U-21 team for this afternoon

[Riverside]

Fulham Football Club ‏@FulhamFC  5m
U21 starting XI v @SouthamptonFC: Rodak; Passley, Grimmer, Donnelly, Baba; Plumain, Tunnicliffe, Sambou, Della Verde, Richards; Trotta

Trotta and Tunnicliffe have been found .
Cole is still missing .

[Lighthouse]

Still don't know how wise it is to have Tunnicliffe playing as he must be fed up and could sow the seeds of dissatisfaction.

I like the fact Trotta and Tunnicliffe are playing, maybe it is to put them in the window, but I bet they put in good performances....

Any updates would be appreciated guys

[@jolslover]

Anyone there? Anyone got any idea what the bench is looking like?

Wooden thing with arm rests at the ends.

Anyone know the result and who played?

Drew 1-1 (A-Freddie Plumain)

Team as above. Tunnicliffe played without, seemingly, disrupting anything.
Josh Smile got an outing.
Bench goalie was Dillon Barnes, apparently 18 year old from Barnet.

[aaronmcguigan]

Southampton website have the lineup slightly different

Fulham Under-21s: Marek Rodak, Joshua Passley, Jack Grimmer, Stephen Arthurworrey, Noe Baba (Buomesca Tue Na Bangna 55), Freddy Plumain, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Solomon Sambou (Joshua Smile 68), Lyle Della Verde (Jordan Evans 85), Tom Richards, Marcelo Trotta.
Substitutes: Dillon Barnes (GK), Liam Donnelly.

I wonder if FM was at the game, interesting few names in that team.

Also when does the U21 European league start, I will be interested to see how seriously we take that.

Why Tunnicliffe isn't around the first team but bloody Fotheringham is I have no idea. You'd think he'd be perfect alongside Hyndman in the narrow Diamond

[cmg]

Saints' report seems to suggest Arthurworrey played instead of Donnelly. The two are, of course, very similar (Arthurworrey is the one without the beard) so., we'll have to wait until our website catches up.

Drew 1-1 (A-Freddie Plumain)


Josh Smile got an outing.

Apologies for my ignorance, but why is this worth noting. I have not really heard the name before. Is him playing a good or bad thing?

[Pluto]

Really like Tunicliffe. Hate to see him fall victim to Magath's bizarre ostracisism of half the squad when he'd be a proven & valuable option in the middle.

[cmg]

Josh is only 17. Another of great promise.

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Josh is only 17. Another of great promise.

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up.... Good to hear

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

Excellent that both clubs have such good Acadamies (both set up by Huw Jennings) and if Saints and us continue along the same path, players from both teams today will be getting a sniff of top level football.

Interesting to see in a few years if we have a 'sell off' for 90 Million  !!

Remember this is the Tunnicliffe who was loaned out to Wigan last year who then discarded him immediately due to poor attitude at training/on the pitch. From what I saw of him, seems a good player but he may need to realise that he is not yet the best footballer in the world
