Albion U-23s return to league action for the first time in 3 weeks tonight as they face leaders Swansea City in Wales.

Albion have drawn their last 4 league games and have the best defensive record in the division, having conceded only 6 goals. The trouble has been scoring goals, with only 5 netted (joint lowest along with bottom club Norwich City).

Line-ups - Rob Hunt plays in the centre of defence and James Tilley leads the line:-

A Brighton youth set up creating solid defensive players and a lack of attacking players who would have thought it.

Playing a 4-1-4-1 formation? What happened to the idea of playing the same way all through from youth teams to the first team?

That was in the Sussex Senior Cup. I will admit to not being sure how cautions and red cards in County Cup competitions are handled with regard to other reserve/youth team football; it is possible his suspension will only apply to the Sussex Senior Cup. Does anybody know for sure?

Perhaps I'm just ignorant but it seems we have no strikers playing? Perhaps that's why we're not scoring goals! I count four defenders and a bunch of wingers and midfielders but no out and out strikers.
[MENTION=1276]AZ Gull[/MENTION] correct me :)

The only out-and-out strikers we have in the development squad are Vahid Hambo (who is recovering from injury) and Jonah Ayunga (who is on loan at Burgess Hill). I guess you might consider Jordan Maguire-Drew a striker - he's on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge.

Tilley is the closest thing we have to a striker available (previously this season we have played Joe Ward up top).

Isn't Harper a striker of sorts? Also what happened to that guy we had last year (from Spurs I think) Adeykibi or something (apologies can't remember his name at all)?

Jonah Ayunga who I think is on loan at Burgess Hill.

I view Harper as playing a similar role to Tilley, to be honest. I wouldn't describe either as being out-and-out strikers.

Daniel Akindayini was released at the end of last season. He joined Margate and moved on loan to Leatherhead a couple of weeks ago.

Wouldnt Ayunga be better off playing against professionals, all be it U21's, rather than opponents of a lower standard than the level he came from ?
