Our current Reserve side are extremely young and they looked nervous tonight for some reason and at times tried too hard but considering the players who are missing from the side they did well to get a draw against a very good Middlesbrough side tonight. Daniel Fox was, as usual, outstanding tonight. Our first came from Clarkey with a bullet header from just inside the area from a corner who was the Captain tonight in place of Anthony Gerrard who is currently playing for Accrington Stanley on loan as their main centre-back is injured. Our second goal was a well taken strike from Nick Chadwick in the 90th minute. ayoungblue(08/09/04)

Andy Holden has been forced to put a very inexperienced team out for tonights game at Haig Avenue. There are only Chaddy and Clarkey with any first team experience. Steady Eddy Bosnor is hoping to catch the eye of a watching David Moyes.
