development squad beat Wigan today

[she wolf]

The young pro's + Jarvis beat Wigan today 3-1, I didn't go and watch as I didn't know it was on, my neighbour's lad went in to watch and gave me the low down, McAlinden scored 2 and price scored 1, their goal was an own goal by Landell, Jarvis played about 60 mins, apparently we were far the better team McAlinden was very good he stood out and the back 4 were very good ,Kostner, Ebans-Landell, Ikiekwe and Rekord (which is refreshing LOL).sorry thats all I have.

That McAlinden sounds like a really good prospect, any chance of being in the squad Saturday if Siggy is apparently injured?

Promising reading for Brighton/Norwich/Bolton* fans in five years time.

 

[Dewsburywolf]

No Hamill?

 

[AW]

Sounds encouraging even though they failed to beat Kidderminster a few weeks ago didn't they?

Also, has anything come of that behind closed doors game that the Blunts wanted?

 

[she wolf]

No Hamill?

Pretty sure not, but that Kello played and was decent.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Am I missing something? Why was Jarvis with the kids?

 

[BoltonWolf]

Jarvis played?!?

Back from a groin strain.

 

[Dewsburywolf]

Jarvis played?!?

Fulham asked us to prove he was fit

Just put McAlinden in the squad on Saturday.

Friendly win

Report here on a good win for the reserves:

It gives the team, unlike the Wolves report. I wonder if a few of these players are about to take the step up into the first team squad. Would be an ideal season to blood them. That's two excellent wins in their preseason.

 

[JOSWolf]

Price seems to have had a good couple of games recently.

Surely there can't be any harm in given McAlinden a go on Saturday?

I totally agree.
When you look at how $$$$ the bench was at Southampton the lad should be on the bench rather than five defenders!

 

[Ulver]

Whilst I haven't seen him live, from the videos I've seen McAlinden always looks lively and skillful and can clearly finish.

Can any of the more dedicated fans please give us an insight into how he is playing now and perhaps compare him to current pros?

There were some top rated young players involved in the Kiddey game and although they lost they were good but young Mcalinden was away at this Milk Cup tournament and it seem he did well againt the likes of Chile, Mexico and Turkey at u21 international level, my grand kids found quite a bit of stuff on the net about it but here's a link with a bit of it.
