No.

Why not ?

 

[horshambees]

His full name is Gustavo Nunes Fernandes Gomes, so an easy mistake to make with Brazilians in their defence.

Either way, Nunes or Gomes, he was great tonight, as were all of them! Excellent job from Saunders and co.

He had a good game and was very impressive.

Why not ?

He has previuosly made the bench.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Made it out of the group which is a decent achievement, dont see us going much further but a good learning experience at least.

 

[GABS]

Apparently they were playing their stragglers, not anything close to their first XI

Crawley really are awful aren’t they?

And love the lower league Lino trying to get noticed by actually giving foul throws…

For those of you reminiscing about the good ole days, watch this for 20 minutes. It’ll cure you…

Not good, I agree. The established first team players are paid a lot of money, I was shocked when I checked.

Exactly

Fella behind us kept shouting take the 33 off.
Take the 44 off.
Etc etc
They had the names on the back of the shirts,but reading was not his specialist subject.

Oxford and new ground then, please.

Any idea when next round is due to be played?

Why not ?

We have other better options.

How do we progress the lad ?

I was impressed with the B Team last evening. Some of the football they played was a delight, regardless of what anyone says about the opposition. Nunes looked very good and has something about him. Also, NO VAR!!

 

[malkay]

Who's Nuñes? Does he mean Nunes?

Just be grateful he wasn't calling him ñuñes

 

[JosephBFC]

Impressive stuff. Very few U21 sides make it out of the group stage. We have managed to do it with half the B Team squad injured, no natural centre forward in the XI, and a 17 year old as our only available CB last night. And some of our football was a joy to watch. Very well done to Sam, all the staff and players. Hopefully there’s a decent Bees turnout for the next round, the lads deserve the support.
