FA Youth Cup tonight. (31 Oct).

Bump reminder.
It's a double header of FA Cup action this week starting tomorrow night at Chorley against Bolton.
 
A shameless 2nd bump.
Hopefully there will be some support for our youngsters tonight, weather permitting.
 
HT
0-0.
Very close evenly matched 1st half played at a frantic pace.
No clear cut chances for either side.
Pitch is a bit dead making life difficult for the players.
 
46mins.
Extremely careless play between the keeper and the defence presents a chance to Bolton which they duly dispatch.
1-0
 
55mins.
A second for Bolton this time with a bit of good fortune when a ricochet falls kindly for them and the resulting shot nestles into the corner of the net.
2-0.
 
A very disappointing performance from our youngsters tonight.
Bolton were physically far stronger than us and whilst they only probably had 2 chances they took them both.
I don't think we actually created a clear cut chance of our own.
If I'm being honest I don't think playing a back 3 suits the u18s.
We are also short of a centre forward with Taylor Bowen's out injured.
One positive is young RWB (u/16) Ky-Mani Leliendal who is currently being selected ahead of the much hyped Conor McVeigh.

Some of the players seem to have gone backward compared to last year

It does look a bit like that because there were eight 2nd year scholars in last night's starting line-up and three of those are already on pro-contracts, Jones, Miles & Opawole.
Individually there are some decent players but the "mix" isn't quite right so as a team they are under-performing, IMO of course.
