Is this pitch grass with a higher than usual artificial mix?
Commentator talking about drainage in this rain and I can't see any black bits flying up like on a 4g pitch. But it's not cutting up at all.

Edit: can see mud on some socks.

Definitely grass but not sure of the artificial mix. Was only laid/made a few years ago (3?) so will have good drainage.

I'm impressed with the referee. Not blowing up for everything. I'd like to see this sort of official at a premier league game.

Some good build-up play but a poor final ball. Sounds familiar.

My old Sunday League managers would have told someone to stand on their number 4. He could be smoking a cigar and reading a paper for all the pressure we've put on him/

Yeah, I can see now from the mud on our white socks. Looks in absolutely fantastic condition and no cutting up at all during the heavy rain. Perfect for nice one touch football.

Been a good game to watch so far. Be even better of course if we can get back in it.

Albion looking good when they move the ball quickly , some of the build up play seems too slow to me .
Hope they move whatever it is that's blocking the camera seeing the area near the corner flag !

Winder what the formation will be? Does that line up indicate that Packham is playing at LB and Furlong moves up into midfield? Maybe:

McGill
Offiah Tsongui Turns Packham
Leonard Spong Furlong
Moran
Tolaj Ferguson​

......... or maybe Moran dropping back to make a 4-4-2. I do sometimes wonder why the U23s don't pay 3 at the back, with wingbacks, like the first team usually do - I'd've thought that would be a natural progression sort of thing to do. Obviously, the people in charge know what they're doing, and why - but it would be interesting if any NSCers had any theories. Anyway, hoping for a cracking win tonight - as we may not be so happy this time tomorrow!

Crofts talked about this in an interview a few months ago. He said that because the first team have to be adaptable in formation there's no point asking u23's to be in positions they are less comfortable with. The important thing was the playing style rather than the set up formation-wise.

City, unsurprisingly look a very good u23 side.

That centre back captain looks ridiculously composed. It's not the wildest prediction ever to say he'll go on to have a top level career
