While we might not all have worded it like that, you can see the point. We’re starting one of our ‘youth team’ the rest are players in and around the first team including some loanees. It’s no different to a reserve game of old, except it’s against Blackburn’s u21s rather than their reserves.
It’s a stupid idea for a competition and the club shouldn’t have entered it. But as we have there’s no criticism for anyone attending from me, but can definitely understand the annoyance at why such a game is taking place. |  |

Except we are only playing Edwards from the start. The scouts would be more likely to be watching them in the youth games.
It’s a game of football, but one played in a stupid competition that shouldn’t exist. | |

People are entitled to say why they disagree with it. If not, it’ll be seen as acceptable as a competition.
One of my main gripes is that we are risking setting a new low for an attendance for a competitive first team fixture. That’s an unwanted and unnecessary ‘record’. | |

Bad enough for lino to miss an offside goal for Brovers. | | | |

Which, if correct, is lower than the infamous Cambridge game in 1974.
Unless there’s another. | |

Did I read somewhere that entry is free for the game against Manchester United later in this competition? That might boost the attendance? | | | |

Yeah and they’re giving out tickets to schools and community groups which is a good idea. That should see a better crowd with it also being United.
The Wolves one in the first week in January could see half as many as tonight unless that’s free, with a pie and a 20 minute sub appearance for everyone who brings boots. | |

The camera also needs wiping, there's a dull patch in the middle of it and it's definitely not a isolated patch of fog. It's more noticeable at half time. |  | | |

I hate to think what the camera's being used for between games... |  |

Particularly tinpot as the NL TV messaged asking for the lens to be wiped. 2-1 to Dale | | | |

Somebody must have found a hanky, it's been wiped now..halfway through the game. Why didn't they do it earlier?😀 | | | |

3-1 now - a brace for Barlow and either the fog has lifted or the camera has warmed up. | | | |

It doesnt exist according to the fixture list on this site.
Under any reasonable interpretation this is a reserve game.
Are PL and Champ clubs entering teams in both this comp and the comp v league 1 and 2 teams? | | | |

Quite a decent game from our lot irrespective of comments herein.
151 for our no 40 too. | | | |

4-1 Henderson- the players not celebrating goals. Basically it’s a friendly - but one we should gain some confidence from. A win, is a win. | | | |

2 quid in a bit of footy and a few goals. Fringe players and new guys getting some minutes. Quite enjoyed it. Low key. We've a big squad, so I think good to put players out that aren't getting many minutes.
Played like a friendly game, but we still wanted to put in a performance, as a result 4 goals. Well done the players. [Post edited 5 Nov 22:18]
