Very enjoyable game this.

Beilik looks off it but another step towards fitness for him.

Yeah, it will take him a while to get back to full fitness. He is a lot bigger than everyone out there though, his size alone has won him the ball a few times. Good tackle/block when they attacked a few mins ago, knocking it out for a corner. Seemed to limp a bit after, suggests his muscles are being stretched today. Again, a good thing.

Ibe looks to have very fast feet and very slow legs. He's obviously a few weeks away, but he's going to be some signing.

Beilik clearly playing well within himself - and so he should.

He's carrying a bit of weight to be sure but what a footballing brain underneath it,you can see why he fitted like a glove into the 2014 squad.

Even if this heads to a draw I'd love the first team to be playing like this....great attacking,strong but fair challenges and maximum enthusiasm.

It's just nice to watch.

Pretty much every team at this level seems to play the same game.

It's great to watch, but there's not a great deal of emphasis on defensive tactics from anyone, most games are end to end and it's very rare you'll see an U23 / U18 team try to shut out the game. Lots of space for attacking play, so naturally it shines.

If you could convince every other Championship team to play their U23 squad & tactics every match you might be onto something.
