Championship side Brentford want Chris Willock on loan for the season. I reckon it'd be a good move for him. Still not sure if he's really ready for the aggression that comes with proper football but he'd definitely learn a thing or two, even if he doesn't necessarily light it up in the pitch.

Hope our guys speak to their guys about playing time, there's is literally no point in sending a guy to another club for a loan only for that player to hardly feature. Gnabry literally lost an entire year whilst at W.Brom.

You literally shouldn't use the word literally.

Best to just not send any players to Pulis as he is a bloody toe rag anyway.

Crowley's goal last night. Nice. Love this kid.

i like this new u23 format. based on how we look, no player on the field is above this level. even the jeff who is dribbling around liverpool for fun is failing when he gets to the final 1/3. this is a good level for them. you can see why akpom didn't score much on loan.

Decent goal from Ainsley Maitland-Niles for the England U20s the other day.

What's up with Maitland-Niles, speaking of? Why wasn't he promoted to the first team this season?

I saw something the other day, can't remember what, that made me think he's getting converted into a full-back. I don't really know whether this is a good move for him, or us, but my feeling is that it's easier to get into our squad in that area rather than as a forward/winger/midfielder.

PSG U19 vs Arsenal U19 is live on BT Sports. 1700 Kick-off. Hoping to get home in time to watch it, but there should be a lot of streams around for it as well. I'll post one here for anyone that's interested.

Let me know how Ikone does.

Now Malen misses a sitter after a good cut back from Willock.

Their lads seem stronger, more athletic and, worst of all, more skillful than ours.

Yup, a clear level above. Bielik the exception.

Willock and Nelson are better than anything they have in my opinion. Unfortunately our centre midfielders aren't quite up to it and so there's no platform to build from.

Nketiah should have won the game but his finish was really tame. Decent point for the kids. Home support counts for a lot at this level.

Fantastic draw thanks to mental strength.
