Subject: [u21 NT] Friendlies
Yesterday I fielded our u20 side against Cameroon.
Despite Tsepo Davies getting sent off after only 5 minutes, leaving the right hand side of our defence completely vulnerable, the youngsters went on to dominate the match.
The defensive mid gap allowed Cameroon to have more shots at goal than I would have liked, but they only managed to convert 1 of their 13 chances while we managed to slot 5 of our 22.
19 year old George Cameron managed to shut out his more experienced strike partner, Charles Roskruge, and scored all 5 himself.
Next week we're up against Poland. For us to qualify, not only will we have to beat Poland and Macedonia, but Latvia would have to lose to both Vietnam and Poland. That being the case, maybe the boys can have some fun against the big guns next week and hope for the best. We gave them a fair fight in the opening match, going down 2-5, though it's fair to say they were too strong for us.

Last weeks friendly was abandoned when Senegal didn't field a full team.
This week we have a friendly against Armenia (Hayastan). I'm going to field the team that was meant to play last week.
