who is mandroiu?

Danny Mandroiu - he is the age group of a second year scholar (but actually signed a professional contract with the club in July). Despite the name he is Dublin born and raised (his father has Romanian heritage). He is a ROI U-18 international. He joined us from St Kevin's Boys in Dublin and has been with us since U-16 level. He is a midfielder, has been a regular in the U-18 side and has just started to become a part of the U-23 set-up. Was excellent in the 2-0 win over Derby County in the FA Youth Cup 3rd round in December.

Albion U23s actually start with a striker, and score after 7 minutes. Who'd have thunk it?

Great moment for 1st year scholar Aaron Connolly, scoring 7 minutes into his U-23 debut.

Nice to see a bit of a crowd in evidence (I'm watching on Seagulls Player - camerawork is a bit rusty, mind!)

That was Connolly's second, good finish, and good bit of tenacity and skill down the left by whoever set that up ... awaits @AZGull

No, second goal was an own goal. Lovely finish from Connolly for the third - he looks a talent :albion:
