Subject: [u21] Vs Moldova

TV Studio

Tomorrow sees us playing a crucial match against a very tricky Moldovan side. I've made a few changes to the starting 11, dropping players in certain positions if they are low in stamina or not as well-rounded as others available.

Here is the last 16 in alphamabetical order :

Bruce Banks
Del Bradridge
Gubby Butts
Chris Duxbury
Ricky Ganderton
Kirk Hoddinot
Josh Kilvane
Luke Moggs
Leo Pell
Clive Reeder
Louis Sully
Fraser Smerdon
Dave Swaffer
Joseph Tranter
Tim Wint
Riley Woods

I will drop a link to the TV studio tomorrow.

Good luck!!

Ta !

Well done nowichcitynil :)

Great win for England, nice to see my striker make his debut Dave Swaffer

Good luck for the next games

Nice win, congratulations Sir NCN. ;)

Thanks ! Couldn't have done it without a large slice of luck or two, not to mention some very nice scouting by a certain west ham fan we all know... ;).

A thoroughly enjoyable evening, fish and chips for tea, glass of wine, and then switching between the euro qualifier on the itv website and the match here !

On another night Moldova could have won that though, i was very worried a couple of times, they could have scored 4. This England team won't beat the best U-21 sides, not while we're conceding 2 every game anyway.

Here's the group standings after tonights' games :

England 12-6 10
Swiss 10-1 8
USA 14-4 7
Moldova 10-7 5
Luxem'g 5-20 3
Vietnam 2-15 0

The next 2 games are England - Lux, Moldova - Viet, and Suiss - USA.

Hopefully Suiss and USA will cancel each other out and we'll have a nice easy 2 horse race. I'm hopeful of 6 points from the Luxembourg games no matter what.


Edit : oops, gave Moldova too many points...
