Nevland plays in reserves

Posted in General by weltmeisterclaude on October 1, 2008

Stoke Reserves 2-2 Fulham Reserves

FULHAM: Stockdale, Stoor, Anderson (Briggs 83), Leijer, Smalling, Milsom, Brown (Saunders 90), Andranik, Smith (Hoesen 70), Nevland, Gray. Subs: Foderingham, Brown (gk).

He didn’t score a hat-trick or anything though.

Nice to see Danny Hoesen’s name there.  I think I’m right in saying that this is his first ‘competitive’ outing for the club, something to do with international clearance.

Finally, nice to see a proper reserve team isn’t it?  Say what you will about Roy, but he’s whipped the club into shape quite nicely.  I mean, sure, in an ideal world you’d want better players thoughout the system, but we’ve come a long way in a short time.   I last saw the reserves a couple of years ago and didn’t know who anyone except Bjorn Runstrom was.    Now the side’s being used to get the promising youngsters a game, and to get the fringe players match action.

    Seems there should be more reserve games for just the very reasons you mention. Interesting that Dempsey didn’t get in. Maybe that means he will finally get a start with Johnson out. Let’s hope for those of us who want to see him play.

    oh, come on, Rich; don’t be so mean! Who scored the goals?

    Rob Milsom scored the first and Wayne Brown scored the second (83rd minute penalty).

    Hang in there Clint. You don’t deserve to be on the fringe.
