Aldershot Town 2-1 Fulham U21s - Tuesday 21st January 2025 (Match Night Thread)

[Alex]

It may be Fulham u21s but we've played some really entertaining football tonight

Sounds like a good training session. You won't find me paying to watch a training session.

It's not really a training session

That’s exactly what it is!

No it's not

[Localshot]

It is an official game with officials and an end product which has a meaning and therefore it is definitely NOT a training session in any sense of the words.

[beechcroft]

Well done boys !

[drewshotsfan]

Do we progress?

[redandbluescb]

Do we progress?

Yep.

[Aldershot_Rob]

A decent run out and hopefully a confidence booster going into the weekend.

Without wanting to sound harsh , was it coincidence that we conceded after the introduction of Theo?

It's a training session in the sense that no one cares about the end product. OK, there's money attached, but that's basically bribe money, put up by the PL to buy NL participation and get their Frankenstein Cup over the line.

I know a meaningless friendly cum training session when I see one.

[redandbluescb]

A very good performance for 85 mins. Missed Jenkins and Scott when subbed off.
Tetek motm.

Well if Fulham nippers are loosing to us ,can't see much of a future for then at top level.

[drewshotsfan]

Do we progress?

Yep.

Thanks

More money to be gained then, which is important for the financial security of the club

[redandbluescb]

We are strong in defence now with the 3 loanees and Scott and Jenkins.

No, there was a sense of nervousness around the players after he came on. We then almost conceded a second due to an absolutely pathetic attempt of a tackle by him.

Come off it Bob! A training session is totally different to a game. I know you don't like the competition but you cannot call it something it clearly is not. Whether there is money involved as you claim is irrelevant to the discussion.

Well done Shots. All wins are good. More cash in the coffers is good. Nothing to lose from here on.

Bring on the Tamworth
