Such a pity we'll probably never get to see any of them in the 1st team

They are simply not ready

Maswanhise impact sub and Braybrooke within the next 6 months ought to be really knocking on the door of the first team squad.

Delighted to see that Alves has signed his contract. I was worried considering where we are in the league that he might decide not to and look at his options. I think he’s a real talent. Especially as a winger or playing in the 10 position. He might not have shined as much as he’s capable of recently as he’s been asked to play as a DM to help develop the defensive side of his game.

Odunze made some very good saves there but also some really impressive play from us, Alves involved a lot which is pleasing to see.

I notice Odunze was in the warm up yesterday not Smithies

...he still worries me, it is like he has been coached by the same person who coaches Levell!!!

 If the ball his coming at you with pace and it is not easy to catch, just help it over the bar, do not parry it back into play.

William Ricky Flair Alves pulls one back! 2-1 down now 

[coolhandfox]

2-2 great fight back.....

[AjcW]

2-2! Maswanhise

[Lcfcwigstonblue]

So much excitement about Alves and rightly so but Braybrooke for me is the one who will go further.

[Lambert09]

3-2 up on pens atm

[Foxes1]

Won on penalties 4-2

Personally would prefer to see Alves, Maswasinhe or Braybrooke on the first team bench rather than one of the others...

I hope several of them make it properly here, there's every chance.

McAteer with the winning spot kick! Shame he didn't get to go out on loan again. Hopefully come January there will be a team interested.

 

Love how much it looks like this means to them.

 

 

 

[davieG]

The better we do and the further we go in this against FL teams the better chance of some decent loans as they will have shown they can compete

[Ric Flair]

I managed to catch the last 15-20 mins of this and the penalties. Great set of penos and Odunze was commanding. 

 

Alves had a couple of brilliant runs too. Shame I missed our two goals!!
