Anyone else go to the game?
Boro were the better team throughout. Individually our players seemed miles ahead in terms of development, and could have been 4 nil up in the first 30 minutes. I know it's easy to be biased but we lost the game through very soft decisions and general bad luck in my opinion.
Charlie Lennon looks like he's the next youth player to come through the ranks. Just turned 18 but looked very experienced compared to the players around him.
Eric Hamelberg was also very good on the ball - I'm surprised I haven't seen him mentioned before going to the game. Possibly my MOTM.
Hakeem Bakura looks like one of those strikers who can go unnoticed all game but still get on the scoresheet. He scored two last night.
I also liked the look of our full back, Prince Acheampong, who assisted the first goal. Finn Cartwright looked controlling in midfield too, against potentially Newcastle's best player.
Highly recommend going to see a U18 game if you get the chance.
