Tomorrow's match
A few questions:-
- What is the point of this match?
- Will we field a full strength team? - think we have to according to the rules!
- Will anyone attend?
- Does anyone care?
The FA (or is it the FL?) have destroyed the purpose of this competition. I remember the Sherpa Van and whatever it was called when Bristol City whopped us and I enjoyed those Wembley trips. I hope they get Wolves U23s v Derby U23s in the final.
The next two Saturdays are much more important to us.
Anyway, I'll be there; hopefully to see a win. Could be embarrassing if we lose.

How can they justify putting us under an embargo, restricting our squad size and then telling us we can't make changes from a match played days after we picked up injuries.
Think the kids have more to prove anyway and Woolery trying would surely be more dangerous than Madine at 50% fit. It's 7pm im amazed it isn't Leyland. They need to have a rethink of the whole thing. Especially when you can get Blackburn Rovers U23s.
I imagine any fine that we are threatened with would be overruled by any sensible court or judge, but shouldn't be making the threats anyway.

And Proctors been subbed after 20 mins, does that mean he's injured too? |

1-0 down at half time but more worrying is that Proctor has gone off hope that it ain't to serious .

Wasn't really bothered at all about the game so I can't really complain about the result!!
Only thing is, that was almost our first choice 11😳

Well that was awful.
Outplayed by a set of young lads. When they all shook hands before kick off, all our players were bigger than Evertons but they totally out skilled us.
We played at a pedestrian walking pace and continually passed back or sideways.
Two shots on target. We had nearly all the possession in the second half but had one Wilkinson header and an awful miss by Madine.
They scored a good shot from outside the box; but we let him shoot and then a header from a corner when our giants just stood and watched.
Points from the game:-
Chris Taylor is awful. Total flop in central midfield.
Conor Wilkinson is no good.
Woolery missed his opportunity to impress
We struggle desperately to create.

Interesting comment there davidm "They scored a good shot from outside the box; but we let him shoot and then a header from a corner when our giants just stood and watched" Isn't that what happened v Charlton?? We let him shoot... |

Marks from tonight's dreadful performance
Howard - 6 - couple of decent saves
Wilson - 5 - a real struggle
Beavers - 5 - who was marking for their second goal from the corner
Buxton - 6 - some decent pace
A Taylor - 6 - didn't stand out when he got the chance
Vela - 7 - looked quite good as holding midfielder
Perry - 6 - played midfield not full back as Marc Iles said. Reasonable.
Earing - 6 OK but couldn't impose himself
C Taylor - 2 - absolute dreadful.
Woolery - 4 - failed to take his chance
Wilkinson - 4 - one header and a couple of dribbles which led to nothing
Spearing - 5 - one decent long pass but didn't exert himself
Madine - 5 - actually made Everton's defence work but then missed the easiest of all chances
I think my marks are too high really because we were slow, ponderous, lacking in desire and downright poor
Everton's youngsters are good but we were stronger and should have been able to control them, particularly second half, but we had no desire..

So the general opinion is that we went thro the motions without putting ourselves in risk of injury , seems sensible to me with the small squad we've got .
