Argyle U 23 v Exeter U23 Premier League Cup Match thread

[mutley marvel]

atWe're being completely outclassed and lucky it's only 1-0.

Tbf, without knowing much about either team, it seems like Exeter's is mostly players aged around 21 who have played men's football out on loan at non league clubs, where as ours is youth teamers of 17/18.

As you'd expect with that age difference, they're just much faster and stronger, particularly the centre backs compared to our strikers Shirley and Massey who aren't getting a kick. Randell and Law are more able to compete physically and look our best players.

Hopefully tempting fate by suggesting that we're very unlikely to get back in the game, which would be a shame for the younger lads' development.

You are right- Exeter have a couple of over 20 year olds in & around their 1st team- one of whom got sent off at Harrogate at the weekend
They are also playing a 33 year old who is using the game for match fitness - you can see the gulf between the 2 teams
Lets see what our young lads can do in the 2nd half

Freddie Issaka is on for Massey.

Woops, forgot this was on AND that it was on Argyle TV.

Beats working... though maybe not by the sounds of it.

 

[Biggs]

Etan Mitchell is a big unit isn't he?? Don't think I've seen him in the flesh. How old is he? Size isn't everything but always useful at the back. Good time to score. COYGs!!

 

[ealinggreen]

Considering he is only 17 , Waruih looks promising.

 

[Biggs]

Would expect Randell to be dominating the game a bit more.

 

[Sidewinder]

Good to see an Argyle side delivering decent corners

 

[Biggs]

Think the cameraman is falling asleep.

 

[Ottawa Green]

Argyle score but ref waves it off
