Under 23's at Lancing tomorrow

[AZ Gull]

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.

Which Davies is it? New signing or youth teamer?

There is a Davies on the bench, but we have no idea if it is Jordan or Archie. Jesse Starkey returns from injury:-

Apparently it is our new signing Jordan on the bench (rather than Archie).

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!)

The Hammers line-up:-

Fletcher and Browne are pretty useful and have played first team. Oxford has too, but looks as if he was over hyped a few years back. (Edit: Just checked and he's still only 18! I'll let him off)

For those watching on Seagulls Player, here are the shirt numbers:-

Hammers own goal wasn't it?

Fletcher is supposed to be playing for us isn't he?

I think Connolly scored the second as well

It was an own goal by Declan Rice.

Jordan Davies on for his Albion debut.

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

 

[bhanutz]

Yup!
