The development squad are playing at Swansea City tonight in the opening league fixture of the PDL 2 South (not that you would know it from the club; the fixtures aren't even on the official site, and nothing tweeted).

The side is (and thanks to Swansea City's official site for the info):-Walton; Barry, Richards, Dunk (capt), Chicksen; Joshua Barton, Starkey, Ince, March; Barker, Dickenson. Subs: Smith, Hunt, Rea, Asmundsson, Goodwin.

Joshua Barton is a trialist who was released by Aston Villa in the summer. He is 19, a right-sided midfielder who is meant to be pacy; also a Northern Ireland U-19 international.

Albion have taken the lead through Chicksen (a clearance cannoned off him into the net).

Playing 442 then. I thought each team in the BHAFC ladder was meant to play 433 as part of some continuity thing?

Argus also mentioned Jesse Starkey who is a trialist from Chelsea.

Seems to be a local lad: Jesse signed as an Under-12 after leaving Portsmouth and hails from Brighton. A diminutive left-footed midfielder, he is technically very strong and controls the tempo of a game. He is also adept at free-kicks.

Solly is probably playing the Buckley role.

Would say that was just the way it has been written. Much more likely to be March and Dickenson on the wings with Barker though middle.

Interesting to see Walton start over Smith who I'm pretty sure was the DS No 1 last season

Didn't we pay a fair bit to plymouth for Walton? £200k rings a bell

I know that Josh Barton is on trial. Very pacey right sided midfielder. Surprised Villa let him go to be honest

Injury-time volley by Rohan Ince earned #bhafc development squad their 2-1 win. Good couple of weeks for him.

Nice bit of revenge. I recall them smashing the development squad last season at the Amex. I think thats correct?

Yep, they beat Albion 4-1. I seem to remember that LuaLua had a bit of a mare, but then pulled his socks up and came on as a sub at the Valley and scored against Charlton the following weekend.
