, our lads gave a good account of themselves but you could tell a difference, and when an opponent scores a worldy it did deflate the team for a while,and we had a goal disallowed for some reason, but we played quite well second half and they scored late on after young Collins parried the ball out to their player after making a good save, but he played well and made some good saves, Poulter looks impressive and puts himself about and will be one for the future, I think Jessop needs to go out on loan I don’t think he is ready for first team football yet.

[bartonscorpion]

Yes Mick, I do not have any problem with the effort put in by our young players, and it will have done them good for the experience, but if I had wanted to watch a youth match I would do so, but do you not think that eight is too many for what is supposed to be a first team game, I DEFINITELY do mate.

It sounds as if it was DEFINITELY young Kenyon who used the word every other word he spoke, some one should DEFINITELY have a quiet little word with him, bless him.

Not definitely fit to play yet then?

He could do to lose a bit of weight and hopefully become more mobile but I guess he is what he is.

Is that for DEFINITE Mick?????, a nice lad, but will Definitely not make a radio commentator, that is for DEFINITE, I am feeling very tired today because I definitely had a bad nights sleep last night, and woke up screaming three times.

And he certainly needs to learn a few new words Iron-awe, he definitely does.
