U-18s quarter final v Blackpool tomorrow night (if the weather behaves).

Blackpool selling quite a few tickets it would seem.
£4 adults, £2 concessions.
Can’t use season tickets for this match.

Slightly related .............. I came home from Lisbon today surrounded on the plane by the FC Porto U23 team who are playing Liverpool's U23's this week. All dressed the same with the same trainers they looked a smart and well presented outfit. Very few white lads amongst them which I suppose is a sign of the times I guess.

A Rovers sending off after 58 minutes and two late goals for Blackpool . Tough night for Rovers youth

"The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Tough luck lads but well done all the same.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Let’s hope the first team get revenge on Saturday

A few home truths for the youth team from their coach.
Quite right too, no point mollycoddling them

"It is a great learning experience, don’t ever underestimate an opposition and turn up and play when you want because it doesn’t work like that."

Amen to that although he should also have accepted some blame himself for that 1st half showing as 'his name is over the door' after all.
Furthermore 'every day is a school day' so the same message needs to be transmitted to the first team too! We have let way too many 1st half 'soft' goals in this season through carelessness plus lack of concentration and effort in defence..... Mulgrew excepted.

Tonight we are out of the Lancashire Senior Cup after a penalty shoot-out, despite fielding quite a few first team fringe players.
