I wondered if it was Osazee Aghatise...

...but, if it is, he’s had his hair cut since the Barnsley U23s game. He looks like the same player who scored in the Kidderminster Harriers game.

He's a midfielder though, been around some time and I can't recall him being that tall. This guy was playing the number 9 role and appeared much taller.

Maybe he's grown and we've reinvented him as a centre forward! 

It's really hard to tell with the very brief highlights, camera angles etc.

Exactly. That’s why I’m not convinced it’s Aghatise. Think you’re probably right about it being one of the Trialists.

At least when the league matches start we will get team announcements - and hopefully live streams as well. 

I said something on twitter in response to an academy post about how easy it would be to allow social distancing for spectators at academy games and the academy admin liked my tweet so I am hopeful that it is at least being discussed.

U18s lost 2-1 to Burton on Saturday.

Watching the higlights I'm suprised we only scored 1. Cybulski missed a penalty, we missed a few sitters, hit the woodwork twice, and the keeper pulled off a couple of top saves. Their goals coming from a FK and a deflected shot on the break.

Yes, it was a typical performance and result against Burton, that one!

Do you know who anyone was? Don’t think I recognised a single player other than Cybulski 

The number 15 impressed me whoever that was (albeit 5 minute highlights ?)

Can’t miss Cybulski. Could see him from miles. Didn’t help he missed about 5 sitters.

At a distance, it looks like this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Shaibu

Vaguely recognise him from many of the random non-league games I've attended. It would make sense as he's recently been 'let go' by Brentford.

Not short of confidence if it is:

Shaibu stated that he likes "to think I play like Romelu Lukaku. I have got great pace, a lot of energy, a lot of power and I am a great finisher"

#2 Bardell
#4 Matthews
#9 Cybulski
# 10 Rogers

It looked like we played Roberts in goal for the first half and Randle for the second.
