Yes apparently so. U23s lost 4-0 v Fulham too. Anyone know why the club don't report this? Apart from the obvious that we keep getting stuffed. |  |

I heard that too, same day as our under under 23's lost 4-0 to Fulham.
Warbs is unconcerned as apparently neither keeper had anything to do. |  |

"Warbs is unconcerned as apparently neither keeper had anything to do."
Excellent/witty post 10 out of 10 for that.

I remember about 4 or 5 years ago there were similar posts like this.
4 or 5 years later we have a first team squad packed with youth graduates.
Results unimportant. A lot of U23s have stepped up, so chances are we fielded a very, very young side. |  |

Yes that's my first thought. We've been putting our best youngsters out on loan or in the first team squad, which has presumably put younger players in the U23s, basically giving them experience of playing at a higher level. I'd have thought that's a good thing.
The coaches genuinely don't get concerned about results at that level, it's much more about development. |  | | |

This is very true and we are of course seeing some wonderful players coming through the ranks with the first thought being to attack and play football.
However I'm one hairs width away from wondering whether this attitude from the coaches permeates it's way, in respect of defending and defensive duties, right the way to the first team squad. Maybe if you've never been roasted about conceeding goals your danger radar is switched off and a shrug of the shoulders is accepted?
Who knows but those in charge and they are to be trusted fully. |  |

I would love to hear what Smegma thinks about this. QPR under 18's were bottom of their league last season. Although results aren't the be all being bottom of a league with the likes of Colchester and Leyton Orient can't be be good. I would have hoped their would have been a better striker coming through than Oteh, that could have been given a chance in the pre season friendlies. | | | |

Well it's a decent point that conceding lots of goals can become normalised if it happens across the board - but shouldn't we be scoring at least 9? | | | |

Although I would split hairs and say 'the wonderful players' have not come through our ranks but joined half way through. |  | | |

Can't we just wait for them to release their team and sign them up?
Be interesting to see the line-ups - not unknown for teams to field really strong sides if looking to get players match minutes etc. Hope we didn't do that mind! |  | | |

The score is never mentioned in the changing room afterwards. The coaches genuinely don’t care because it’s absolutely irrelevant in the context of what they are trying to do. Most other clubs worry about it and try and win as many games as possible but it’s pointless because it drives the wrong behaviours. At that level / age you want the players to be under pressure to see learn how to cope with it and work out how to deal with it. | |

Surely out of our brilliant coaches we have they would know how to defend corners , set pieces and players running in behind them |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

West Ham U23 5 v QPR U23 0
https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/september/02-september/highlights-west-
No idea who played, but our pathways tend to mean our U23s have lots of U18's playing as the good U23's are pulled forward to the first team squad. As indeed our U18's team has a lot of young players as the good one's are playing out of their age group, for the U23's
As for West Ham their U23's are probably stacked with older players who just don't get a chance to breakthrough to their first team [Post edited 7 Sep 2020 19:22]

Yes I saw the 10 nil thing earlier. Slightly concerning on top of the multiple U23 batterings. |  |

I recall reading / listening to an interview from a QPR coach last season (can’t recall who - maybe chris Ramsey?) that generally in the younger teams, coaches don’t really care much about the results and in fact if there is a player that they’re looking to stress test, they even set up to expose that player.
Hopefully we were not stress testing a new goalkeeper, or we may have found another one with the breaking strain of a kitkat |  | | |

To be fair a 10-0 is a bit of an eyeopener. Even barnstoneworth would be disappointed with that result

It’s meaningless. As others said above, it could have been a stress test on a player or two.
Same as the 1st XI friendlies v West Ham and Chelsea. Didn’t even bat an eyelid about the scoreline.
Had it been a League or Cup game then yes, I’d have been really narked off. But they weren’t. | | | |

I did wonder something similar when I heard Warbs interview. In direct response to the question of the defence he went on about the missed chances. I am all for attractive attacking football but we do need to be able to defend as well. |  | | |

In fairness CCJ he also spoke about poor defending and said that we needed to be ruthless in both boxes. |  |
