System and style wise, is there similarity between Neil Critchley's Under 18s and Alex Inglethorpe's reserves team?
2-0 HT.
Good performance today against a decent Southampton side.
Plenty of good players out there -
Brannagan - this lad really is getting better and better at a rapid pace. Tough but talented, he wins the ball and plays it really sensibly and cleverly.
Chirivella: He looks a classy player. A holding midfielder who thinks positively.
Ryan Kent - pacy, strong, positive, always keen to go past players.
Harry Wilson - confidence is sky high after his Welsh debut, maybe a bit over-confident at the moment, but he scored another goal and played pretty well for much of the half.
Jerome Sinclair - back from injury and looking good. I've always liked him and thought he got a bit unfairly under-appreciated once Ibe arrived, as he unselfishly created acres of space for Ibe to exploit, but he's a classy-looking player who could well progress to the first team squad.
Trickett-Smith - another one I've liked for quite a while. He started as a creative midfielder but showed such an eye for goal they've tried him further up and even a couple of times as centre forward. The goal he scored today was very mature.

Yes, very much so. Obviously with someone like Teixeira there's a bit more guile in midfield with Inglethorpe's team, but in terms of shape and patterns of play there's a strong connection there.
Cheers mate, good to know. Is the goalie Crump new to the starting XI? Haven't really heard of him.
FT 3-3.
Very good first half, then we returned for the second looking strangely sloppy and alowed Southampton back into the game. Still would have won it if it hadn't been for a nightmare of mistake on 90 minutes.
Plenty of good performances, but Brannagan was outstanding for me.

1-0 after 4 minutes, Roddan.
Ibe puts in a cross, which is cleared and Roddan hits it on the volley off the post

Ngo'o is so difficult to play again - pretty quick, very physical. He can surely play a part somewhere down the line in the premier league
Teixeria with an easy finish after an excellent move from Ibe ... beats the fullback easily, and lays it on a plate for Teixeria.
2-0
2-0
Rossiter with the 3rd - good cross from Brad Smith, knocked back across the goal by Ibe and tapped in by Rossiter.
3-0
3-0
Rossiter just looks so 'natural' on the pitch. He just times everything so well - tackling, passing, his runs.
